Attention to the Unseen is Essential

The Kyowa Kirin Group positions the safe use of pharmaceuticals as its most important mission. With its overwhelming antibody drug manufacturing technology, it is equipped with the world's most advanced antibody drug substance production facilities, achieving high-quality and high-efficiency production.

Achieving High-Quality, High-Efficiency Production—This is not as simple as it sounds. It involves developing formulation technology with production in mind and devising production processes that prioritize efficiency. All of this is built upon a safe and stable environment, free from bacteria and dust. Large-scale production is made possible by the dynamic operations that are constantly maintained with meticulous care.

The theme for the fourth installment of "10 SOUNDS OF LIFE SCIENCE" is "Manufacturing Technology." The featured artist is electronic musician JEMAPUR. His musical style, which incorporates elements of industrial music, seems to have a strong affinity with the production processes taking place in Kyowa Kirin's vast factories. JEMAPUR visited the production sites to capture the mechanical sounds that would become the source material for his music. What kind of sound will he present?





The track is titled "Microprocess." By listening closely to faint sounds, sampling them, and then expanding and connecting them through his unique process, JEMAPUR creates music with infinite possibilities. Encountering this new sound that liberates the imagination, he has brilliantly extracted the essence of "Manufacturing Technology." This audio track is available for streaming on SoundCloud and for download for a limited period of one month.
