-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's shower our Future Division members (primary and secondary school students),
our priceless treasures,
with ten thousand waves of encouragement!
Every single one of them is indeed a great capable individual
who will carry on the noble task of achieving kosen-rufu.
Let's encourage these young people by constantly praising them
so that they can fully develop their boundless strengths and abilities.
