Happy New Year
Happy New Year
The original title of this work is あけおめ (akeome), is an abbreviation of "明けましておめでとうございます" (Ake mashite omedetou gozaimasu) which means "Happy New Year" in japanese. The description is ことよろ (kotoyoro), which is an abbreviation of "今年もよろしくお願いいたします" (Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegai itashimasu) which also means "Happy New Year" in japanese". Both abbreviations are very informal ways of saying "Happy New Year".
