Welcome to my next Japanese lesson! Today's word is ときめき (tokimeki). This word doesn't have an exact equivalent in English. We use it to explain the feeling we have when our hearts are full of excitement and passion. It's used in J-pop songs to express the feelings of people who are experiencing all sorts of excitement (especially falling in love). There's a love-simulation video game called "Tokimeki Memorial".
