Leave it to the Japanese to invent a musical instrument with a face that looks like a cartoon character. The Otamatone was developed by toy company CUBE Works and Maywa Denki, an art collaboration of the Tosa family that specializes in nonsense machines. -via the Presurfer

    If they had worked a little harder, they could’ve created the “Obamatone”. Perfect for playing “The Messiah”.

    I think the coolest thing about this is that the note can be vibrato’d by shaking the device. Very neat, I love the design.

    Huh neat, but I’m more concerned that this guy’s shirt says “Bambi”

    I found this one online. It seems the black is sold out but the white is available.
