The Launch of the 'Mirai Human Washing Machine'
On January 22nd, Takara Leben Inc. proudly introduced the 'Mirai Human Washing Machine' at the Leben Salon Ikebukuro in Toshima, Tokyo. This futuristic content is part of the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 Health Pavilion and aims to revolutionize personal care. The launch event was graced by notable guests, including singer and actress Miki Fujimoto and comedian Tomoharu Shoji, providing an engaging experience for attendees.
The event commenced with remarks from Akisawa Shoichi, the Representative Director of Takara Leben, who highlighted the tremendous success and interest the 'Mirai Human Washing Machine' garnered at last year’s Osaka-Kansai Expo. He expressed excitement about being able to share this innovative technology with a broader audience at Leben Salon Ikebukuro. Shoichi explained, "The features of this machine align with our LEBEN series, introduced in 2008 as part of the Ruick Project, showcasing the same advanced functionalities. Hence, it was essential to have Mr. Shoji experience it first-hand."
In addition, Aoyama Yasuaki, the Chairman of Science Holdings Inc., shared the positive response from over 1,300 participants who experienced the machine during the expo. "We are thrilled to offer this experience to the general public, contributing to new value creation in home living and healthcare," he stated, reflecting on the collaboration between Takara Leben and Science Holdings.
Miki Fujimoto expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "I’ve seen the 'Mirai' commercials showcasing its ability to cleanse the skin gently, which is quite impressive. It’s wonderful that purified water flows from all taps in the house, making it convenient and economical. I am envious that in my home, purified water is only available in the kitchen. It’s reassuring to have safe drinking water anywhere!"
Tomoharu Shoji, who had a chance to use the machine, couldn’t contain his excitement; he exclaimed, "It was fantastic! My skin felt incredibly smooth without any harm. The mist was warm and super comfortable, truly refreshing during my relaxation time. It targeted my pores beautifully!"
