-10/26 Osaka-based entertainment event to be held 11/1 @cosme store Kansai first store opening-

Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. CCC Design Company will be carrying out a major renovation of its Osaka flagship store, "TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI," based on the TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI Minami strategy, on November 1st, and will also be opening the first @cosme store inside a TSUTAYA store in the Kansai region. Ahead of this renovation, on October 26th, the store will participate in the "OSAKA MINAMI PROJECT" event, which is being organized in collaboration with local companies and NPOs, further boosting the "Minami district," the center of Osaka culture.
While Osaka has undergone changes such as Umeda and Abeno, the Minami district has remained a bustling center for Osaka culture and a symbol of Osaka's unique character. With this renovation, we will further enhance the value of our presence as a vibrant central location in Osaka, unite with the local community, and become a store that disseminates information on entertainment and culture.

[TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI Minami Strategy]　
① "TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI" to reopen in November! @cosme store's first in Kansai!
On November 1st, our flagship store in Osaka, TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI, will be renovated as a "gateway to Minami" that brings together local information, allowing even more enjoyment for the many people who come to Minami.
In addition to Starbucks, the @cosme store, produced by @cosme, Japan's largest comprehensive cosmetics and beauty website, will open. "@cosme store" will be the first in the Kansai region.
・ With this renovation, the store will be reborn as a new meeting spot in Minami, providing essential information about the city, grooming items, and a rest area for customers heading out to Minami.

② OSAKA MINAMI PROJECT's "Osaka Autumn Campaign" event will be held on October 26th
Like TSUTAYA, since last year the company has also been involved in the "OSAKA MINAMI PROJECT," a project run by local businesses and NPOs that aim to promote the "OSAKA MINAMI" brand in order to revitalize Minami. We have held a variety of events in the past, but this fall we will be holding a large-scale event featuring notable entertainers on Sunday, October 26th, the same day as the Osaka Marathon. In connection with this "livening up Minami" activity, idols from "TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI," who were recruited in June, will also be fully launched this fall. *Details regarding the above will be provided at a later date.
