It seems that Nakamichi has stopped most of its home audio business.
They just began offering cassette decks again recently (in Japan), but no
moves on MD. They do have a car MD set though.
AFAIK B&O hasn't released anything new lately. Their designs could really
benefit from newer technologies, like LCD, flat picture tubes, MD, etc.
Bose has the following MD decks in Japan. The info is all in Japansese.

If just based on appearance, I'd get myself one of the Kenwood sets that can
be laid out vertically/horizontally.
