Panahon ngayon ng shinenkai o sa English ay New years party dito sa Japan...A shinnenkai ( literally "new year gathering") is the Japanese tradition of welcoming the arrival of the New Year, usually by the drinking of alcohol.A shinnenkai is generally held among co-workers or friends in January..Like the many festivals and celebrations that the Japanese are known for, a shinnenkai is their way of getting together to celebrate a new year and to make promises to each other to do their best for this year while wishing each other good luck and fortune....Karamihan sa nagcecelebrate ay magkakasama sa trabaho o company, naghahati hati sila sa gastos kung gaganapin Ito sa restaurant o sa Isang event place.. Hating kapatid ika nga.. Masaya ang Shinnenkai , LALO pat kung Ito ay gaganapin sa karaoke Room,, asahan mo na nandyan ang hiyawan, kantahan at sayawan.. Hindi pwede ang KJ hehehe, lahat dapat makikisama o makikicooperate..pwera na lang kung may sinamaan ng katawan sa  sobrang pag inom .. kaya dapat hinay lang para kinabukasan wala kang hang over, kasi May pasok pa syempre kinabukakasan.
