air piano toy

In Japan, the new term begins in April.
Many Japanese magazines appended a special supplement thing
to get their new readers.
” Sho-gaku-ichinen-sei ” ( First grade Elementary school students )
magazine is published 277,000 copies every month.
And they add a toy finger piano instrument in their magazine at the April issue.
In other words, 270k children took the such as Cyber Musical Instrument,
means every 4 Japanese first grade elementary school students got it!.
The name is ” Anyware Finger Piano Do-Le-Mi-kun”.
I got 2-units and played by hands.

I practiced hard :-)
