No, I cannot see transparent music equipment in transparent boxes becoming a clear solution in the near future.

After the Oum Shinrikyo Sarin Incident, all rubbish bins on platforms in train stations in Tokyo became transparent. Will boxes used to transparent music equipment undergo the same transformation?

He sure escaped like a scardy cat.

Many packages leak. Just get a wide straw and insert in hole at bottom of box/case and go to town. People will just think another box leaked and clean it up.

The case size is now measured in Ghosn (Gn) units.

In an interview with Fox Business Channel’s Maria Bartiromo five days ago, Ghosn denied hiding in a musical box.

I think I might invest in one of those "cases". You never know!

This is just a teaser marketing strategy. I wouldn’t put it past them to introduce “The Ghosn” - their biggest and widest instrument case in their new product lineup.

The real issues seem to me to be (1) don't eat anything that is going to make you fart and (2) don't drink anything that is make you desperate to take a pee.

Well, Ghosn has amplified concerns about Japan's justice system.
garypen
Yes. It turns out he hid inside a full body suit that looked like a criminally corrupt Japanese CEO. So, they let him right through.

I'm disappointed the cases are not cello-shaped. They look more like flight cases for amplifiers, not "musical instruments" as was reported.

Could have been a great viral ad for how spacious these things are. Wasted opportunity
Do the hustle
It seems nobody else saw the report stating his escape in an instrument case was false.

Of course. Still clever, though.

Yamaha is taking advantage of a situation to get some free advertising.
Can't be mad at them!

The details of Ghosn's escape remain sketchy, but various media outlets have reported that the 65-year-old, assisted by private security operatives, hid inside a case that was too large to fit through airport scanners before it was loaded onto the plane.
That's the ticket! Good thing Ghosn doesn't have claustrophobia.

Don't try this at home

*those cases are 'far' from being airtight.
KnowBetter
You won't suffocate. I made out with a girl during a trade show in a flight case almost exactly as shown on the right. Sure it got a little hot and sweaty in the flight case but we certainly didn't run out of air. FYI, those cases are from being airtight. Now if that had been something like a Pelican case, yeah you be out and gone as they are airtight.

This is just an attempt at SNS viral advertising... move along, nothing to see.

sounds like sour grapes to me

@kurisupisu
Lol
This article is pointless. Do people really need a warning for something like this? Also, sneaking someone in or out with the music equipment isn't a new thing. They've been doing it for a very long time.
kurisupisu
Just drill several holes in the bottom and it’s all good!
