Gesture & etiquette
This is a written (email) communication. Send promptly after deal confirmation. Keep the email warm but concise — one paragraph of gratitude, one commitment statement. If a superior reviewed and approved the contract, CC them on this thank-you email. Follow up with a kickoff meeting request in the same email or a separate one sent immediately after.
The phrase 'seiiccupai tsutomete mairimasu' (we will work with all our effort / do our absolute best) is the standard professional commitment phrase after a contract is signed. It uses the humble 'mairu' and signals dedicated effort. Sending this email within the same business day as the contract signing is considered a mark of professionalism in Japanese business relationships.
