-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's stay absolutely accident free during this friendship week.*
At the same time we need to make sure to lock things up
and pay the closest attention to fire prevention,
every time we go out!
Let's always remind ourselves that carelessness
or overconfidence is our greatest enemy.

*In Japan, from the end of April to the beginning of May, there are several holidays containing four public holidays and it is known as "Golden Week." This period is often used as an opportunity to meet friends, relatives, etc.
