OtamatoneSanrio Kuromi Electronic Portable Music Instrument / Synthesizer Toy from Japan by Maywa Denki (Officially Licensed Hello Kitty and Friends) [English Instructions]

My girl loved this and likes to play at randomly throughout the day. She thinks it's the cutest one available and even like the little sound box inside its mouth and finds that interesting. While this instrument is difficult to learn it is a cute toy to have around and soothes some of the frustration of learning such a difficult instrument. My other child also has one and they do concerts. Just flow with it. Unique and useful entertainment for all ages.

got this on a whim and it is incredibly fun to noodle around on. my melo's face rendered in otomatone style is both very cute and very silly looking, which I think is perfect. it IS meant to be a toy and getting correct intonation is quite difficult--the pitch changes by a whole half step just by my rolling my finger slightly, but if you're willing to just go with where it takes you it's delightful. I will warn that, of all the ridiculous instruments I own, this is the one that annoyed my family the fastest. take that as you will

Bought this because of reels we saw on IG. The keypad is hard to press for adult fingers? Have to press pretty hard and on a certain angle to make the sound. Wish there was a way to view where the notes were on the device itself. But other than that, it's fun to play around with while listening to music

I got the Otamatone for my two-year-old daughter, and while she’s too young to put a melody together, she absolutely loves the unique sounds it makes! It’s such a fun and engaging toy, and the quirky design keeps her entertained.It’s lightweight and easy for little hands to hold, making it a great introduction to musical toys. Perfect for kids and anyone who enjoys experimenting with sound in a playful way!

This is a cool toy. Instrument or whatever you want to call it. However, my daughter has yet to learn how to use it properly and it’s very loud and annoying right now. Even with the volume down, it’s not my favorite toy.

These are lots of fun, can’t go wrong with it!

Fun little thing to play with, works as intended. The deluxe version is Definitely a must for those who have bear paws for hands though.

This Sanrio hello kitty Otamatone is such a fun spin on the original ! It works great ! Was a bit hard to learn how to use it but once you get the hang of it so much fun . We actually googled some songs to play on it . Also make sure to buy batteries separately as they don’t come with it . Over all super happy and my daughter loves it !
