What is Otamatone?

Otamatone is an electronic instrument shaped in the form of a musical note. Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun to play electronic musical toy characterized by its eighth note-shaped body, adorable moving mouth, and silly, buzzing, amusingly off-key sound, aka "voice".

Developed by design firm Maywa Denki, it was first released in Japan in 2009 and has been the country’s best-selling musical toy ever since. Innovative, unique, and now a popular toy worldwide, the Otamatone has earned high praise from fans and the toy industry alike, including the Japan Toy Association’s grand prize Japanese Toy Award in their ’High Target’ toy division.

The Otamatone creates electronic tones that you can control based on the position of your finger on the touch-sensitive fretboard. Use a switch on the back to choose an octave and slide your fingers up and down to play different notes. Open the Otamatone’s mouth with a squeeze to change the sound from a hum to an “ahh” and create a “Wah Wah” effect.

It looks and plays like a toy, but the more you use it, the more you see the position of your "otamatone" sound. Even if you don’t have a sheet music while you use it, you may be able to play tunes with the melodies. You can also play songs by practicing in a simple manner. This synthesizer has been topping Japan’s list of instruments and even made it to Spain’s got Talent!
