Nobody geeks out harder than the Japanese. Their obsession with obsessing over everything has led them into producing some of the most sought after goods, as well as being the pioneers of numerous trends. Here we see another example of Japanese ‘Otakuism’ with this catalog dedicated to old boombox design.

This Japanese catalog compiles all the old Boombox designs from brands like National, Sony and Sanyo into one picture friendly book. So if you’re one of those that has fond memories of the boombox-era, or you think the smaller the iPod Nano gets is the better for portable music, you might want to ask your usual Japanese book importers to order a copy of the catalog for your reference.

The Japanese Old Boombox Design Catalog is available to purchase at Amazon Japan. They’re priced at JPY1680 per copy.
