[News Release] 17 Aug 17 – Meet the Otamatone (blog.fromjapan.co.jp)

From blog.fromjapan.co.jp:

If you’ve never set your senses upon the visual and auditory wonders of this 21st-century instrument, an introduction is definitely in order. The eighth-note shaped Otamatone, with its adorable tadpole-like smile, produces a synthesized sound by pressing your fingers along the stem with one hand while squeezing the round cheeks of the beady-eyed face with the other. When both hands are synchronized, it produces a digital wah-wah sound like no other.
