We know Electroplankton sort of covered the musical DS toy thing, but we are so impressed with every aspect of Jam Sessions. It sounds great, it looks fun, the interface, while a little homebrew-looking, is just ... pleasant. Look at that floral background!
We now know a little more about Jam Sessions, like that it will come loaded with 20 licensed songs to play along with, complete with lyrics, and that your playing is limited to strumming rather than picking individual notes-- sorry, no solos. You can also change the sound of your guitar, adding distortion and delay effects. There's still no game attached, just songs you can play along with, or freeform strumming.
This game (well, toy) just goes so far against what usually gets released in the US in so many ways. It looks totally fun and totally relaxing.
Check out a couple of screens after the break.

This looks so cool. A lot of my family and friends play guitar so maybe I should get some practice.

I'm really torn... I want to buy this immediately to mess with it, but I keep telling myself that if I wait for the domestic US release, it'll have recording added to it, in addition to a little benefit I call 'being in a language I can read.'

Haha, my first glance at this screenshot made me think it had something to do with chemistry...

What the hell? This is just a homebrew ripoff of an ACTUAL ds game called Hiite Utaeru DS Guitar M-06. I can't believe they didn't even take the time to make their own graphics.

If by "homebrew" you mean "published by Ubisoft" and by "ripoff" you mean "American localization" then... yeah. Total ripoff.
