We share the image of the word "merry" in "Merry Christmas" with vast numbers of people in other countries.
However, the English word "merry" cannot be replaced with one Japanese word.
Therefore I tried to express it using many Japanese words.
It's close to "love" and "peace," and all the same, it's new.

May the world "merry!"
