Company anthems are fascinating! Introducing the unique company songs of Japanese firms (11–20)
This dream is the futurepanasonikku
Panasonic is a world-renowned electronics manufacturer that started as Konosuke Matsushita’s Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.
The company’s aspirations for a better future are embodied in the song “Kono Yume ga Mirai” (“This Dream Is the Future”).
Created in 2008, the year the company name was changed to Panasonic Corporation, the song boasts lyrics by Yukinojo Mori and music by Joe Hisaishi.
Set to a grand orchestral sound, it expresses the desire to honor history while striving for a better future.
I, Saison.Kuredi Sezon Gurūpu
Here is the Credit Saison Group’s theme song, which won the Grand Prize at the 2nd NIKKEI National Company Song Contest in 2021.
It’s performed by Higashi-Ikebukuro 52, a group formed by 24 female members selected from employees of Credit Saison and its affiliated companies, whose headquarters are located in Sunshine 60 in Higashi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
In this day and age, even after joining as regular employees, people end up doing all sorts of things, don’t they? The music video features many employees as well, conveying a great atmosphere.
It’s clearly been successful in enhancing the company’s image.
Harmony of CoexistenceKiyanon Kabushiki Gaisha
This company song, notable for its march-like style, is performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus.
The lyrics were written by Keisuke Yamakawa, known for “The Season the Sun Gave Us” and “Lullaby of the Virgin,” and the music was composed by Norio Maeda.
Although it sounds like a traditional company anthem, it was actually created relatively recently.
Before that, a piece composed by Kitaro titled “hand in hand (the only earth)” was used, which tends to feel more modern.
It might be fun to compare the two.
Every day is a treasurepokapoka hoikuen
Pokapoka Nursery School is a daycare center located in Hachioji, Tokyo.
It not only supports the healthy growth of children, but also values creating an environment where the childcare staff can thrive.
The school song, “Every Day Is a Treasure,” was composed with the desire to spend energetic, joyful days together with the children.
It’s memorable for the warm atmosphere conveyed through piano and vocals, as well as its stylish development that even incorporates rap.
The part that sings about the director’s profile is also unique, powerfully expressing the wish to support working women.
Sachiko Sakura’s Song: In Search of the TruthKabushiki Gaisha Ai Ai Esu
Sakura Sachiko Detective Agency’s original song delivers a stunning blend of visuals and sound that evokes a distinctly nostalgic “this is Showa” vibe.
Even the title, “In Pursuit of the Truth,” is enough to bring a smile to your face.
As the bright, sparkling smiles roll by, the screen flashes one caption after another—“infidelity investigations,” “background checks,” “corporate investigations,” “identity inquiries”—and you can’t help but feel like you want to reach out for help with whatever’s been weighing on your mind.
It’s the kind of track that gives you positive energy: problems won’t solve themselves by worrying—maybe it’s time to get moving and seek a consultation.
Challenge to changeKabushiki Gaisha Kurimoto Tekkōsho
The title “Connected TV Drama Kurimoto-san” appears, and you can’t help but get drawn in—just like the delightful corporate song “Kurimoto-san.” Through a video and track that convey the message of Kurimoto, a company that values craftsmanship and a spirit of challenge, it fills viewers with excitement.
Hitomi Akoda, who charmingly plays Kurimoto-san—awkward yet wholeheartedly committed to taking on new things—is wonderful, too.
And the pop, catchy melody that you’ll find yourself humming after watching is outstanding!

Toward TomorrowJR Nishi-Nihon
This song is the corporate anthem of JR West.
The lyrics are by Toyohisa Araki and the music by Takao Horiuchi—a star-studded production team.
It’s performed by the JR West Brass Band, giving it a luxurious and weighty feel.
It might be fun to imagine what it would sound like if Horiuchi sang it solo.
It’s not widely known, but other JR group companies also have their own corporate anthems, and many of them are said to be excellent, so it could be enjoyable to compare them.
