To our dear friends
in the Hokuriku* region,
the wellspring of the shared commitment
the wellspring of the shared commitment
of mentor and disciple,

to speak out for the cause
of justice and truth!
For those who live out their lives
For those who live out their lives
fulfilling their vow,
immeasurable boundless strength
immeasurable boundless strength
gushes forth from within.
