The Beastie Boys, pioneers and influential figures in global music culture, and Sonos, a wireless home speaker brand born in the U.S. and launched in Japan last year, have collaborated to create a limited edition model available at BEAMS Roppongi Hills.
The collaborative model, which garnered much attention when it was released in the U.S. last December, was designed by Barry McGee, a longtime friend of the Beastie Boys, to commemorate the publication of their memoir, The Beastie Boys Book. Reflecting their innovative identity that has transcended many musical genres since their debut as a hardcore punk band, the Beastie Boys' new stylish logo is depicted in bold red graphics.
To commemorate the launch, a special corner will be set up at BEAMS Roppongi Hills from March 1 to March 10. In addition to the basic model "Sonos One," visitors can view and compare the "Sonos Beam," which realizes compact home theater, and the "Sonos Play:5," which can be connected to external devices such as records. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy the world of Sonos, which is only available at a limited number of stores!
And what's more, 25 readers of this article will be entered into a drawing to win an eco-bag featuring artwork designed by Barry McGee for this collaboration. To enter, write "Sonos" in the subject line, include your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number, and send it to ［ by 24:00 on Tuesday, March 5, 2012.presents@rhino-inc.jpPlease send an email to ］. Winners will be announced upon delivery of the prize. We look forward to receiving your entries.
