Greetings fellow Young Researchers from Asia!

This year marks the 13th anniversary of the Science Castle, which began near Osaka Castle in 2012.

Science Castle Japan 2025 will be held as the Japan Domestic Conference in Science Castle 2025 to be held in Southeast Asia and Japan. The conference will create a "super high school-level research community" consisting of 12 oral presentations and 80 posters. Selected oral presenters will have the opportunity to discuss and receive advice on their research activities and presentations at the conference by the Science Bridge Communicators at RIVANES, while making horizontal connections with other presenters in a group seminar format (online). The oral presenters will have the opportunity to discuss and receive advice on their research activities and presentations at the conference while making horizontal connections with other presenters in a group seminar format (online). The day of the conference will also be an opportunity for all presenters to gain new hints on how to take their research a step further through presentations with young researchers and partner companies, etc., who will be responsible for research coaching. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to accelerate your research by participating in the conference from all over Japan. We look forward to receiving many abstract submissions and participating in the conference.

The venue for the conference is provided by the Faculty of Systems Science and Engineering, Faculty of Environmental and Urban Engineering, and Faculty of Chemistry and Biotechnology, Kansai University.

Lecture Title

Enjoyment of "sound" from chorus of frogs to visualization of conversation and bustle

I founded Hi-Lable with the mission of "enriching communication through sound environment analysis." We are engaged in the business of visualizing group work in school classes and corporate training programs, and visualizing the liveliness of various spaces such as offices, exhibitions, and parks. Hi-Lable's business has its roots in my university research on frog choruses. In my presentation, I will introduce the technology of Hi-Lable, how I came up with the idea of human conversation from frog chorus research, and the fascination of researching "sound".
