Every weekend, we will deliver the most accessed news articles in “Kakaku.com New Product News” in ranking format (October 15th to October 21st).

"Popopopopo♪". This week's top ranking is a mysterious melody that you often hear in supermarkets and stores (or rather, it stays in your ears, doesn't leave your head, is engraved in your mind). The article was about the release of "Yobikomi-kun", who is familiar from "Popo Popo Popo ♪ Popo Popo Popo ♪", as a "mini toy with voice" in December.

Normal "Yobikomi-kun" was originally developed by Gunma Denki as a sales promotion terminal to be installed in the bargain section of supermarkets. For example, if you hear “that mysterious melody” that is played in the roasted sweet potato section sold by Don Quijote, a major discount store, some people might get a kick out of it.

Actually, this "Yokokomi-kun". Although it is for commercial use, it is sold to the general public. The price at the Gunma Denki online shop (as of 11:00 on October 22, 2021) is 23,980 yen for "Calling-kun (without LED)" and 32,780 yen for "Calling-kun (with LED)". In fact, there are rumors that when the "Yakukomi-kun" was set up at a refreshment stand at the school festival, "a line formed" or "the popcorn sold out immediately."

Looking at the price again, the real "Yakukomi-kun" is in the 20,000-30,000 yen range. That's the truth. Aoshima Bunka Kyozai Co., Ltd. released the "Super Sound 'Yobikomi-kun' Mini" for 792 yen. A simple calculation shows that you can buy 30 to 40 mini-toys with just one real Yakukomi-kun! (?).

While you are hesitant to go out actively due to the corona whirlpool, why not enjoy shopping with "Super Sound 'Yokomi-kun' Mini" while staying at home?
