Company Anthem
Giving greater happiness to a greater number of people through ”beauty and health”
Guided by this management philosophy, our entire group has strived since our founding in 1931 to serve a greater number of people and contribute to society both in Japan and worldwide.
Over our 85-year history, we have faced many challenges, but we have achieved steady growth thanks to the support of our valued partners and the dedication of our employees, past and present.
The anthem, "COSFA - Like the Sun," reflects the culmination of extensive discussions between Kohmi Hirose and our team.
As the lyrics convey, we will continue to cherish our bonds, pass on this spirit to future generations, and adapt and innovate in response to the accelerating pace of change.
We appreciate your ongoing support and encouragement.

COSFA — Like the Sun
Lyrics & Music: Kohmi Hirose
Through stormy seas and heavy rain,
I walked on, holding back my frustration—
That journey is proof of who I am.
A long road stretches ahead, with endless dreams beyond.
And I have you, who believes in me—
That is my pride.
That shining sun—
How many prayers gave birth to its light?
Your single tear glimmers in the night sky—
I see it.
You walk on, head held high, so it won’t fall.
Your single bead of sweat becomes a bridge to tomorrow.
In this way, we radiate hope,
Dreaming of the future, connecting generations,
And living on together, endlessly.
I will protect your smile—
To ensure it never fades.
That is my mission.
That moonlight—
How many eyes has it quietly spoken to?
Until the day my grand dream comes true—
You’ve seen me,
Worn down, overwhelmed by sorrow.
From now on, I dedicate this life to you.
In this way, we radiate hope,
Dreaming of the future, connecting generations,
And living on together, endlessly.
Your single tear glimmers in the night sky—
I see it.
You walk on, head held high, so it won’t fall.
Your single bead of sweat becomes a bridge to tomorrow.
In this way, we radiate hope,
Dreaming of the future, connecting generations,
And living on together, endlessly.
We will walk together, forever.
