The purpose of this study is to make users enjoy musical performance like a band regardless of skill level on musical instruments. Other studies have focused on only beginners or only experts [1] [5] [4]. Very few attempts have been made at our purpose. Our system consists of miniature stage and dolls as players. When users move dolls on the stage, sound changes with corresponding dolls' motion and position. If users play in concert, users enjoy not only instruments or music but also talking about the course of performance and practice process. Band members often practice with making conditioning in order to make their songs better. If users use this system, they discuss the mood and flow of their music, practice their timing to play under their policy, keep a good balance between instruments and contrive ways to move their dolls. And they will show off their playing prowess. In the process, users are able to experience performance like a band. We call this system Drop*STAR (Dolls Rhythmic Pop Stars).
