■ 3 New Experiences for Parents and Children
1. Minato Kurumi's "Fluffy Mode" Supports! Experience to Unleash Children's Creativity
No specialized music knowledge or instrument experience is required. During the experience, Minato Kurumi's fluffy mode, appearing on the screen, gently navigates. By freely editing elements such as "voice," "sound," and "music" that feel pleasant using a game controller, AI synthesizes singing voices in real-time. It is also recommended as an entry point for new "STEAM education (*)" that nurtures children's sensibilities while exposing them to the latest technology.
* A cross-curricular educational method that integrates five fields: Science (S), Technology (T), Engineering (E), Arts (A), and Mathematics (M) to cultivate problem-solving skills and creativity in real society.

2. Real-time Support from Smartphones! Participatory System for Family Fun
The music production experience is for one person, but those waiting can cheer with stamps and other reactions in real-time towards the screen from their smartphones. This allows digital experiences, which tend to be solitary, to be enjoyed and enlivened by family and everyone cheering together.

3. Completed Songs Released to the World! Debut as a "Producer"

■ 3,500 Interactions Recorded in 2 Days. The Forefront of "Civic Tech" in Local Culture x AI
The "Minato Kurumi" project attracted attention at the "YOXO FESTIVAL 2026" exhibition in February 2026, where 174 original Yokohama City Songs were uploaded in just two days, and the number of AI interactions recorded 3,500 exchanges. This project, which redefines the "Yokohama City Song," an identity of Yokohama citizens, as "our music" with the power of AI, is attracting attention as a successful model of "civic tech" that connects local culture to the next generation through technology. Based on the previous response, this exhibition further updates "multi-generational participation" and "information dissemination power."
