How to Say ‘Thank you for your continued support.’ in Japanese
お世話になっております。
o sewa ni natsu te ori masu
[oh seh-WAH nee nat te OH-ree mahs]
🇯🇵 In Japan: This is the standard opening on almost every business call or email, said even to someone you've never dealt with before. It works more like "hello" between companies than a literal thank-you, and skipping it sounds abrupt.
