Contexto cultural
In Japan, March is the season of endings and beginnings due to the school year cycle. This makes 'maitoshi naku' a very common sentiment during graduation ceremonies. Additionally, Japanese media often produces 'tear-jerker' (nakige) specials during the New Year or Obon holidays specifically to evoke this recurring emotional response.
The 'Maitoshi' vs 'Mainen' Debate

What It Means
This phrase is as straightforward as it gets. It describes a yearly ritual of shedding tears. You aren't just crying once. You are crying like clockwork every twelve months. It usually points to a specific event or season. Maybe it's a sentimental movie. Maybe it's a graduation ceremony. It shows a consistent emotional connection to something.
How To Use It
You just combine 毎年 (every year) with 泣く (to cry). To explain why, use the particle で. For example, ドラマで毎年泣く means "I cry every year at the drama." If you want to sound more natural, use 泣いちゃう. This implies you can't help the tears. It adds a touch of personality to your sentence. You can also use 泣いています for an ongoing habit.
When To Use It
Use this when discussing traditions. It’s perfect for seasonal conversations. March is graduation season in Japan. Everyone expects to cry then. You can also use it for sports. If your favorite team loses every year, this fits. It’s great for bonding over shared emotions. Use it while texting friends about a TV special. It works well for nostalgic moments.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this for a one-time sad event. If your ice cream falls, you just cry. You don't "every year cry" about that specific scoop. It also sounds odd for serious tragedies. Keep it for predictable, recurring moments of emotion. Avoid using it if the crying is actually a medical concern. That might worry your Japanese friends too much! Stick to sentimental or relatable contexts.
Cultural Background
Japan has a culture that appreciates "mono no aware." This is the beauty in the fleeting nature of things. Graduation ceremonies (sotsugyoshiki) are huge emotional milestones. They happen in March when cherry blossoms bloom. This timing makes everyone extra sentimental. Many TV specials are designed specifically to make you cry. Being a "nakimushi" (crybaby) in these contexts is totally okay. It shows you have a warm heart.
Common Variations
You might hear 毎年泣かされる. This means "I am made to cry every year." It suggests the event is so powerful you have no choice. Another one is 毎年泣きそうになる. This means "I almost cry every year." Use this if you’re trying to act tough. For a polite setting, use 毎年泣きます. It keeps things respectful while sharing your feelings. If you're joking about allergies, it's a common pun too.
Notas de uso
This phrase is highly versatile. In neutral or informal settings, it's a great conversation starter about traditions. Just be careful with the verb ending to match your audience.
