Let’s make lots of fun memories together!
Time spent with your dearest friends is truly irreplaceable, isn’t it? How about adding this message to your New Year’s card? Simply being together creates wonderful memories, but if the two of you discover something fun to share, I’m sure it will become an even more amazing time.
It might even turn into an unforgettable memory of a lifetime.
As you imagine those special moments with your friends, try writing a message.
From that very moment, your joyful and fulfilling days will begin.
This year, I’m going to get a score that won’t be a shocking surprise on the test!
What kind of score did you even get? Don’t tell me… a zero? It’s the kind of message that makes you curious, right? Kids who know their test scores might just laugh and go, “Ohhh, I see.” Instead of “work hard at studying” or “aim for a perfect 100,” the idea of escaping from the lowest line gets a laugh—and when you see each other in the New Year, it could spark a conversation like, “So what score were you talking about?” If you ended up with a shocking score on your end-of-term test, try sending this as your New Year’s resolution.
With a little encouragement from friends, you might just find the motivation to do your best!
My goal for this year is, for now, to just smile!
It’s a perfect short message for a New Year’s card—bright and cheerful, and it really conveys a happy feeling.
For example, adding a small everyday moment like “the time you joked around and laughed with friends during break” or “the little chuckle you had over something small in class” will make your feelings come through even more.
It naturally expresses a positive mindset of staying smiling no matter the day, so it’s a message that will make the reader smile without even realizing it.
It’s a warm and lively line that shows your wish to cherish small joys and fun moments.
This year, let’s get back up like a horse even when we fall!
Foals are able to stand about one to two hours after they are born.
It’s also said that if they fall, they often get back up quickly as long as they aren’t seriously hurt.
Like those horses, this message conveys the idea of getting back on your feet and facing forward, even if you stumble.
When studying or practicing doesn’t go well, or when you fail, it’s easy to be dragged down by negative feelings and find it hard to stand up again.
But if you can share, with your friends, the determination in these words to not be defeated by negative emotions and to keep trying, you might be able to do even better in the new year than you did in the last.
Let’s make wonderful memories together this year, too.
It’s a message you can write with excitement as you think back on fun moments with close friends.
The word “wonderful” brings to mind all kinds of memories—things you enjoyed together, times you worked hard together, and more.
I’m sure the person reading your New Year’s card will look back on those memories with a smile, just like you.
Put into this message how much fun the past year truly was, and how much you want to spend more wonderful time together in the new year!

Let’s spend wonderful time together again this year!
This message conveys a close bond and strongly expresses the wish to keep spending time together.
Seeing the words “wonderful time” brings back memories of the moments you’ve shared so far, which is lovely.
As you recall those fun times, you can think, “What should we do next?”—creating time to dream ahead.
I think you can even give the gift of those heartwarming moments.
When sending a New Year’s card to a close friend, be sure to use this message to say, “I love you!” and share how you feel.
Let’s work hard together on lots of things this year too!
Studying and sports are great to work hard at on your own, but sometimes you can perform even better when you strive together with someone else.
If you want to express the wish to take on various challenges this year by cooperating with a close friend—and sometimes competing with them—this phrase is perfect.
You might also add specific details, like wanting to tackle a weak subject together, study for junior high entrance exams to attend the same school, or team up for events like the sports day.
