Fun online too! Cocone Summer Festival Report!
※This article is machine translated.
Hello everyone, this is Haru, a recruiting and public relations intern.
I am not a big fan of summer, but there is one thing I look forward to every year.
The festival is a festival!
However, I had given up on the idea of going away this year, but to my surprise, I learned that Cocone holds an in-house summer festival every year.
Summer Festival at the Company…… sounds strange, but it is an event that is unique to Cocone, which values human interaction within the company and a physical and mental experience of the changing seasons!
So, this is a report on the summer festival held on August 6!
The dress code was (preferably) yukata! The company was more glamorous than usual, which was a real eye-opener.
So far, so good, but this year they are also offering a live broadcast of the festivities and activities that you can participate in online.
Summer festivals online at work: ……! It is finally getting confusing. This is going to be a big highlight for us as it is a new initiative!
Arriving in front of the venue on the 3rd floor, you can already smell the delicious aroma.
Today’s lunch at the deli is also a special edition, with food that really looks like it’s served at a summer festival stall!
It is no exaggeration to say that Ramune chilled in ice water is the true Ramune. It seems that even those of us who are looking at it can become chilled.
Yakisoba and Takoyaki are the most popular food at summer festivals! I will admit that there are many who disagree with me!
There were many other menu items available, including curry, chocolate bananas, hatg, and more. ……
In the style of the festival(?), the employees were eating standing up. The employees were standing and eating their food in accordance with the festival style (?). Their smiles were dazzling!
Of course, it’s not only food, but also fun!
Ring toss, it’s pretty difficult. …… Every once in a while, a person who was very good at it appeared and excited the place.
Water balloon fishing is held in a cool pool on the balcony. Concentrate on not tearing off the paper twine!
Let’s protect Lively by defeating the monster that is …… the bottle with water! The concept of bowling is to defeat the monsters and protect LIVELY! The balls are sterilized to prevent infection!
I tried my hand at it for the cute Lively and her friends. I’ll take your criticisms about how to throw them.
We defeated them with flying colors and received prizes! (It is a secret that I was allowed to try again several times as a favor.)
This is another festival staple, Senbon Fishing, where you can choose one of the strings from No. 1 to No. 10, reel it in, and get the bag tied at the end of it! The prizes in the bags vary from sweets to stationery.
And this is also the highlight of this year’s event, an activity that can also be entered online!
In this system, you enter a room where the summer festival is being broadcast live, send the number of the string you want to pull via chat, and a staff member will pull it for you.
The prizes drawn by the online participants will be shown off in a big way, with more and more puffing and puffing through the camera, and will be stored and mailed with a sticky note attached to it.
It’s not enough to just watch the event online, you have to be able to participate in the event yourself. …… is a great way to enjoy the event to the fullest!
When we spoke with concierge Mr. Furuki about this initiative, he told us that the main reason for incorporating this online component was because “in the world and in Cocone, coming to work itself has become an irregularity.
Because you are not seeing your peers for long periods of time, your internal connections are becoming increasingly tenuous. ……
To begin with, Cocone’s in-house events have been held with the aim of deepening the bonds among colleagues by providing a regular opportunity for everyone to share what makes them happy and joyful.
In other words, it is at times like this that such events are needed! This is why we need these events!
However, now that it has become difficult to do things the same way as before, how can we share our hearts with those who are not here? The result of this thought led to the online live webcast of Senbon Fishing.
The interaction between the camera and the screen, realistically speaking, is naturally a long way between the two, but “Congratulations!” for winning a prize in the online Senbon Fishing! I did it! I think there was a sense of togetherness that transcended the physical distance between us, not unlike the moment when someone in front of us cheers when he or she catches a water balloon.
The world is still threatened by the coronavirus ……, but rather than succumbing to it, we will continue to hold future Cocone events as much as we can and as much as we can find a way to make them enjoyable for everyone in the company. I will enjoy it to the fullest!
We will continue to introduce Cocone’s efforts in the next issue, which we hope you will tell us about!
