A staggering 1390 individuals have set a new world record by forming 'Human Characters' during an entrance ceremony of a well-known Japanese company. Being a unique Japanese custom to mark the recruitment of new hires in the spring, this unprecedented attempt aimed to foster company unity and teamwork. The event was designed both to celebrate the fresh recruits and to attract global attention.

In Japan, culture highly values unity, harmony, and shared effort within organisations and companies. Entrance Ceremonies, held in the spring, are a common tradition where new recruits are officially welcomed to the company. Such a large-scale human formation event is intriguing, serving as a symbol of the company's commitment to its employees and society, presenting an image of unity and shared purpose.

In contrast, such grand ceremonies are less common in the US or EU. New hires might typically go through induction or orientation sessions. This difference reflects cultural variations in the workplace between East and West. Whereas Japanese companies place a high emphasis on team unity and collective identity, Western companies are more likely to emphasise individual ambition and personal achievements.
