BanG Dream! Electric Guitar, Kumamon Ukulele, and More! Anime and Character Music Goods!

Music is something to be enjoyed and played. If you have music goods of your favorite characters from anime or video games, you will have more fun performing. So, here are some character goods available at Sound House.

■ BanG Dream! Goods Featuring Characters Playing in a Band

The Japanese nickname for BanG Dream is “Bandori” and it’s a project that mixes various media such as anime, games, and real live performances by voice actors. The electric guitars used by the BanG Dream! characters are especially popular.

○ Very popular! BanG Dream!-Electric guitars

BanG Dream! BTL LISA

This bass is played by Lisa Imai of the band Roselia of BanG Dream!-ESPxBanG Dream! Girl's Band Party! The Roselia series is in the collaboration series lineup.

There are other Lisa Imai models such as the BTL LISA II and the BTL ROSELIA LISA, but they are priced at over 600,000 yen. This BTL LISA can be purchased at a low price of about 60,000 yen at Sound House because of a review of the production system, wood, parts, etc.

ESP / BanG Dream! RANDOM STAR Kasumi Mini

This guitar is played by Kasumi Toyama of the BanG Dream! band Poppin'Party, and it’s part of the ESPxBanG Dream! Girls Band Party! collaboration series, with a short scale spec of 521mm and is easy to play. The bright red transformable electric guitar from ESP is a perfect match for the bright and sensitive Kasumi Toyama, the guitarist and vocalist of Poppin'Party.

○ You can play while looking at the characters! BanG Dream! Picks

ESP / GBP AYA PASTEL PALETTES 4

This is a character pick of Aya Maruyama, vocalist of the band Pastel*Palettes (a.k.a. Passpare) of BanG Dream. The onigiri-shaped 1mm pick is easy to use and has a very cute print of Aya Maruyama! Available at Sound House for 110 yen, this is a good choice for those looking for inexpensive BanG Dream! character goods. There are also picks of other bands' characters, so I think you’ll have loads of fun collecting them and adding some flair to your music.

■ Not to be outdone by BanG Dream!, these Hatsune Miku goods are just as popular as the BanG Dream! Hatsune Miku goods

Hatsune Miku is a character that started out as a vocaloid, but it is now available not only in music goods, but also in a wide range of other goods such as figurines, key holders, calendars, and more. There is also a Hatsune Miku signature guitar, so let me introduce you to various items.

○ Signature Electric Guitar with Hatsune Miku's Hair Color

GRASS ROOTS / G-STREAM-Miku Hatsune Miku Model

G-STREAM-Miku Hatsune Miku Model is an affordable version of ESP STREAM-Miku-Custom, including the manufacturing process and parts used. Hatsune Miku’s signature blue hair can easily be spotted anywhere.

○ Hatsune Miku picks from cute to cool

ESP / PS-Miku Hatsune Miku Pick Set

Cute picks with Hatsune Miku illustrations. This set includes 4 hologram picks and 2 stickers. The stickers come in 16 different types at random.

ESP / PD-Miku05B Hatsune Miku model

Here is a cool version of the Hatsune Miku pick. At first glance, it is hard to tell what the pattern is, but it’s a silhouette of Hatsune Miku. The character doesn't stand out too much, so I recommend this for those who are fans of Hatsune Miku but are embarrassed to use character picks.

○ Hatsune Miku strap made of cowhide leather for durability

ESP / ES-S-70 Miku Hatsune Miku model

This guitar and bass strap is made of solid cowhide leather. The silhouette of Hatsune Miku is not printed on the strap, but is stamped in silver foil, giving it a three-dimensional, luxurious look. Try it with the G-STREAM-Miku Hatsune Miku Model!

■ Kumamon goods that are for the ukulele!

There are many Kumamon goods, but I didn't know there was even a ukulele! Here are some of them.

○ This is a pretty serious ukulele! Kumamon Ukulele

FAMOUS / KMU-1 KUMAMON ukulele

FAMOUS Ukulele is a high-class ukulele with the word KUMAMON and the character carved into its body. The calming design is cool and it even comes with a soft case with an illustration of Kumamon. The soft case with an illustration of Kumamon is a must-have for Kumamon fans.

○ Shaking the shaker is fun!

PLAYWOOD / KUMAMON shaker

This Kumamon figure isn’t a stuffed animal, but it's actually a shaker. Shake it and just enjoy the rhythm. It is also a cute decoration.

■ Character Royalty

Hello Kitty is so popular that it’s considered to be character royalty. I introduce to you the Hello Kitty electric guitar.

○ Here is an awesome Hello Kitty guitar with traditional Japanese patterns and of course, Hello Kitty.

FERNANDES / ZO 3HK '20 KABUKU

The Hello Kitty illustration is on the popular ZO-3 guitar with a speaker. The Japanese pattern on the whole guitar makes a big impact and the juxtaposition of Hello Kitty is interesting.
