The Ten no Koe 2 (天の声2) is a device released by Hudson Soft to allow PC Engine HuCard games to save data. There was never a "Ten no Koe 1" - the "2" indicates that the device has 2kB of storage space. The name Ten no Koe (lit. "Voice From The Heavens") is a reference to the password system used in the Hudson Soft's Famicom game Momotarou Densetsu, which was ported to the PC Engine under the title Momotarou Densetsu Turbo.
The Ten no Koe 2 plugs into the rear of a PC Engine and is powered by two AA batteries (which are used to keep the save data alive). If the batteries are running low, a red LED will glow - save data will be kept as long as the user replaces the batteries "quickly".
This system was replaced in 1991 by the more convenient Ten no Koe Bank solution.
