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.
Let’s make lots of fun episodes again this year!
When you’re together, before you know it you’ve made a bunch of memories you can laugh about…
Don’t you have a friend you can naturally get excited with like that, too? I’m sure the people around you are sharing in the laughter as well, not just the two of you.
If the fun times you have together can make those around you smile, isn’t that wonderful? In the new year, keep cranking out funny stories and whip up a whirlwind of laughter with your friends!
Let’s make this year another one where we laugh together over silly things!
As we grow older, the number of people we can chat with about trivial things tends to decrease.
That’s why the friends we can talk to about silly, insignificant matters are all the more precious.
How about adding this message to your New Year’s card? It’s a line you can write precisely because we’re so comfortable with each other, and it conveys how much you enjoy those small, simple moments.
Let’s keep this rare and wonderful relationship—where we can talk about anything, even the silly stuff—going for a long time to come.
All set to mess things up again this year!
It’s a perfect message to send on New Year’s cards to friends and close buddies.
The word yarakasu (“to mess up”) feels friendly, so it comes across positively and with a good dose of humor.
Adding a closing line like “I look forward to your continued support this year” will help tie the whole message together.
When sending to a boss or someone senior, it’s best to adjust the wording to something more polite, such as using “challenge” or “be proactive.” Add a phrase that reflects your personality to your New Year’s card and ring in a wonderful New Year.
This year as well—moving forward gently, but surely!
If you want to move forward, you need to make an effort, right? Everyone knows that, but I think the amount and pace of effort differ from person to person.
This phrase is a message that gently gives you a push while understanding those feelings.
For someone who’s trying hard but not getting results, it can be a heartwarming encouragement.
It can also make you feel like, even little by little, maybe I’ll try something new.
It’s a wonderful line that has a positive effect on anyone.
