New Year’s Greetings
New Year’s Message 2026
Happy New Year.
In 2025, the Cocone Group navigated a year of significant transformation. Following a global organizational realignment, our offices in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Seoul, Shanghai, New York, and London came together as One Global Team. It was also a year in which we reaffirmed our strength and readiness to compete on the global stage.
In 2026, what we aim to create is not merely a place where many people gather. Rather, it is a place where each individual around the world can freely express and unleash their own unique sensibilities.
Until now, online services have evolved primarily as places that connect people, offer convenience, and enable the consumption of content. Today, the digital world is gradually coming to be seen as more than a place for connection, becoming a space where people spend part of their everyday lives.
It is a space where one can encounter another self, or perhaps a more expansive version of oneself. For each individual user, experiences in the digital world represent an encounter with a new sense of self and identity, the formation of new relationships, and the opening of a new horizon.
Our mission at the Cocone Group is to create this world, give it form, and continue to evolve it by embracing the diverse sensibilities and needs of our users.
As the era of AI advances toward AGI, the momentum of AI will continue to accelerate. At the same time, human sensibility is also expected to grow broader and deeper. Alongside this transformation, our focus lies in exploring what human sensibility means in the age of AI, and in creating places and experiences that support its evolution and richness.
United as one group, we will continue to move forward together, delivering services from our global locations that enrich each individual’s presence and help foster a digital world that serves as a warm and welcoming place to belong.
We look forward to your continued support in the coming year.
One Team, One Journey, One Future.
