Delivering Happy Sounds to All!
The Otamatone is not only musical toy but also an instrument. In 2009, the ingenious folks at Maywa Denki created the Otamatone, and it’s been leaving an indelible mark on hearts and minds ever since. Fast forward to 2010, and it’s scooping up Japan’s prestigious Toy Grand Prize.
It then hopped across borders, gracing the Transformer Exhibition in France and dazzling audiences in the dance spectacle “ROBOTI” curated by Spain’s talented Blanca Lee in 2013. And let’s not forget its appearance on the Spanish sensation, “Spain’s Got Talent.”
Support for All Educational Groups
To bring unique experiences with smiles and surprises to the world, Hamee US, Corp. will support school districts, daycare centers, children’s hospitals, and other related associations and institutions. We will donate Otamatones to these groups and co-create environments that enable children to access new musical experiences and culture.
Letter from CEO
Our company’s vision is to “Deliver Happy Moments to the World,” and the Otamatone is a pivotal product in achieving this goal. It transcends being a mere musical toy; it’s an instrument suitable for all ages, from kids to grandparents and music enthusiasts to professionals.
The Otamatone has garnered praise from our devoted fans for its value as a gift and its educational benefits in introducing music and sound from children to adults. Their feedback inspires us to expand our efforts in creating more joyful moments for communities worldwide.
We sincerely hope that more communities can embrace the Otamatone and enjoy the fun it brings to various activities. Together, let’s continue to spread happiness and the magic of music.
With gratitude,
David Jung
CEO, Hamee US, Corp.
