-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all those students who are going to take entrance examinations soon may we wish you all the very best!
Learning is what gives a light of hope in life.
Making such efforts are absolutely priceless.
We are all sincerely chanting for your good health and
the great victory of all of our very important Future Division members*
(especially in this particular season).

* Future Division members - primary and secondary school students
* A new Japanese school year starts in April and, like many places in the world, this means various types of exams in the next month or so, both nationally and individual entrance exams, in various different formats. In some cases, especially where school fees are an issue, the competition can be quite intense, even for 5 or 6 year olds entering nursery school.
