I am fluent in Japanese, and watched the video. In the second scene where they power the fan, they use a store-bought "sports energy drink" (probably either Pokari Sweat, or Aquarius by the looks of it - I lived in Japan for 8 years, and still go there every other month).
That's pretty cool considering one day you might be able to go to the store and buy a $1.20 drink and fill up your MP3. My only question is how long one 'charge' of sugar lasts. I mean it won't be really useful if you can only run your MP3/PMP/Mobile for 30 minutes on one charge.
