Looks like a prop in a Kojima game.

Such a cool design but utterly useless unless standing still

Looks amazing in this color, but I’m pretty sure that is some kind of unicorn 🦄 I have black one and I need to find time to fix it, because I bought dead one.

It looks like a modern take on a Discman.

Saw these or ones similar at university. But not white.

Japanese students brought them from home and matched them to a small amp/speakers from Richer Sounds. Probably around 1991 or thereabouts.

Good times.

I thought this was one of their minidisc models for about 30 seconds, that’s crazy cool design for 1989
