Japanese term or phrase: 活躍を楽しみにしていてください
This appeared as "私たちのこれからの活躍を楽しみにしていてください"

This is from an interview. This phrase is common in Japanese, but I don't know there is an equivalent one in English.

Suggestions of phrase which doesn't mean exactly the same ,but sounds good at the end of an interview asking further supports are also appreciated.

My guess is "please give further support to our future activities". But I want something more friendly.

Thank you for your help.

You are welcome, Remi-san.

I guess there's no "right" translation when it comes to conversation...

Explanation:
While the Japanese is clearly asking for (continued) support or at least interest in their future activities, there's a less direct way of asking for this support in English that you might find more friendly - here's a few variants depending on your more specific context:

"We hope to keep you interested in our future work/activities."

"We hope to count you among those interested in our future activities."

"We hope to have your (continued) support with our future activities."

"We hope to continue enjoying your support with our future activities."

Just some ideas... have a great day!

I know how difficult it is to find appropriate equivalents of Japanese greetings, almost in any other European language!!!!

10 hrs
  -> Thanks! I know a Japanese person would typically say, “We would appreciate your continuing support,” and such, but the original doesn’t. The original is kind of sassy and confident, so I wanted to convey the mood.
