In Japan some city council types with apparent surpluses have, by adjusting grooves in the pavement, have developed musical roads. As cars drive over certain sections, specific notes are played, resulting in songs that can be heard and enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike.

We at East Windup Chronicle think MLB teams should consider installing musical roads around the five new ballparks to amuse fans as they tour around their home team’s new stadium.

First, you’ll find the video from a Japanese television program depicting a musical road on National Route 375 in Wakayama.

Below it you’ll find a link to MLB.com’s Ballparks of the Future, where you can see depictions of the new stadiums the A’s, Yankees, Mets, Nationals and Twins are planning, along with sound files of our recommendations for each new venue’s musical road.

First, the Japanese television musical road segment:
