The "OTOMIC Lab. vol. 2" was planned and produced by the general incorporated association IROHAMO in collaboration with the music workshop artist Otomikku, and held a total of four roundtable music workshops, one participatory concert, and one debriefing session with people with disabilities, experts, and people related to cultural facilities. Yuichiro Nagatsu, Asako Hirokawa, Nobuhiko Okazaki, Ayaji Nakagawa, Sakiko Muto, Yohei Iwanaga, and Masafumi Kishimoto were invited to participate in the roundtable and workshop, and discussed various aspects of intellectual disability, deafness, and accessibility.
