Otamatone!

Along my wanderings of the internet I found these!

(I'm trying to be informative and stuff, I'm not all that funny ᴾᶫᵉᵃˢᵉ ᶫᵒᵛᵉ ᵐᵉ)

Wikipedia page says: "The Otamatone is a musical instrument developed in Japan by the Cube Works Company along with Maywa Denki and Novmichi Tosa. It is a musical-note shaped singing toy which requires two hands to be played: while one hand holds and/or squeezes the "head", the other hand controls the pitch of the tune by sliding the finger up and down the stem."

They are super adorable and there are some really cool videos of them being played. My favourite is a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana. http://youtu.be/IxMBkwS6Ubg

Chihuahua Whistle!

"New instrument from Maywa Denki – Chihuahua Whistle! Cute doggie can bark with your blow. Just blow into the chihuahua’s tail to play. You can squeeze its cheeks (same as Otamatone) to bark (Wan Wan – Japanese dog).
There is five types of Chihuahua:
pink, white and blue – with higher pitched ‘bark’
tiger and panda – sound lower"

Here's the website if you want to check them all out for yourself http://www.otamatone.com/

Anyways, I hope you enjoy learning about the Otamatone as much as I did :D
