Keep cherishing your easygoing pace this year, too.
Always keeping your own pace is harder than you might think—sometimes the surrounding circumstances can throw you off.
This message is meant to encourage you to stay true to yourself and keep your own pace without being swayed by what’s around you.
It’s not the negative kind of “going at your own pace” that means refusing to adapt to others, but the positive kind that honors a commitment to your individuality.
By affirming that staying true to yourself matters, we hope this becomes a spark for enjoying each day more.
Wishing for a year filled with lots of laughter!
Here’s a lovely message that wishes for both of us to have a fun new year.
The word “laugh” can suggest both “smiling” and “lots of joyful moments.” Sending this phrase can give the impression that the time we spend together will become even more wonderful.
It’s a short message, but it’s perfect for the start of the year, so consider writing it in your New Year’s card.
Let’s have lots of fun again this year.
With close friends, you want to play a lot and make fun memories in the new year, right? At times like that, why not write these words and honestly share how you feel! If you also add what, specifically, you’d like to do together, the conversation might really take off when you meet in the new term—like, “Let’s do that after school,” or “Let’s try going there next time.” Hopefully, this phrase added to your New Year’s card will be the start of becoming even closer with your friends.
Use it when you want to add just one more line.
I hope it will be a good year for you.
Saying “Have a good year” is a classic New Year’s card message, but here it says “for you.” I think that phrasing is a lovely touch that shows consideration for the recipient’s feelings.
It’s precisely because you know the person well that you can imagine and wish for the kind of happiness they desire.
When you want to put genuine feeling into simple, unadorned words, try sending this phrase.
It conveys how deeply you care about the other person and delivers the kindness you hold.
Wishing you a year filled with lots of smiles.
Because the word “ippai” (“a lot”) still carries a childlike feel, the message comes across as a straightforward and sincere wish.
Smiling usually happens when we’re having fun or feeling happy, after all.
It clearly conveys that you’re thinking of the other person, making it a message that brings a smile while wishing them happiness in the New Year.
Since many relatives live far away and are hard to meet, a broadly framed message like this should be easy to send to anyone.
Wishing you a gentle year where you can always wear a smile.
The more you can look back and feel that you spent a lot of time smiling, the more you can strongly feel that the year was fulfilling and happy.
This message carries a warm wish that your days be so rich and full of smiles.
Being able to smile means having a positive mindset and being kinder to others, and it encourages you to spend your days with that kind of kindness.
From the idea of always smiling, you can also feel the wish that you be gentle with yourself as well.

Thank you for always being so kind.
How about sending this message to someone who always helps you out? Even if you feel shy saying it face-to-face, it’s easier to write it as a message in a New Year’s card.
Try putting your gratitude into words.
Very few people feel bad when they’re thanked, and it will likely make them happy to know their kindness reached you.
I hope this message becomes a chance to strengthen your friendship even more.
