I especially like Fujitsu's, which seems to be completely without irony:
Let's run out now, to greener fields, where shines a splendid Sun. We have a dream, a wondrous dream, that gets the best things done. A wide blue sky is in our heart now, Open-ness in our soul, We'll run together going onwards now, On towards our goal.
con�cern 4. A business establishment or enterprise; a firm.

It sounds rather stilted and overformal, and that's how Americans tend to see the Japanese.
I think Mr. Burns even uses it once to refer to his own power plant, when he goes into Skinner's office. "Hey-ho there, dean! You know, me and my fourth-form chums think it would be quite corking if you donated the money to the local energy concern."
