FAQ
Q) Can I get a list of all the song titles in this set.
A) Yes - if you freeze the video at the one minute point you can read all the track titles clearly (especially in 4K).
Q) Hey you’re holding the Japanese pages wrong - the text is vertical.
A) Google Translate will only translate horizontal passages of text so the page has to be orientated that way.

"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.

The styling on the Sopic player itself looks far more modern than the 1970s.

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

The shell of Sopic player looks so modern, I can't believe it's from the 70's!

This doesn’t look 70s at all. It looks a lot better than many things in 2020s.

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.

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 most innovative thing in this is the bright LED - they cost a fortune in '76, and used a lot of current. Beautiful though....

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.

If there was ever a time for the return of the puppets, that "Waterloo Road" was it.

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.

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.
