The HiSaturn was Hitachi's licensed version of the Sega Saturn, sold only in Japan from 1995 with Hitachi branding and extra multimedia features. Its startup screen and jingle differed slightly from the standard Saturn boot, which makes this version rarer among collectors. Clips of the sequence circulated through retro gaming forums, YouTube preservation videos and emulator communities. It remains popular because few people owned the hardware outside Japan, so the sound works as a distinct marker of import Saturn collecting and 32 bit era nostalgia today.
