Kojima’s interest in portable music carries directly into this design, from the branded Walkman models in Peace Walker to the iPod in Metal Gear Solid 4 and the music system in Death Stranding 2, Kojima’s latest game. Across these works, portable audio devices highlight the inherent narrative properties carried by their real-life counterparts, allowing users to chose their “life soundtrack”.
