km5 said the collaboration grew out of its resonance with Kojima's approach of using music symbolically in his games, combined with Kojima's stated fondness for analog media. The player is designed after the BB Pod, with special coloring exclusive to this model and caution marks added as accents. The outer packaging has been changed for the collaboration, and the set includes a limited-design postcard with scenes and motifs from DEATH STRANDING 2 that can be set into the main unit. The model is a limited-quantity product and will end once it sells out.
