Contexto cultural
The concept of 'shusseki' is deeply tied to the Japanese education system and corporate culture, where attendance records are often strictly kept. In many Japanese schools, students receive awards for 'perfect attendance' (kaikin-sho), fostering a lifelong habit of punctuality and presence. Interestingly, the term was historically used to describe appearing before a high-ranking official or a deity.
The 'Missing' Particle
In daily conversation, Japanese people often say `出席する` instead of `出席をする`. Dropping the `を` makes you sound more natural and less like a textbook!
Not for Hangouts
Never use this for a casual dinner or a date. It sounds like you're treating your partner like a business client. Use `行く` (go) or `会う` (meet) instead.

What It Means
Think of 出席をする as the official way to say 'I'm going.' While English uses 'attend,' Japanese uses a noun-verb combo. 出席 means 'attendance' and をする means 'to do.' Together, they mean you are physically showing up where you're expected. It is clear, polite, and very common.
How To Use It
You usually pair this with the particle に to show what you are attending. For example, 会議に出席をする means 'I will attend the meeting.' You can also drop the を to make it 出席する. This is a bit more common in fast speech. It works perfectly in both polite and casual forms.
When To Use It
Use this for scheduled events where someone might be taking a headcount. It is perfect for school classes or business meetings. It is also the standard word for formal events like weddings or funerals. If you are RSVPing to an invitation, this is the word you want. It shows you take the event seriously.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this for casual hangouts with friends. If you're going to a bar, use 行く. Using 出席をする for a movie date sounds like you're filing a tax return. It’s also not for 'attending' a place like a park or a store. Only use it for organized gatherings or ceremonies.
Cultural Background
In Japan, showing up is often considered more important than what you actually do there. Being present shows respect for the host or the organization. There is a strong culture of 'perfect attendance' (皆勤) in schools and companies. Even if you just sit quietly, your physical presence is a sign of commitment. It’s the ultimate way to show you are part of the group.
Common Variations
You will often see ご出席 on formal invitations. The ご is a polite prefix added by the host. When you reply, you cross out the ご to stay humble. In casual texts, you might just say 出席するよ to a classmate. If you're skipping, the opposite is 欠席をする (to be absent).
Notas de uso
The phrase is neutral-to-formal. In very casual settings, it can sound a bit stiff, so use `行く` (go) for friends. Always use `に` to mark the event you are attending.

The RSVP Secret
When you get a wedding invite, the card will have `御出席` (Your Attendance) and `御欠席` (Your Absence). Culturally, you should cross out the polite 'Go' (御) before mailing it back to show humility!
