What is this and who sells it?

I googled and turned up nothing except this video. Is this from a DIY kit or something?

It is made by "Effectornics Engineering" (yes, spelled like that) based out of a Japanese music shop/group/entity called HaTeNa: http://www2.odn.ne.jp/hatena/ but the Lustre isn't shown on their website. I can't read Japanese much though.

I tried to translate their website with babelfish and the conversion isn't perfect, to say the least. I sent an email to see if the pedal is still in production or not. Let you know what I find out, if anything.

I found more info and pictures, but I can't get the Japanese to translate to English using Babelfish.

Was able to translate with Google, well "translate".

Looks like it was a limited edition of 10 pedals that are sold out.

I know this is an old thread, but finding one of these is like looking for the holy grail for me. Anyone ever run into one of these? I know it's a long shot...

Bumping just in case someone has ever seen one of these or if anyone knows Japanese and can help me contact the builder. I've tried to contact the builder, but only did so in English. So I'm probably being dumped by his spam filter. Babelfish Japanese is probably as "spammy" as English.
