Nobuta Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Nobuhiro Nobuta; URL: https://www.nobuta123.co.jp), a comprehensive entertainment business, welcomed the comedy duo 'Katsumi❤︎Sayuri' as surprise guests at its entrance ceremony held on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. We are pleased to report on the event, where a tense atmosphere was instantly transformed into smiles.

An entrance ceremony filled with laughter and smiles

Background and a Look at the Modern Entrance Ceremony in 'Numbers'

In recent years, a survey on the level of tension on the first day of work revealed that approximately 91.8% of new employees feel 'extreme tension and anxiety' (Mynavi's 2025-2026 Analysis of New Employee Mindsets).

Furthermore, the 'communication gap' between the management layer born around 1979 (the 'Ice Age' generation) and new employees born in the 2000s (Gen Z) has become a recognized issue.

Based on this, our company believed that the attitude of 'Katsumi❤︎Sayuri,' who have overcome numerous adversities with incredible brightness, is the 'strongest career education' we could offer our new employees. Thus, we secretly proceeded with this surprise plan for the entrance ceremony.

At the Event: A 'Bo-yo-yo~n!' Echoes Through the Silent Hall

Following the solemn address by the President & CEO, music suddenly filled the venue, and 'Katsumi❤︎Sayuri' appeared from the back of the guest seating. As the duo ran through the aisles waving their hands, passing by new employees who were frozen in astonishment, the venue erupted in a storm of laughter.

New employees were seen laughing and nodding along to Katsumi's passionate stories about the importance of continuing to challenge oneself without fear of failure, and to Sayuri's message on the strength of always keeping a smile.

Comments from New Employees

'I had been so nervous and anxious that my hands wouldn't stop sweating, but thanks to the energy they gave me, all my worries are gone, and now I feel like I can take on anything!'

~A gift for the first day of a professional career: the indomitable spirit to 'turn adversity into laughter'~

The surprise event concluded as a great success.
