● Dream Collaboration Series ① Athletes x Harmonica
The "Harpist Status Improvement Committee," which aims to create a world centered on harpists, proposes various collaborations that harmonica players dream of. First of all, I would like to make a proposal for "athletes" to play during the competition, seeking "freshness" that is not enough for harmonica.
● Dream Collaboration Series ② Karaoke x Harmonica
Harpists also want to enjoy karaoke as much as they want! In response to this passion, I conceived an ideal karaoke for harpists. A song composition that prioritizes harmonica over songs, with an emphasis on preludes and interludes. It contains a delicate idea such as a remote control with Ten Holes specifications that can be input with a harmonica key.

Let's travel with harmonica! We propose a travel plan unique to small musical instruments that you can go anywhere with. There are lots of fun plans such as staying at a harmonica hotel, a harmonica concierge, a session at a piano bar and a late-night cafe, and an event to clear by playing.

● Piano array type 12Key harmonica belt
Ten Holes is a 12-key instrument. As you can see at a glance, this harmonica belt is designed with a piano keyboard arrangement. It is an indispensable companion for harpists who can find the necessary harmonica by groping even on the stage where the hands tend to get dark. (Planning: Tetsuya Hirose / Production: DARK END OF THE STREET)
Goods that solve the problem of harpists on stage when playing from the middle of a song. Since the instrument is small, the audience cannot tell what they are doing unless they are playing, and when they try to play, the vocals start talking. We are proposing a "solo appeal item" exclusively for harpists that can solve these problems at once.
● Multi-functional harmonica for elementary school students
In order to revive the harmonica in school education, I thought of a harmonica that children would want to have. Equipped with "seven secret tools" that children have loved for a long time, it is an excellent model that parents will be happy with, not only for fun but also for the safe life of children.
● Multi-functional harmonica for new members of society
I thought of "10 Toku Harmonica" that I would like to give to new members of society who are at the beginning of their lives. A harmonica with 10 functions that are useful in the workplace. It is an excellent model that can be said to be a companion who can carry it anytime and anywhere, and at the same time, it can be said to be a guide that condenses the wisdom necessary for working people.
A stamp exclusively for harpists has appeared in the popular LINE stamps. (This is on sale! "Harmonica-blown" Hitobuki Neta "stamp" )
Using LINE's stamp and voice message function, we will propose more fun and more harpist-like communication.
● Harmonica Robot Harmonica ("Robo Dutch" parody )
By combining a "robot" that small children love with harmonica, the plan is to make them like harmonica as well. In the parody of the nostalgic plastic model "Robo Dutch (robot friend)", I drew a character called the harmonica robot "Hamodatch".
● Harmonica Youkai ("GeGeGe no Kitaro" parody)
"Yokai" that Japanese people have been familiar with for a long time. I tried to express the strangeness of the harmonica player in the parody of "GeGeGe no Kitaro". You may have unknowingly met some of the mysterious and fun youkai friends who are enthusiastic about harmonica.
● New coronavirus countermeasure harmonica mask
I made a harmonica mask as a measure to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection. (Click here for how to make) Harmonica is an instrument that breathes in and plays, so it is designed to wrap around the whole. Therefore, it is now possible to store the part where the mouth is attached without touching it.
● Traditional crafts x harmonica
With the cooperation of Dr. Hidemitsu Maejima of Maejima Wood Carving, "MOKU Monica", which looks like a tree branch as a harmonica, was made of pottery (the pottery part was taught by Hirose as a potter of Mino ware). (Received and produced) "TOU Monica" has been completed. Please enjoy the difference in the texture and tone of the material.
● Leather cover for harmonica microphone
