When we realize that everything around us is a gift from the Earth and the cosmos, a sense of gratitude naturally begins to grow. With each breath of air, we feel the pulse of Inochi. The sun’s warm light, the water that nourishes the land— together they give us the power to live. Though invisible to the eye, all Inochi is deeply connected and mutually supportive. Inochi is a great gift from the universe.

The General Incorporated Association Feel&Sense seeks, through music, film, and exhibition-based art, to inspire people to feel Inochi from a cosmic perspective, cultivate sensitivity to the subtleties of the human heart and mind, and nurture the strength to live by returning to the source of Inochi. Since our launch in 2018, we have presented the immersive art film LIFE®︎ Inochi—A Journey to Re-experience Birth, designed to evoke awe and wonder, in science museums, art museums, planetariums, schools, sacred World Heritage sites such as Koyasan, and even at international summits.

These activities have created opportunities—across generations and cultures—for people in Japan and abroad to experience the presence of Inochi.

This sustained work has been highly recognized, and in 2025 it was officially designated as a Cooperative Event of the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition. On September 27, 2025, together with the Inochi Forum, Feel&Sense presented LIFE®︎ Inochi with Super Kids Orchestra at the Expo Hall, the main stage of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. The performance featured cosmic imagery mapped across the entire venue, as director and artist Ma-sahiko Hashimoto was joined by the Super Kids Orchestra under the guidance of world-renowned conductor Yutaka Sado. Audience and performers alike were enveloped in the boundless space and pure sounds, tracing the grand journey of Inochi back to its origin. The finale featured the Inochi Forum’s theme song INOCHI (lyrics by the Inochi Forum, music by Masahiko Hashimoto), sung by about 200 participants. Among them were children living with serious illnesses or unable to attend school, yet on that day, all differences dissolved as they shared in the resonance of Inochi and hope for the future—a truly irreplaceable moment.

The Inochi Orchestra was held at the EXPO Hall, with 6,000 attendees

Building on these achievements, Feel&Sense envisions global expansion toward 2050, beginning with participation in the 2030 Expo in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At the same time, they will unite the film LIFE®︎ Inochi and the song INOCHI into the INOCHI WORLD PROJECT—an art initiative to draw forth and interweave each person’s “voice of Inochi” and inspire change worldwide. The project’s two pillars will be the “Inochi Orchestra” and the “Inochi Choir.”

The Inochi Orchestra will bring the 25-minute art film LIFE®︎ Inochi—screened at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai—to life as a live performance integrating film and music in collaboration with orchestras and artists from around the world, creating opportunities for people to reconnect with the origin of Inochi. The Inochi Choir is more than a group that simply rehearses and performs songs. Its members watch LIFE®︎ Inochi together, reflect on the meaning of Inochi, and listen to the quiet voices within their own hearts—voices often buried under the busyness of daily life. By sharing these resonances with others, they come to feel each other’s existence as Inochi and to cultivate a spirit of cherishing life. Each person’s inner voice merges with the lyrics of INOCHI, deepening their understanding of its profound meaning.

The resulting harmonies are not just songs—they are messages of Inochi that reach straight into the depths of the listener’s heart.

Together with diverse artists, the Inochi Forum will to listen deeply to the resonance of Inochi, share and celebrate its preciousness, and expand the circle of empathy—sparking waves of resonance that reach across the world. We believe with conviction that each action we take can enrich and transform hearts, foster enduring respect across generations and borders, and help bring forth a world in which humanity cherishes this planet as its own.
