Phrase[edit]

明(あ)けましておめでとうございます • (akemashite omedetō gozaimasu) 

  1. Happy New Year
    明(あ)けましておめでとうございます。今年(ことし)もどうぞよろしく。
    Akemashite omedetō gozaimasu. Kotoshi mo dōzo yoroshiku.
    Happy New Year. We’ll be counting on you this year as well.

Usage notes[edit]

The phrase should not be used before the new year has begun. It is often followed by another expression:

今年(ことし)もよろしくお願(ねが)いします。 ― Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegai shimasu. ― I hope to see you again this year.

Other variations exist, however, this expression is used to ask for a continuation of a good relationship for the next year.
