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.

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!

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.

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.
