The Oshiri Kajiri Mushi is one multitalented insect. In his Nintendo DS rhythm training game, Oshiri Kajiri Mushi no Rhythm Lesson DS: Kawai Ongaku Kyoushitsu Kanshuu, he teaches players how to use castanets, turntables and xylophones. My favorite instrument of the group is the kitchen set, a makeshift group of instruments comprised of pots, pans and a carrot sitting on a cutting board. Regardless of the instrument, the controls are similar. Players tap “keys” on a xylophone or the taiko drum to hit it.
The exception is in singing training, which has players actually sing into the microphone. Couple this with 100 songs, many from notable classical composers like Bach and Chopin, and Sega’s Oshiri Kajiri Mushi game should grab more attention towards the actual game beyond curiosity about the character.
