Comment from Music Producer Akira Senju: "The Pasona Group pavilion will have a variety of sounds. The sound of the earth, the sound of life, the sound of space, the sound of the future, and music. I will aim for a coexistence of all sounds, and to express the "NATUREVERSE" in the world of sound. I hope to produce music and audio that connects people to nature throughout all zones in the pavilion."

Concept
Pasona Group's job is to harness the potential of the individual. We aim to help build a society in which everyone can flourish in good health and vibrance.
“Thank You, Life.”
We want to create a world where life is respected; a world enveloped in gratitude for life, from children to the elderly, among all people across the world.
Our society is a part of the natural world, and humanity's continued existence is thanks to nature. However, at some point, we began to take nature for granted. Have we forgotten to be grateful?
Giving thanks to each other, to the rich blessings bestowed upon humanity by nature, and for the fact that we are alive right now. We want to create a new world in which these expressions of thanks resonate and are passed down to the next generation.
We hope that many people from all over the world will visit our pavilion and become creators of a future in which reverberates with gratitude, and work together with us to create the "NATUREVERSE" (Nature x Universe). This is the hope of Pasona Group.
