Otamatone Unicorn
An Otamatone for lovers of all things cute, girly, and magical!
What is an Otamatone?
The 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 "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.
How does it work?
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.
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.

Can’t help but laugh at some of the noises he makes . The grands all want their own little Sweet Cheeks.
My brother in law and parents didn't find it nearly as funny as we did, and I hope my BIL has had some moments of peace since Christmas but it's not likely.
I'd suggest getting a case for it, since it's a bit fragile feeling but it's overall a great gift.

Playing the Otomatone is an experience in itself. The sliding stem, which serves as the pitch control, allows for a wide range of notes. It takes a bit of practice to master, but that learning curve is part of the fun. The sound produced is surprisingly expressive, and with a bit of experimentation, you can mimic various instruments or create entirely unique tones.
The Otomatone's compact size adds to its appeal. It's portable enough to take anywhere, turning any environment into a potential impromptu performance space. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of musical exploration before needing a refresh.
One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the durability of the Otomatone. Despite its whimsical appearance, it feels well-built and capable of withstanding the playful handling it's likely to encounter. The quality of materials used adds a layer of longevity that is reassuring, especially for an instrument that invites experimentation.
While the Otomatone may not be the go-to choice for serious musicians, it excels in its ability to bring joy and creativity to music enthusiasts of all levels. It's a fantastic gift for both children and adults, and it's the perfect conversation starter for any gathering.
