They posted about this tuner on Facebook today, but I did not see any info on their website about them.
Looks an awful lot like the Korg AW-2U. I have its cousin, the Korg AW-2G (pretty much the same tuner but chromatic instead of uke) and it works great.
Janeray, you read Japanese right? Can you (or anyone else) translate this?
Ah.... sorry! Didn't notice you asked for a translation.
But janeray did a pretty good job!
Anyway, I also agree that they are kind of expensive just for the benefit of having a Kamaka logo stamped on it.
Also, they make Hello Kitty ones :

I hadn't seen that yet, but I might pick one up when I head to the factory in September if they are available.
I see it is on the Kamaka Ukulele Club of Japan's website. http://www.kamakaukulelejp.com/tuner.html

It also appears to be available here: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/one-one/item/kk-1/ (but at $38 bucks that is too rich for my blood).
I just purchased a SNARK chromatic tuner for my uke, and works very well. Cost about 17.00dlls with tax and shipping. The Kamaka tuner looks interesting, but at 38.00dlls??? Seems a bit high.

Okay, now that? I might be willing to pay more for
And thanks re: the translation. Online kanji dictionaries certainly make it easier!
speaking of tuners. i am looking to get a better one. i want a clip on one and have heard there are tuners that can even be used in a loud room... that they can pick up vibrations in your uke or instrument and it can be tuned that way.... otherwise it can be tuned accoustically. does anyone know if such a tuner exists and if it is even a good one? looking for reasonably priced suggestions
And to go with that, a Hello Kitty Ukulele case (actually it's another OEM, in this "case", a Steady)
