＜新＞ Kanji Of the Year 2009 (833)
Dec 11th 2009 20:45
How are you doing? It was a rainy day where I am and it was cold today.
Now I've finished dinner and I'm now listening J-pop in my room.
By the way, at around 2:00PM this afternoon (about 6 hours ago), our annual kanji of the year was written by a monk at the Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.
Actually, I though this kanji would be selected because 新(new) was a suitable kanji this year. In Japan, the new leader Mr. Hatoyama was born, new political party won the election. New type of flu killed a lot of people all over the world. I guess there are many other reasons why this kanji was chosen out of thousands of kanji.
This is the airticle from Yahoo Japan.

Personally, however, my kanji of the year might be 忙 because I have been busy this year. 忙しい means busy in English.
What is your letter in 2009, by the way? If you don't mind, please let me know yours.Either Japanese one letter kanji or one letter English word will be fine!
Well, I will go out after writing this entry and replying to your comments you game me last night.
Good night from Japan!

Now I've finished dinner and I'm now listening to J-pop in my room.
Hatoyama was born, and a new political party won the election.
A new type of flu killed a lot of people all over the world.

My Kanji for 2009 would be 学 because I've been studying for the JLPT, and learning many things about the world through my university course. ^^
How are you doing? If you want to change this greeting once in a while I'll give suggestions: [How do you do?][What's new? or what's up? (informal, but we are all friends)][How does life treat you?] these are different greetings if you want to try them.
It was a rainy day where I am and it was cold today. Today it was a cold and rainy day where I live.
Hatoyama rose to power, new political party won the election.

My 漢字 would be 婚. My brother and some of my friends are getting married this year.
疲？ I think it is a nice kanji for many Japanese too.
By the way, are you tired?
Ah! You chose the nice kanji.
I like the kanji too.
I know you did your best for JLPT.
I hope and I'm sure you will get the nice news next year.
As for myself, I had a good news that I passed STEP pre 1st recently.
Thank you so much for the corrections.
I see. You chose the nice kanji.
I like 光 too.
I forgot to tell you my thanks.
添削ありがとう！＾＾
I see. I know it because I read your entry ago.
婚 is a happy kanji, isn't it?
When will it be yours, by the way? lol
You are right! You came here around this May and you told me about your nice trip via Skype.
Your kanji is very nice because it has two meanings in it.
One is 日本の日 and the other is you had nice days in Japan 日々の日.
And then exams, and I had to start changing the way I study Japanese, to make it efficient...
I hope next year my kanji will be something like 平 or 勝 ＾＾
For example, last year's kanji was "変", right?
Is there a way "変" could have also been chosen for this or the next year?
Also, can kanji that are not in 常用版辞表 be chosen for year, like "唖" ?
You are right. You have a good memory!
Our kanji in 2008 was 変.
Well, I think it is okay to choose the same kanji, however since there are thousands of kanji, we tend to choose the defferent one every year.
Generally speaking, kanji of the year can be chosen as a popular kanji everybody knows. So I don't think the kanji you showed us is not so suitable as the kanji of the year. But it will be okay the kanji was chosen beside 常用漢字.
Hmm, what would I choose for my kanji of the year, I'm not sure! I'd choose "hope" in English!
I also like the English word.
Well, let me choose one kanji for you!
I give you this kanji,"友” because you have been a nice friend and you are so friendly.
あはは！５年後？面白い！
