Move it your way • Touch: Guide the stick directly and feel the string and bamboo body respond • Motion: Use your device’s motion sensors to set Bamboo Cicada spinning • Auto: Sit back and let it move and sing on its own Three hand-drawn scenes Travel between a moonlit bamboo grove, sunlit countryside, and a quiet willow reverie. Fireflies, rice fields, distant hills, a farmhouse, and trailing willow branches give every scene its own calm rhythm. Choose a daytime companion Pick a dragonfly or butterfly for the daytime scenes. They glide through the sky and flutter among the grasses, adding small moments of life to every play session. Three cicada styles Choose Natural Bamboo, Verdant Bamboo, or Lacquer Bloom.
