-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's in our local community that the real stage of kosen-rufu exists!
Let's always be building on our friendships with the neighbours
and becoming the type of people that the neighbours can depend on and trust.
Let's also be well-known in the neighbourhood for our good natured actions.
