to celebrate the start of a new year
新年の始まりを祝う (shinnen no hajimari wo iwau)
"We gathered downtown to ring in the new year together."
"私たちは新年を迎えるためにダウンタウンに集まりました。" (Watashitachi wa issho ni shinnen wo mukaeru tame ni daun-taun ni atsumarimashita.)
Continue your efforts even when facing challenges.
someone told me something secretly
to act in an honest and open manner
secretly; in a sneaky way
the truth will eventually be revealed
to pause and calm down before reacting in anger
