In addition to the award-winning words, the buzzwords of the season are listed in the company's "Basic Knowledge of Modern Terms".

The name of this award is sometimes misunderstood, but not all buzzwords are new words. Newly created buzzwords often become dead words (obsolete words) as temporary ones, but some of them become established as general vocabulary.

Those who do not adopt will be subject to sanctions such as exclusion.

For example, it is said that there are many ambiguous words in modern young people's language.
