Valerion VisionMaster Max — Makuake's all-time No.1 projector (¥300M+)

Conclusion: ¥100M in ~12 hours, ¥300M+ final — Makuake's fastest gadget and No.1 projector (2026, funded).

Why it was hot

AWOL Vision's true-4K RGB-laser projector “VisionMaster Max.” After launching on Makuake (Dec 16, 2025) it cleared ¥100M in about 12 hours — the fastest ever in Makuake's gadget/appliance category — and finished over ¥300M, the all-time No.1 in the projector category (closed Feb 27, 2026). It's also a reverse-import hit, having first raised over ~¥1.6B on US Kickstarter.

What moved people

High-end engineering — black rendering with contrast claimed up to 50,000:1, ISF calibration — and aggressive early-bird pricing (¥450,000 for the first 150 vs ~¥790k retail) drove the opening surge even at a premium price.

Editor's note

A reverse-import, premium case where genuine craft landed. But a pricey projector demands checks on install environment, warranty and support (continuity for overseas-born gear). The final total here reflects the verified “surpassed ¥300M” milestone — rely on official figures for the exact close. This project has ended.
