About the "Yoichi Ochiai x Japan Philharmonic Orchestra Project"

The Yoichi Ochiai x Japan Philharmonic Project is a project that aims to update the orchestra viewing experience through technology, build a more diverse society through arts and culture, and promote Japanese culture.

Focusing on the importance of "physicality" that comes from the synesthesia of the five human senses, we are working on a number of initiatives to eliminate the separation of the five senses (separation between hearing, touch, sight, etc.) and create a synesthetic "physicality."
