Tokyo-based online gadget store Thanko (they have an English site) is now selling the Sport MP3, a combination of neckband earphones and an MP3 player [JP]. And this time it’s nothing weird.

The device (weight: 40g) comes with 2GB of memory and a USB port, supports MP3/WMA/WAV files and features up to 5 hours of battery life.
