This is a cool idea: The August issue of Otona No Kagaku (Japanese for Adult Of Science) will be a synth themed edition called the Synthesizer Chronicle. It will feature interviews from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tomita and Fumitaka Anzai.
With the magazine comes the SX 150 Gakken Analog Synthesizer – which appears to be a basic battery-powered synth toy!
Last year, the magazine published a theremin issue.
If anybody knows anything about availability of this magazine outside of Japan, let us know in the comments!

yeah, i just heard about this too and searched all over the place for a way to get it . it’s a great idea. but like the write up says . if anyone knows how to get one if you aren’t in japan please put up a link!
you can buy that synth on ebay they are only like 30 or 40 dollars
I bought this synth on ebay from the seller hobby_japan and i'm pretty sure it came with this magazine because it came with a thick book thing entitled "Synthesizer Chronicles" or somthing like that. Hope this helps.
