On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, Tanseisha held a joint entrance ceremony and President's Award ceremony for its seven group companies, featuring special Spatial Production to commemorate its 80th anniversary this year.
The event was held at "TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO" (Koto-ku, Tokyo), the home arena of "Alvark Tokyo," a team with whom we have an official partnership (gold partner) agreement for the 2025-26 season. This was a large-scale project in which our company handled the creation of hospitality areas and other spaces. We held this special event at this facility so that attendees could actually experience the real-world spaces we have created and realize their value and importance.
On that day, 60 new employees joining the four group companies, along with the presidents of each group company, the Award (2 teams and 2 individuals), and other employees gathered together. They viewed the space they had helped create as a "starting place" for their new colleagues, the new employees, and passed the baton to the next generation.

They shared the struggles and joys behind the scenes of how this overwhelming entertainment complex was created, conveying the true appeal of working in space design to the new employees.
3. Part 2: President's Award Ceremony "TAKE THE BATON - The Inherited Challenge -"
We held a President's Award ceremony to recognize individuals and teams who achieved outstanding results in the first half of the year. The ceremony proceeded with a lively exchange between a storyteller and the award-winning employees, incorporating pre-event Video, and revealing the stories behind the project successes and the passionate feelings behind them.
This award ceremony celebrates the "values" embodied by the award recipients, and also aims to foster a deep understanding of those values among all participants, encouraging them to use this understanding as energy for their next challenges. Therefore, Spatial Production went beyond simply announcing the results, delving into the "process" that led to those results. The goal is to help new employees and other employees empathize with the recipients and more easily envision their own future. To embody this sentiment, the award recipients signed a special document called a "Value Record" along with their certificate of commendation, as proof that the values they cherish will be preserved for the future.
After the award-winning employees shared their insights into the essence of professional work, four new employee representatives stood before a large screen and powerfully declared their thoughts and aspirations. The "baton" passed on from their seniors was handed over to the next generation with unwavering determination.
