<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6322" title="yorozu_sound_resolution" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/yoruzu_sound_resolution.jpg" alt="yoruzu sound resolution" width="520" height="416" /></p>
<p>Fresh from the streets of Japan, the <a href="http://www.devicenet.co.jp/yorozu/">Yorozu Audio Sound Revolution kit</a> lets you transform just about anything into a speaker.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6323" title="yorozu_sound_resolution_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/yoruzu_sound_resolution_2.jpg" alt="yoruzu sound resolution 2" width="520" height="260" /></p>
<p>Simply mount the Yorozu&#8217;s vibrating sonic transducer wherever you want it, and it&#8217;ll turn the surface into a conductive sound system. While the kit includes a cardboard milk carton that you can use for starters, pretty much any piece of cardboard, a window, a plastic water bottle or even a white board will work. While the speaker&#8217;s 1-watt amplifier (2-watt peak) won&#8217;t blow anyone&#8217;s eardrums, you&#8217;re probably buying one of these for the curiosity of it, not for the volume.</p>

<p>I couldn&#8217;t find a video of the Yorozu in action, but I did manage to dig up this clip of an OEM version of the same technology, which shows off how it works.</p>

<p>And if you don&#8217;t live in Japan, no worries. The guys over at the <a href="http://www.japantrendshop.com/yorozu-audio-sound-revolution-kit-p-389.html">Japan Trend Shop</a> have been kind enough to start shipping these around the globe for all of us to enjoy. ($89 USD).</p>
