-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The unity and teamwork between the leaders and their assistant leaders
is the key to our successful development and victorious achievements.
Always having harmonious unity with the spirit that we are
all different but have the same mind towards achieving
kosen-rufu,*
let's inspire all of our fellow members with hope and
warm encouragement!

present and the future."
