It started as a toy back in 2009, winning the High Target Toy Prize at the Japanese Toy Awards a year later. The Otamatone has been gaining popularity among musicians of all levels ever since because it is so easy to play, so fun to handle, and despite its apparent limitations, offers way more potential than you'd think the first time you pick it up. The Otamatone Deluxe Hatsune Miku is a testament to the inventive and strikingly shaped synthesizer's popularity, because it bears the stamp of approval from one of Japan's most prominent pop music idols, the virtual singer Hatsune Miku!
Bigger than the standard version of the instrument, the Otamatone Deluxe Hatsune Miku is 100 x 440 x 220 mm (3.9 x 17.3 x 8.7"), so is closer to an actual musical instrument. You can wear it around your neck like you would with a saxophone. It is powered with three AA household batteries and has a 3.5 mm stereo jack for connecting with your headphones, speakers, or console for signal processing. Even better, it comes with a plush doll head of Hatsune Miku, green pigtails and all!
