Kosen-rufu is a struggle waged
with words.
If we don’t engage in conversation,
we can’t convey the truth.
Now, more than ever, let’s speak
words of conviction that reach
our friends’ hearts.

Win over yourself of yesterday!
It is through this ceaseless effort
that we undergo our human revolution.
Let’s manifest an indomitable spirit
with absolute determination not to
be defeated!

Especially when you are in
a hurry, remind yourself
to place utmost priority
on safety.
Stop yourself from being

impatient.
Determined to yourself,
“I will never cause an accident!”
and strive forth with powerful
prayer!

The youth, with their courage
and wisdom, are the force that

so that they can wholeheartedly
engage themselves in activities.
Let’s strive together toward a
hope-filled future!

surmounting difficulties.
No matter what obstacles we may
encounter, let’s face them
head on with strong prayer,
absolutely determined not to
be defeated.
Then the way forward will open
without fail.
