-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What definitely breaks down the wall of obstacles
that hinders our advancement towards victory is:
the strong determination we make right now to win,
the actions that we take from right now
and the momentum that we ourselves create by taking the initiative.
Let's all live out our lives by fulfilling our noble missions for kosen-rufu!
