A hundred flowers in full bloom

The visual appeal of a slogan really matters, doesn’t it? That’s why I’d like to introduce the phrase “Hyakka Ryoran,” which depicts a beautiful scene where a great variety of flowers are in full bloom.

It’s also used to describe a gathering of people with diverse talents, so it can help classmates with different strengths recognize and respect one another, deepening their bonds.

Precisely because it expresses cooperation in a simple way, the message comes through directly.

a miraculous comeback

[Kishi Kaisei] The meaning and example sentences of this four-character idiom @ KeroKero Dictionary ◆ Just 1 minute in a video! Easy to remember♪

These words express the act of getting back up even in the ultimate pinch—when you feel you can’t go on or stand up again.

There have been, and will be, many moments in life when you think, “This is impossible.

I can’t handle it.

I’m going to lose.” If you give up there, nothing about your situation will change, and it may even get worse.

If you’re someone who quickly gives up or throws in the towel with a “I’m done,” remember these words and try shifting your mindset to, “Let me try one more time.”

lightning speed

[Japanese Language] The Meaning and Memorization of the Four-Character Idiom “Denkō Sekka” (Lightning Speed)

Denko-sekka is a four-character idiom that represents things that move quickly, such as lightning flashes or the sparks struck from stone.

It’s read as “denkō sekka.” Many sports demand quickness, so using this phrase can help you focus on agile movement.

While it expresses smooth, rapid motion, the characters for thunder and fire also convey an unyielding will and a sense of strength.

Precisely because the phrase is simple, its embedded power and speed come through clearly.

to devote oneself body and soul; to make every possible effort; with utmost dedication

[Konkokusai-shin] Meaning and example sentences of this four-character idiom @ Kerokero Dictionary ◆ Just 1 minute in a video! Memorable♪

Funkotsu-saishin is a four-character idiom meaning to devote oneself with absolute, full effort, pronounced “funkotsu-saishin.” Put more plainly, it depicts “bones ground to powder and the body shattered,” expressing that level of determination.

A near-synonym is “zenshin-zenrei” (with one’s whole body and soul), but funkotsu-saishin gives a cooler, more striking impression, so why not adopt it as a slogan? It’s also handy because it’s easy to use in conjugated forms like “to do funkotsu-saishin” (to devote oneself completely).

It would be perfect when you want to give a greeting or address that includes a slogan.

harmonious unity and cooperative effort

Harmony and cooperation #Shorts #four-character idiom #proverb

At facility events and recreational activities, there are also things done in small groups, aren’t there? They often lead to increased communication, allowing you to talk with people who don’t usually converse much.

And activities where teams compete let everyone gain experience working together.

This phrase expresses that idea of a team uniting and cooperating as one.

It might even make a good slogan for a sports day.

In a cheerful, friendly atmosphere, it’s wonderful to see older adults smiling as they work hard with many others toward a common goal.
