Audio-Technica launched Makuake crowdfunding for portable record player SHARK BURGER, priced from ¥28,050 (15% off), March 5–May 15, shipping late May 2026.
The project fuses SOUND BURGER mechanics with Kesennuma’s Edo-era shark fishing industry, repurposing previously landed shark leather otherwise underutilized.
Each unit uses naturally varied shark leather handles, produced in limited quantities, and includes a metal plate listing capture coordinates and species.
