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.
