Morinaga Seika is renewing its long-selling "Choco Ball" toy cans, which can be obtained by collecting one "gold" angel or five "silver" angels, and is introducing a new can, the "Programming to Sing Kyoro-chan Can".

Programming Kyoro-chan Can

The "Toy no Kanzume" campaign has continued for 55 years since Chocoballs were first sold in 1967.

The new "Programming Kyoro-chan Can" features nine buttons on the back of the can that can be used to program a favorite song to be sung, as well as a mode that allows the user to sing a sample song before becoming familiar with programming operations and a mode that allows the user to practice basic operations with Kyoro-chan. The program also includes a mode that allows users to practice basic operations with Kyoro-chan.

It is said that even those who are new to programming can enjoy the game while acquiring a programming mindset.
