Kongo tomo douzo yoroshiku onegai itashimasu
I look forward to your continued support
Significado
A very polite and formal phrase used to express hope for continued good relations or support.
Contexto cultural
In Japan, the end of a project is not the end of a relationship. This phrase ensures the 'door is left open' for future business, which is vital in a culture that prizes 'Giri' (obligation). The phrase is part of 'Aisatsu' (greetings), which are considered more about social lubrication than conveying new information. Japanese people send 'Nengajo' (postcards) to everyone they know. This phrase is the standard way to maintain those hundreds of connections once a year. High-end Ryokans (inns) use this to tell guests they are always welcome back, emphasizing a bond that transcends a single stay.
The Bow Factor
Always bow when saying this in person. A 15 to 30-degree bow makes the phrase 100% more authentic.
Don't Overuse
If you say this every time you see a colleague in the hallway, it becomes weird. Save it for the 'closings' of interactions.
