If you set the Yomu Yomu-kun adapter on the center spindle, it will spin while you play.[expansion] Along with the original player, a Yomuyomu-kun EP adapter was also produced.

The adapter was completed after employees who are Yomuyomu-kun fans checked every detail, adjusting the facial features, limb ratios, color, and more over several sessions. When placed on the record player, it spins around like a music box, and you can enjoy its adorable appearance. In addition, customers who pre-order the record player will receive a Yomu Yomu-kun EP adapter as a bonus, limited to the first 1,500 units.
