Cool Japanese Barcodes

Comrade Kodomut spotted these cool Japanese barcodes and shared it on his twitter. Apparently these barcodes are created by a Japanese firm d-barcode, which specialises in creating unique barcodes.
Here’s more interseting barcodes, and I wonder if they all actually work?
Cool barcodes.
Most of them should work though, as long as one line’s worth can be scanned by a barcode reader (which to my knownledge only needs to read a line about 2mm wide across the entire code). The one that looks like a waterfall might pose a problem.
Saw something like this with coca cola can in Indonesia
Just one more reason why I think Japan is awesome.
As long as there is a straight line of the barcode about 3 mm in width, the reader should have no problem reading the code.
The waterfall one most certainly cannot be read, as you can’t find a straight line perpendicularly crossing the whole barcode in width.
Target has custom barcodes on their green bags and they work so I’m sure these do as well.
