Very unusual. I must say it all seems rather pointless though. Did you buy it in the UK?

I vaguely remember that the 'Fine Arts' branding was used by some iteration of Grundig in the 1990s for 'lifestyle' audio gear.

Normally you'd need to watch out for odd calibration with a Grundig cassette deck, but that is late enough to be set up for Japanese tape formulations. It won't really matter if you don't plan to record on it though.
