Data di messa in onda: Giu 06, 2012

+Style: Hand-Crafted Wooden Speakers It's a speaker for a component stereo system and it's hand made from the wood of the broad leaf beech trees that flourish in the northern prefecture of Aomori. Music shouldn't just sound good, it should also look good. At least you might think so after seeing the product featured on our "+ Style" segment. We take a look at a special manufacturing process for wooden interior decorations applied to stereo speakers. Having captured the attention of both audiophiles and design aficionados in Japan and abroad, the speaker's shape is as unique as the method used to create it. The result is a beautiful product with high quality sound which has also become a hit in Europe.

We take a look at a gel you can use instead of air to fill your bicycle tires, turning flats into a thing of the past. These tires are filled with a gel-like substance instead of air. Professional cyclists use them for practice and they are great even for low-end shopping bikes that need to do a lot of curb hopping. With the product we are about to introduce, the tires you currently use on your bicycle could be the last ones you'll need for a long time.
