In this random and unpredictable world, it’s not always rainbows and butterflies. Some days are better than others. And on some days, we need our own cheerleader(s) who’d be able to motivate us and shine a light on our otherwise unpleasant days. Cheering on someone, even with phrases as simple as “You did well” or “You can do it”, can make their day and change their frame of mind. You’d be amazed by how powerful your cheer words are in making someone put a smile on their face.
Now, if you have Japanese friends who are having one of those days or are going through something, we have compiled a list of the most common Japanese Phrase on how to cheer someone up, how to cheer someone up over text in Japanese, as well as quotes to cheer someone up when they are stressed.
