The Japanese flag with the rays was a popular nationalist symbol in Japan between about 1890 to 1945. Technically it was never the Japanese flag, but rather the navy's flag, and remains so today. It was occasionally used in the army. It is used by some right wing nationalist groups in Japan.
A bit of a problematic choice for an entertainment system, using a military symbol that is politically charged. Likely the result of historical cluelessness.
