Hurrah for the triumphant songs of the people ringing out (across Japan)! I'd like to express my utmost appreciation, from the bottom of my heart, to all of our great noble fellow members who made these successive victories happen one after another! Now, let's strive, more than ever, to develop trust with the people around us and make the blossoms of good fortune and benefit abound in our local community!
