Ningengakki turns body parts into musical instruments

by Johnny on June 24, 2011

Japanese toy maker Takara Tomy has created an anthropomorphic toy that uses conductivity to transfer the human touch into a bass drum, snare, or other musical instrument. You can play with up to 4 people and create your own sound, or pick from one of the 10 preset melodies to jam with.

I can totally see this catching on with NYC subway performers!

There is even a YouTube page set up that features different people experimenting with their bodies.
Ningengakki (literally, human instrument) goes on sale this later month and retails for 3,360 yen.
