I used this for several months to help my son practice getting ready for bed by himself. When you set the bedtime, Korasho (a character) will prompt him. It has an alarm clock function, of course, but it's also an excellent educational toy, teaching the day of the week and even having an English mode. It's a great item to incorporate into a daily routine, achieving not just two, but maybe even five benefits! The LCD screen has some scratches. Please check the photos. The color is a limited edition pearlescent light blue. I think it was called Shiny Blue? ✅ Operation confirmed ✅ Batteries will be removed before shipping (Requires 2 AA batteries)
