The styling on the Sopic player itself looks far more modern than the 1970s.
"Fortunately I have a few Japanese radios in the house" - of course you do Matt.
I must say, the Sopic looks incredibly modern for a device from '76! The LED, the design itself, that clear cover for the bottom, the manual, the case, all of it looks like it was designed in the 2010s or later.
1976 and looks like something a modern electronics company would make. Incredible design aesthetics and beautiful font. I was expecting to see bluetooth and USB at points. :D
I can't believe that was made in the seventies. It looks like a modern product, way ahead of its time
The most innovative thing in this is the bright LED - they cost a fortune in '76, and used a lot of current. Beautiful though....
17:39 - Ah yes, those old classics like "Sorrowful Stop," "That Person," "I Love You Without Seeing You," "Memories of Green Glass," "Memories Pillow," "Crust Champs," "Manufactured By Name," "You're Crowned Too Much," and "The Sun Is Hot."
The shell of Sopic player looks so modern, I can't believe it's from the 70's!
JMC will always be "Jupiter Mining Corporation" for me!
I love the honesty. Most YouTubers say "I'm not that good at painting, but I'll give it a go" and then produce a Caravaggio. But when Matt says he's not that good at accents, he's not lying.
When are you releassing the Techmoan Christmas album for us?
This set is kind familiar my grandma generation. They carry those set to “Ohanami” party Cherry blossom party and drink and sing. And words written in tape’s side edge is Korean. Almost those generations are gone now. They are almost around 90. My grandpa was past away 3years ago. edit :side edge is just number sorry. Those items were sold via infomercials. or in adv in news paper.
6:07 i was in that village in Serbia visiting my grandmother and when i arrived home, got notified about you new video, and when i opened it, well, i was a pleasant surprise. Greetings from Serbia.
This thing is so futuristic looking for the 70s, I would have never guessed 70s just by looking at it. The text sort of gives it away but that's it, what a cool little device.
Great singing Matt, real vintage voice, lika a half drunk 1960's sailor :-D loved it !
Uncle Mat’s down the road with the box again, pretend we’re not in
Waterloo Road brings back memories...I remember learning Les Champs-Élysées in my high school French class, but had no idea it was originally in English.
Uncle Mat's back from Japan, and he's brought another karaoke machine with him.
I like uncle Mat. He's kind of weird but the stuff he brings over is kind of interesting.
