2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a timepiece, when a time comes, a background music is output from a speaker, and a doll body as a decorative body hits a sound generator such as a bell body in accordance with the background music to simulate the sound. Performing the performance gives a visual decorative feeling to the timing operation. In this case, a predetermined time is required from when the doll body starts to be driven to when the target tone generator is actually hit. For this reason, when the doll body is driven under the output of the background music, the delay of the operation of the doll body with respect to the background music may be unnaturally noticeable.

In order to solve this kind of problem, Japanese Patent Publication No.
