Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Ghostbusters would probably call it a "miniature PKE Meter" and carry one in their pocket, "baketan" is a small ghost detector that doubles as a mobile phone strap. This time it's being released as the limited edition of a compilation CD of songs about "baketan" and ghosts. Featured are PINE*am, Elektel, blau (unit of Hitomi, ex-Les 5-4-3-2-1), Melting Holidays, roly poly rag bear and more fine indies units.

"baketan" lights up red when ghosts are nearby, holding the button down will turn it into "barrier mode" to protect you. A must item for sure, but the question is... do you really want to know?
