"I presented a new song, 'Youth with a Noble Vow,' to all our members, especially the youth, at the Soka Gakkai Headquarters leaders meeting in April.
"As my mentor Josei Toda said, the sight of our members singing songs resonating with fresh vigour is a sign of the Soka Gakkai's triumphant future development.
"In the song, I indicated that the Chinese characters for youth (normally read as seinen in Japanese) should be read as kimi (a familiar expression for "you") so as to refer to all of you, my dear friends and fellow members. I did this because the vow to strive together for kosen-rufu that connects you and me in a one-to-one bond is the essence of the path of mentor and disciple. Another reason is that I would like all of you to continue striving and challenging yourselves in the vibrant spirit of youth as long as you live."
SGI Newsletter No. 9071, The Song of Human Victory, To You, My Youthful Friends, Who Share a Noble Vow, from 11th July, 2014, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 26th Aug. 2014
