What the world needs now is more unicorn chaser. And it’s hard to beat the adorable Japanese ribbon controller/squeezable mouth formant instrument, the CUBE Works/Maywa Denki Otamatone.
Try watching this just once. I dare you.
This is the work of performer/educator/personality moshibass, of course. And they’re serious about bringing more Otamatone to your life. (No joke, this thing makes so much more sense to me than those horrible cheap Yamaha recorders we learned on in school. It’s even more expressive and allows for alternative tunings. And it elicits just the opposite emotional reaction to those recorders.)
Nelson Silva aka motion bass is happy to teach you the Otamatone, right before getting you on Blink 182:
But I’m just here for this cover of “Bring Me To Life”:
Also, Kirby. My God, yes.
PS for extra nerdy bonuses, there are a ton of cute 3D printable mods for Otamatone on moshibass’ Printables.
