From Japan, the "World's Cutest Weirdest Musical Instrument"
Celebrating the fun and excitement of the big daddy of the "World's Cutest Weirdest Musical Instrument", jointly developed by Maywa Denki and CUBE-WORKS, Otamatonists around the world are invited to submit a video featuring the Otamatone Deluxe or the Otamatone. Awarded the grand prize of the High-Target-Toy category at the national Japanese Toy Grand Prix in 2010, the Otamatone continues to be one of the top-sellers on the Internet media and e-commerce site "ALEXCIOUS" operated by ALEX Corporation. (ALEXCIOUS showcases top-quality Japanese products). Released on May 28th, the DELUXE has extra funky features and at 1.5 times the size of the regular Otamatone, it's even cuter, even quirkier, with an even bigger grin! The distinctly Japanese Otamatone DELUXE is wacky, adorable, and a great instrument for some truly unique electronic performances.
