Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Yasunori Takahashi; hereinafter referred to as "CCC") will celebrate its 40th anniversary on Saturday, September 20, 2025. With the vision of becoming "the world's best planning company," we have proposed new lifestyles through our "planning" and spread them as social infrastructure. Over the past 40 years, our encounters with many customers, partners, and colleagues have been the driving force behind CCC's growth and challenges. We will continue to use the power of planning to create a future that enriches culture and life together with everyone.

CEO's Message | President and CEO Yasunori Takahashi

Forty years ago, Culture Convenience Club opened a 100-story Tsutaya Bookstore in Hirakata, Osaka Prefecture, as a base for providing information on new lifestyles. That is our origin.
Since then, we have set our vision as "the world's best planning company" and have become "a company that creates cultural infrastructure.""We have taken on new challenges while keeping up with the changing times, in the entertainment field represented by books, music, and movies, point-based database marketing, public facility production such as libraries and regional revitalization, and spatial experience value production such as the renovated SHIBUYA TSUTAYA, SHARE LOUNGE, and Olive LOUNGE.
CCC will continue to make our goal of "making the world a better place through planning."

CCC continues to propose projects that bring about innovation in lifestyles as an infrastructure and platform. Each employee takes on new challenges and creates projects that connect culture to the future. We have produced a brand movie that embodies this idea.

■Employees who will shape the future
The "plans" that are born every day at the CCC Group will be the driving force behind the next era. To put this feeling into words, we interviewed seven employees active in a variety of fields, including Tsutaya Bookstore, public works, overseas business, and V POINT.
