Jukebox of the future, now at burger king.

from pop stars to mickey mouse, the japanese are always the first to grab onto american trends, but one american classic japan isn’t rushing to embrace is burger king.


To entice the tech-obsessed nation in the past, Japan’s Burger King flagship in Tokyo has tried co-branding themselves with software launches from Microsoft, like their unsuccessful Windows 7 Whopper: 7 patties for 777 yen. Now they’re trying a less literal approach with Sound Spots, an overhead speaker that plays music from the customer’s iPod or other mP3 player. The speaker is encased in a dome that prevents the music from traveling to other tables. No reports yet on whether the Sound Spots are attracting new customers, but the design seems to effectively contain the sound around only one table.

about Perrin Drumm

Perrin Drumm is nothing if not a road trip enthusiast. After moving from her hometown of LA to NY and to LA again, she hiked through half a dozen National Parks, snow-shoed a sizable portion of the Adirondacks, and resisted the overwhelming charm of the South to get back to Brooklyn, where she struggles to learn the trumpet, aspires to be a better Scrabble player, and lives and writes, and remains, as of yet, catless.
