AI Music-Powered Well-being Program for Seniors '音会 / OTOKAI' Launches, Holds First Concert

【Overview】 Amadeus Code Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Jun Inoue, hereinafter 'Amadeus Code') held its first free concert as part of its initiative for the AI music-powered well-being program '音会 / OTOKAI'.

In Japan, as the population ages, preventing dementia, preventing the need for nursing care, eliminating social isolation, and supporting continuous social participation for the elderly have become critical social issues. On the other hand, insurance companies, municipalities, corporations, and medical institutions face the challenge of creating continuous touchpoints with their target audiences, designing enjoyable and sustainable preventive programs, and backing these initiatives with scientific evidence.

To address these issues, '音会 / OTOKAI' serves as an evidence-based well-being platform that naturally fosters experiences of 'thinking, choosing, verbalizing, and connecting with people' through music. Its key feature is that it offers an accessible and easy-to-continue musical experience for seniors while simultaneously stimulating cognitive functions and creating opportunities for interaction.

At this concert, professional musicians performed music generated by AI live, offering a new musical experience to the attendees. The goal of '音会 / OTOKAI' is not to provide a one-off listening experience, but to become a new program infrastructure that supports continuous touchpoints, preventive behaviors, and social participation for seniors. Going forward, we plan to hold the event regularly once a month and expand it to municipalities, insurance companies, medical and nursing care providers, and the corporate health and productivity management sector.

- To businesses looking to create daily touchpoints with policyholders/members outside of insurance products: As an enjoyable and continuous program, it contributes to revitalizing member touchpoints, improving LTV, and creating added value in non-insurance areas.

- To businesses seeking a new music experience platform for seniors: Rather than passive listening, it realizes a new cultural and wellness service as a participatory music experience involving comparison, selection, and dialogue.

- To businesses seeking health and productivity management / senior employment support solutions for municipalities and corporations: It can be incorporated as part of healthy life expectancy extension and active senior measures, acting as a program that supports the motivation, interaction, and cognitive activation of the elderly.

- To healthcare businesses wanting to strengthen awareness, research, and referral pathways to doctors and medical professionals: As an evidence-based program with a track record of academic publications, it provides explainability to medical professionals and can be utilized for research collaborations and building referral pathways.

【What is 音会 / OTOKAI】 '音会 / OTOKAI' is an AI-powered well-being program for seniors. Participants listen to and compare multiple pieces of music generated by AI, select the one that best suits their senses, and verbally share the reason.

By repeating this decision-making process of 'Compare -> Select -> Verbalize', it is designed to naturally draw out cognitive stimulation, particularly in the frontal lobe, which handles judgment and decision-making, all while having fun.

Additionally, conducting it in a group format naturally fosters conversation and empathy among participants, promoting social interaction and motivation to participate. It is not intended for acquiring music production skills, making its accessibility and ease of continuation a key feature.

'音会 / OTOKAI' can be deployed as a new foundation supporting: - Cognitive stimulation for dementia prevention - Frailty and isolation prevention at the pre-nursing care stage - Creating continuous touchpoints for seniors - Forming local and member communities - Well-being measures for corporations and municipalities

【A Cognitive Function Maintenance and Activation Program Based on Scientific Research】 The '音会 / OTOKAI' program is based on scientific validation.

In joint research with Dr. Masayuki Satoh of the Dementia and Neuropsychology Department at the former Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology (AIIT), and the Yamaha Music Foundation, conducting the 60-minute program once a week for 6 months resulted in a confirmed significant improvement in participants' frontal lobe function.

This study was conducted with the elderly and indicates the possibility that music generation using AI contributes to the improvement of frontal lobe function. These research results have been published in the international academic journal 'Brain and Behavior', positioning OTOKAI as a cognitive function maintenance and activation program equipped not only with enjoyment and accessibility, but also explainable evidence.

Therefore, it is expected to be utilized as a healthcare solution whose introduction effects and significance are easy to explain externally, such as in municipal nursing care prevention projects, insurance company member services, corporate health management measures, and collaboration with medical and nursing care services.

【About AI Music Technology】 Amadeus Code has developed the 'Music Trinity Generative Algorithm', a composition system based on proprietary patented technology. This technology realizes: - Music generation in just seconds - Generation of infinite music structures through massive combinations - Generation of high-quality melodies and harmonies based on music theory

Furthermore, because the copyright of the generated music is 100% owned internally, implementing corporations, municipalities, and organizations can design programs and expand content with peace of mind regarding rights clearance.

This equips '音会 / OTOKAI' with a platform nature that can be flexibly expanded beyond one-off events to continuous programs, member content, regional measures, and research applications.

【Representative's Comment】 Amadeus Code Inc. CEO Jun Inoue

"OTOKAI is a new well-being program that creates cognitive activation, social connections, and continuous participation opportunities for the elderly through AI and music. Our company has been accumulating music data and researching and developing AI music generation technology for over 10 years, and OTOKAI is the application of that technological foundation to solve social issues.

This concert served as a venue to demonstrate the possibilities of a new musical experience co-created by humans and AI, by having humans perform music generated by AI. At the same time, it was an opportunity to convey that OTOKAI is an evidence-based preventive and social participation solution that can be utilized in a wide range of fields such as insurance, municipalities, medical/nursing care, and corporate health management.

Going forward, beyond dementia prevention, we will expand into pre-nursing care prevention, creating continuous touchpoints with members, forming local communities, and collaborating with the medical and healthcare fields, pushing forward the implementation of a new social infrastructure utilizing AI music."
