dear friends; you all; those men
Archaic or literary term of address for a group of male friends or companions, often used in classical Chinese or old Japanese texts. In modern Japanese, it is largely replaced by expressions like 皆さん or 諸君.
In old Chinese poems, one can find expressions addressing 'dear friends' as 諸兄.
ladies and gentlemen; everyone
From Chinese 諸兄 (zhūxiōng), literally 'various elder brothers', used as a respectful term of address for male friends. The exact historical derivation in Japanese is uncertain, but it entered through classical Chinese literature.
