The Best Musical Instrument Gift

There are a lot of weird musical instruments out there, but many of them don’t make great gifts since it takes effort to learn how to play them. Not so with the Otamatone! There’s just not that much to know. Squeeze the bottom and it makes noise.


Is Otamatone a good gift?

A perfect toy for lovers of all things cute, silly, and weird, the Otamatone also makes a great gag gift and a unique and amusing gift for violinists and other musicians.

As feat

1. Otamatone (Kirby)

The second character edition of the Otamatone was released to celebrate Kirby's 25th anniversary. The body is pink and Kirby's face has been printed on the silicon head. The Otamatone's round head and Kirby are a match made in heaven. It doesn't get much cuter than performing Kirby's songs with the moving mouth! Functions and size are similar to the standard Otamatone. 


2. Otamatone Sanrio (Gudetama)

Adorable Sanrio Characters + Japan’s favorite musical toy - the perfect combo! Make music and have fun with Hello Kitty, Aggretsuko, and Gudetama! 

A perfect toy for lovers of all things cute, silly, and weird, the Otamatone also makes a great gag gift and a unique and amusing gift for violinists and other musicians. 


3. Otamatone Deluxe (White)

A bigger version of the Otamatone. As fun to play as the original but easier to handle and with an improved instrument feel. Can output sound through headphones or speakers thanks to a 3.5mm stereo jack. Also allows usage of an AC adapter (not included) so you never need to be afraid again of running out of batteries without noticing. 


4. Otamatone Melody (Black)

It doesn't get much easier than this: Just press the play button to the rhythm of the selected song and perform 11 famous tunes from all over the world. With Otamatone Melody everyone can be a star musician! A movable mouth for vibrato and an octave switch is included as well. How about forming an Otamatone choir with your friends? Use the Otamatone Melody as a key chain and take it where ever you go! 


5. Otamatone Japan (Ninja)

The Otamatone was born in Japan so why not dress it in Kabuki, Ninja, or Lucky Cat clothes? The first Otamatone with a two-colored body has the model name imprinted on its flag in Japanese kanji characters. Mt. Fuji and traditional Japanese paper patterns inspired the package design. Functions and size are similar to the standard Otamatone. 


6. Otamatone Sanrio (Hello Kitty)

Hello Sanrio's most popular character, Hello Kitty, is one of the most recognizable faces in the world! She has won over the hearts of younger and older girls (and boys) since Sanrio began producing Hello Kitty themed goods in 1974. Adorning everything from clothing to cookware, she is an incredibly popular figure, leaving her fans no shortage of ways to show off their love of all things Hello Kitty. Now, everyone's favorite kawaii kitty is available in the form of an Otamatone!

9. Otamatone Sanrio (Aggretsuko Rage)

Retsuko is a 25-year-old single anthropomorphic red panda, who works in the accounting department of a Japanese trading firm. Facing constant frustration every day from pushy superiors and annoying co-workers, Retsuko lets out her emotions by going to a karaoke bar every night and singing death metal. The “Sweet” version of the Aggretsuko Otamatone is modeled after her deceptively sweet, more subdued work persona, while the “Rage” version is modeled after her edgier “aggressive” after-hours metal singer persona. 


10. Otamatone Sanrio (Aggretsuko Rage)
