Misled in Translation

Since I first found months and months ago I’ve been in love with this sign. It reads

“K” Samothrace Guardian
KSG
Still young beautiful day’s. So many men,So many minds. We are rough diamond, we are NO.1

While there’s the obvious attempt at using the “diamond in the rough” cliché, I still have no idea what any of it really means to this day (maybe a publication?). Samothrace is a Greek Island, it is also figures into the name of the famous Winged Victory of Samothrace statue. But none of that information squares away what it has to do with Japan, rough diamonds, of beautiful days, or men’s minds. However I do feel vaguely inspired by it. Go KSG!!!
