설명 新記録 in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should understand 'shinkiroku' as a word meaning 'a new record.' It is like when you do something better than you ever did before. For example, if you run a race and you are faster than last time, that is a 'shinkiroku.' You will see this word often in sports news or when people talk about games. You can use it simply by saying 'Shinkiroku desu!' (It's a new record!). The word is made of 'shin' (new) and 'kiroku' (record). It's a very positive word used to celebrate doing your best. Even if you don't know the kanji yet, remembering the sound 'shinkiroku' will help you understand many exciting moments in Japanese TV or conversations. Just remember it's a noun, so you use it like 'record' in English. You might hear it in school when a teacher talks about a test score that is very high. It's a great word to use when you want to praise someone for their hard work and success.

At the A2 level, you can start using 'shinkiroku' in basic sentences with verbs. The most important verb to learn with it is 'dasu' (to produce/set). For example, 'Shinkiroku wo dashimashita' means 'I set a new record.' You can also use 'jiko' (self) to say 'jiko shinkiroku,' which means 'personal best.' This is very useful when talking about your hobbies or studies. You might say, 'Kinou, jiko shinkiroku wo dashimashita' (Yesterday, I set a personal best). At this level, you should also recognize the kanji: 新 (new), 記 (write), and 録 (record). Understanding these parts helps you see how the word is built. You will often see this word in headlines about the weather (like record heat) or sports. It's a key word for understanding achievements. When you use it, you're showing that you understand not just a result, but a result that is better than anything before it. It adds a lot of meaning to your Japanese conversations about success.

At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 'shinkiroku' with more formal verbs like 'koushin suru' (to update/break) and 'tassei suru' (to achieve). You'll notice that 'koushin' is the standard way to say 'break a record' in news and formal reports. For example, 'Kare wa sekai shinkiroku wo koushin shimashita' (He broke the world record). You should also be able to distinguish between 'shinkiroku' and 'saikou kiroku.' While 'shinkiroku' is the event of breaking the record, 'saikou kiroku' is the record itself. You might use 'shinkiroku' to talk about business milestones, such as 'Konshuu wa uriage no shinkiroku wo tassei shimashita' (This week we achieved a new record in sales). At this stage, you should also understand the cultural nuance that breaking a record is highly valued in Japanese society as a sign of 'kaizen' or continuous improvement. You can use this word to express your goals and your progress in learning Japanese, showing a deeper connection to the language's focus on documented achievement.

At the B2 level, 'shinkiroku' becomes a versatile tool for discussing trends and historical data. You will encounter it in complex texts about economics, social changes, and high-level sports analysis. You should understand phrases like 'shinkiroku wo nurikaeru' (to rewrite a new record), which is a more literary and dramatic way to say a record was broken. You'll also see it used in compound nouns like 'taikai shinkiroku' (tournament record) or 'shinkiroku-zutsumi' (in rare literary contexts). At this level, you should be able to discuss the implications of a 'shinkiroku,' such as how a record-breaking heatwave affects the economy or how a new record in stock prices influences investor behavior. You can use the word to provide evidence for your arguments in essays or debates. For instance, 'Kono de-ta wa, shinkiroku ga koushin sare-tsuzukete iru koto wo shimeshite imasu' (This data shows that new records are continuing to be updated). Your usage should reflect an understanding of the word's ability to denote historical shifts and peak human or institutional performance.

At the C1 level, your understanding of 'shinkiroku' should include its rhetorical use in media and professional discourse. You should be sensitive to the tone it sets—often one of superlative achievement or, conversely, alarming extremes (such as 'fumeiyo na shinkiroku'—a dishonorable record). You can analyze how the word is used to construct narratives of progress or crisis in Japanese journalism. For example, you might critique how the constant pursuit of 'shinkiroku' in the corporate world contributes to work culture. You should also be familiar with academic synonyms and related concepts like 'mi-zou' (unprecedented) or 'ruishi wo minai' (unparalleled). In professional settings, you would use 'shinkiroku' to present data-driven successes, perhaps pairing it with 'shinki-jiku' (a new departure/novel idea) to explain *why* the record was possible. Your mastery should allow you to use the term not just as a label for a high number, but as a conceptual anchor for discussing breakthroughs, historical milestones, and the limits of performance in any given field, from linguistics to aerospace engineering.

At the C2 level, 'shinkiroku' is a nuanced element of your high-level Japanese repertoire. You can use it with precision in philosophical or highly technical discussions. You might explore the semantics of 'shinkiroku' versus 'kyokuchi' (the height/zenith) or 'to-tatsu-ten' (attainment point). You are capable of using the term in a nuanced way to describe abstract records, such as 'the record for the most complex piece of legislation' or 'the record for the fastest cultural shift in the post-war era.' You understand the subtle irony when 'shinkiroku' is used in satirical contexts to highlight repeated failures or absurdly specific statistics. In formal writing, you can weave 'shinkiroku' into sophisticated sentence structures that discuss the trajectory of Japanese history or the evolution of modern industries. Your ability to use and interpret this word reflects a near-native grasp of the Japanese obsession with documentation, historical continuity, and the prestige associated with breaking the bounds of the previously possible. You can effortlessly switch between the emotional weight of a sports 'shinkiroku' and the cold, statistical reality of a business 'shinkiroku,' adjusting your vocabulary and register to match the sophisticated demands of any high-level communicative situation.

연습하기 예시 노트와 팁

新記録 30초 만에

Shinkiroku means 'new record' and is used for any achievement that surpasses previous benchmarks.
It is common in sports, business, and personal goals, often paired with 'koushin suru' (to break).
The word emphasizes documented proof and historical significance of a peak performance.
Learners should use it as a noun and avoid using it as a direct verb like 'shinkiroku-suru'.

The Japanese word 新記録 (しんきろく - shinkiroku) is a compound noun that translates directly to 'new record.' In the Japanese linguistic landscape, this term is ubiquitous, appearing in contexts ranging from professional athletics to corporate sales reports and personal hobbies. It is formed by three kanji characters: 新 (shin) meaning 'new,' 記 (ki) meaning 'to write down' or 'chronicle,' and 録 (roku) meaning 'to record' or 'register.' Together, they signify a documented achievement that surpasses all previously established benchmarks within a specific category.

Sports Context: In sports, you will frequently hear 'Sekai Shinkiroku' (World New Record) or 'Nihon Shinkiroku' (Japan New Record). It denotes the moment an athlete breaks a time, distance, or score barrier.

彼は100メートル走で新記録を達成しました。(He achieved a new record in the 100-meter dash.)

Beyond the physical arena, 'shinkiroku' is a vital term in the world of business and data. When a company hits its highest quarterly revenue in history, it is celebrated as a 'shinkiroku.' It implies not just a good result, but the best result ever recorded. This nuance is important: while 'kiroku' (record) can refer to any data point, 'shinkiroku' specifically highlights the peak performance. It carries a sense of celebration, progress, and the breaking of boundaries.

Business Application: Used to describe sales peaks, production numbers, or stock market highs. It signals growth and unprecedented success to stakeholders.

今期の売上は過去最高の新記録です。(This term's sales are a new record, the highest in history.)

In daily life, Japanese speakers use this word to express personal milestones. If you managed to save more money this month than ever before, or if you read more books this year than any previous year, you might call it a 'shinkiroku.' It is a word of motivation. It represents the human drive to improve and the quantitative proof of that improvement. When using it, the verb 'dasu' (to put out/produce) or 'tassei suru' (to achieve) is commonly paired with it.

Personal Best: 'Jiko shinkiroku' is the standard term for a 'personal best' or 'personal record' (PR/PB).

テストで自己新記録の点数を取りました。(I got a personal best score on the test.)

Furthermore, the word is often seen in news headlines. Japanese media is particularly fond of tracking records, whether it is the highest temperature recorded in summer or the longest queue for a new product launch. The term conveys a sense of historical significance and immediacy. It tells the reader that what they are witnessing is unprecedented. Understanding this word helps learners grasp the Japanese cultural emphasis on data, hierarchy of achievement, and the continuous pursuit of 'kaizen' or improvement.

猛暑で気温が新記録を更新しました。(Temperatures updated to a new record due to the heatwave.)

ギネス新記録に挑戦します。(I will challenge a new Guinness World Record.)

Using 新記録 (shinkiroku) correctly involves understanding its grammatical placement and the verbs that typically accompany it. As a noun, it can function as the subject, object, or part of a compound phrase. The most frequent verbs used with 'shinkiroku' are koushin suru (to update/break), tassei suru (to achieve), and dasu (to produce/set).

With 'Koushin suru' (Update): This is the standard way to say 'to break a record.' It implies that the old record has been replaced by the new one.

彼は世界新記録を更新した。(He updated/broke the world record.)

When you want to say you 'set' a record, especially for the first time or in a casual context, dasu is appropriate. For example, in a school sports day context, a student might say they 'produced' a new record. In contrast, tassei suru sounds more formal and emphasizes the effort and goal-oriented nature of the achievement.

With 'Tassei suru' (Achieve): Used when the record was a target or a major milestone reached after hard work.

ついに目標の新記録を達成した。(I finally achieved the target new record.)

Another common structure is using 'shinkiroku' as a modifier. For instance, 'shinkiroku-zutsumi' (wrapped in a new record - rare) or more commonly, pairing it with specific nouns like 'shinkiroku-kyousou' (a race for a new record). You can also use it with the particle 'da' or 'desu' to state that something *is* a new record.

State of Being: Using 'desu' to identify the achievement.

これは驚くべき新記録です。(This is an amazing new record.)

In more complex sentences, you might see 'shinkiroku' followed by 'made ato wazuka' (just a little bit more until a new record). This describes a situation where someone is very close to breaking a record. This is common in sports commentary where the tension is high. Understanding these collocations allows you to move beyond simple definitions and into natural Japanese usage.

新記録まであと一歩です。(Just one more step until a new record.)

大会新記録が期待されています。(A new tournament record is expected.)

You will encounter 新記録 (shinkiroku) in a variety of real-world settings in Japan. One of the most prominent places is on the evening news, specifically during the sports segment. News anchors use it with a sense of excitement and prestige. Whether it's a baseball player hitting a record number of home runs or a sumo wrestler achieving a new streak of wins, 'shinkiroku' is the go-to word to signal a historic moment.

TV News and Sports Commentary: Used to announce major breakthroughs in competitive fields. It creates a sense of awe and national pride.

大谷選手がまた一つ新記録を打ち立てました。(Ohtani-senshu has established yet another new record.)

In the business world, you will hear this word during company-wide meetings or 'chorei' (morning briefings). A department manager might announce that the sales team has reached a 'shinkiroku' for monthly contracts. In this context, it serves as a powerful motivational tool, reinforcing the company's growth and the employees' hard work. It is often followed by applause and perhaps a small celebration or bonus announcement.

Corporate Meetings: Used to celebrate high performance and milestones in sales, production, or efficiency.

先月の契約数は、我が社にとっての新記録です。(The number of contracts last month is a new record for our company.)

The term is also incredibly common in the gaming and tech communities. Speedrunners (gamers who try to finish games as fast as possible) constantly talk about 'shinkiroku' or 'jiko-shin' (personal best). In online forums like 2channel (now 5channel) or Twitter, you'll see users posting screenshots of their high scores with the caption 'shinkiroku tassei!' (new record achieved!). This digital usage keeps the word relevant among younger generations.

Gaming and Social Media: Used to share gaming achievements, high scores, or even personal habits like 'days without sugar.'

このゲームのクリア時間で新記録を出したよ。(I set a new record for the clear time of this game!)

Finally, educational settings frequently use 'shinkiroku.' During physical education (PE) tests or academic exams, teachers encourage students to aim for their 'jiko shinkiroku.' It shifts the focus from competing with others to competing with oneself. This usage is deeply rooted in the Japanese educational philosophy of self-discipline and incremental progress.

明日の体力テストでは、自分の新記録を目指そう。(In tomorrow's fitness test, let's aim for our own new records.)

彼は水泳で大会新記録を塗り替えた。(He rewrote the tournament record in swimming.)

One of the most common mistakes learners make with 新記録 (shinkiroku) is confusing it with simply 'kiroku' (record). While all 'shinkiroku' are 'kiroku,' not all 'kiroku' are 'shinkiroku.' If you are just talking about a data entry or a general record without it being a new high, you should only use 'kiroku.' Using 'shinkiroku' for a mundane data entry sounds very strange and overly dramatic.

Overuse of 'Shin': Mistaking a normal record for a 'new record.' Only use 'shin' when a previous benchmark has been surpassed.

❌ 今日の気温を新記録しました。(I 'new-recorded' today's temperature.) -> This is grammatically wrong and logically odd unless it's a record temperature.

Another mistake involves the verb pairing. Learners often try to use 'suru' (to do) directly with 'shinkiroku' as if it were a suru-verb (e.g., 'shinkiroku-suru'). However, 'shinkiroku' is a pure noun. You must use a verb like 'koushin suru' (to update) or 'dasu' (to produce). Saying 'shinkiroku suru' sounds like you are turning the noun into a verb incorrectly, which sounds non-native.

Verb Misuse: Trying to use 'shinkiroku' as a verb. It always needs an auxiliary verb like 'koushin suru' or 'tassei suru.'

❌ 彼は新記録しました。(He 'new-recorded.') -> Correct: 彼は新記録を更新しました。

Confusing 'shinkiroku' with 'saikou kiroku' (highest record) is also common. While they are very similar, 'shinkiroku' emphasizes the *act* of breaking the record recently, whereas 'saikou kiroku' refers to the *status* of the current highest record. If you are pointing at a chart of the highest scores, you'd say 'saikou kiroku.' If someone just broke one, you'd shout 'shinkiroku!'

Nuance: New vs. Highest: 'Shinkiroku' is for the breakthrough event. 'Saikou kiroku' is for the record itself as a data point.

これがこの大会の最高記録です。(This is the highest record of this tournament.) vs. 新記録が出ました！ (A new record has been set!)

Lastly, be careful with the context of 'bad' records. In English, we might say 'a new record for most mistakes.' While 'shinkiroku' can technically be used this way in Japanese, it often carries a positive or 'impressive' connotation. If you want to emphasize a negative streak or a bad record, words like 'saiaku' (worst) or 'fumeiyo na kiroku' (dishonorable record) are more common and appropriate.

不名誉な新記録を作ってしまった。(I ended up making a dishonorable new record.)

❌ 宿題を忘れた新記録。(New record for forgetting homework.) -> Sounds a bit too positive/excited.

To truly master 新記録 (shinkiroku), it is helpful to know its related terms and synonyms. Japanese has several ways to describe peaks and achievements, each with its own nuance. The most common alternative is 最高記録 (saikou kiroku), which refers to the 'highest record' or 'peak record.' While 'shinkiroku' focuses on the novelty of the achievement, 'saikou kiroku' focuses on the absolute value.

Comparison: Shinkiroku vs. Saikou Kiroku: 'Shinkiroku' is the 'new' record just established. 'Saikou kiroku' is the 'highest' record currently standing.

彼は新記録を出し、それが大会の最高記録となった。(He set a new record, and that became the highest record of the tournament.)

Another important term is 自己ベスト (jiko besuto). This is a loanword from English 'personal best.' It is used almost identically to 'jiko shinkiroku.' However, 'jiko besuto' feels slightly more casual and is extremely common in sports and fitness circles. If you are talking to a friend at the gym, 'jiko besuto' is very natural. In a formal news report, 'jiko shinkiroku' is preferred.

Comparison: Jiko Shinkiroku vs. Jiko Besuto: 'Jiko shinkiroku' is more formal/literary. 'Jiko besuto' is modern and colloquial.

やった！自己ベスト更新！(Yes! Updated my personal best!)

In business, you might hear 過去最高 (kako saikou). This literally means 'highest in the past.' It is used for sales, profits, or numbers that have reached an all-time high. While 'shinkiroku' can be used here too, 'kako saikou' is the industry standard for financial reporting. It sounds more analytical and professional.

Comparison: Shinkiroku vs. Kako Saikou: 'Shinkiroku' is more dynamic and event-focused. 'Kako saikou' is more descriptive of a statistical state.

利益が過去最高を記録しました。(Profits recorded an all-time high.)

Finally, for something that is simply 'the best' without necessarily being a 'record' in a database, you can use 一番 (ichiban) or 最高 (saikou). These are much broader terms. 'Shinkiroku' is specifically for when a number or a documented fact has been surpassed. Using 'shinkiroku' adds a level of precision and evidence to your statement that 'saikou' lacks.

この映画は最高です！(This movie is the best!) vs. この映画は興行収入の新記録を作りました。(This movie made a new record in box office revenue.)

彼は日本新記録の保持者です。(He is the holder of the Japan new record.)

How Formal Is It?

재미있는 사실

The kanji for 'roku' (録) originally referred to 'copying' or 'transcribing' onto gold or metal plates, which is why it contains the 'gold/metal' radical (金). This implies that a record is something meant to be permanent and valuable.

발음 가이드

UK /ʃɪŋ.ki.ro.ku/

US /ʃɪn.ki.roʊ.ku/

Japanese is a pitch-accent language. In 'shinkiroku,' the pitch is typically low-high-high-high-high (Heiban style), meaning it stays relatively flat after the first syllable.

라임이 맞는 단어

Kiroku (record) Mokuroku (catalog) Touroku (registration) Furoku (supplement) Goro-awase (not a rhyme but shares sounds) Hyouryoku (floating power) Chouryoku (hearing power) Souryoku (total power)

자주 하는 실수

Pronouncing 'shin' like 'sheen.' It should be a short 'i' as in 'ship.'
Failing to give the 'n' (ん) its full beat. It is a mora of its own.
Over-stressing the 'roku.' Japanese stress is more about pitch than volume.
Mixing up the 'r' sound with an English 'r.' The Japanese 'r' is a flick of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, similar to a Spanish 'r' or a quick 'd' sound.
Skipping the 'u' at the end. While it can be devoiced, in clear speech, it should be present.

난이도

독해 3/5

The kanji are N3/N2 level, but the word is common enough that A1/A2 learners hear it frequently.

쓰기 4/5

Writing 'roku' (録) correctly requires attention to the metal radical and the complex right side.

말하기 2/5

The word is very distinct and easy to pick out in sports or news broadcasts.

사용법

frequency

Extremely high in news, sports, and business; moderate in daily casual conversation.

자주 하는 실수

Using 'shinkiroku' as a verb. → 新記録を更新する (Shinkiroku wo koushin suru).
Shinkiroku is a noun, not a suru-verb. You need 'wo' and a verb like 'koushin' or 'dasu'.
Confusing 'shinkiroku' with 'kiroku'. → Use 'kiroku' for data entry, 'shinkiroku' for breakthroughs.
If you just save a file, it's 'kiroku'. If you break a world record, it's 'shinkiroku'.
Pronouncing 'shin' as 'sheen'. → Short 'i' as in 'ship'.
The 'i' in 'shin' is short. 'Sheen' sounds like a different word or just non-native.
Using it for bad things without context. → Use 'saiaku' or 'fumeiyo na kiroku'.
Saying 'New record for failing!' sounds weirdly happy unless you are being ironic.
Mixing up 'roku' (録) and 'ryoku' (力). → Shinkiroku (record) vs. Shin-ryoku (new power).
These sound similar but 'ryoku' means power. 'Roku' is for recording.

팁

Sports Commentary

When watching sports, listen for 'shinkiroku' followed by 'deru ka?!' (Will a new record come out?!). It's a classic phrase.

Particle Choice

Use 'wo' when you are the one breaking the record. Use 'ga' when the record happens naturally, like in weather.

Kanji Meaning

Remember that 'Roku' (録) has the metal radical. Think of records being engraved in metal to last forever.

Shin = New

If you know 'Shinkansen' (New train), you already know the 'Shin' in 'Shinkiroku'!

Reporting

In a Japanese company, announcing a 'shinkiroku' is a great way to boost team morale.

Humility

Even if you set a record, adding 'okagesama de' (thanks to everyone) makes you sound more native and humble.

News Keywords

In news, 'shinkiroku' is often paired with 'kansoku-shijou' (in observation history).

Stroke Order

The kanji 'Shin' (新) has 13 strokes. Practice the 'axe' radical (斤) carefully.

Prefixes

Learn 'Sekai' (World) and 'Nihon' (Japan) to use with 'shinkiroku' immediately.

Hashtags

On Japanese Twitter, people use #新記録 when posting their high scores in games.

암기하기

기억법

Think of 'SHIN' as 'SHINy' and 'KIROKU' as 'KEY RECORD'. A SHINy NEW KEY RECORD is a SHINKIROKU.

시각적 연상

Imagine a runner breaking through a bright 'SHINy' finish line tape that has the word 'RECORD' written all over it.

Word Web

新 (New) 記録 (Record) 世界 (World) 自己 (Self) 更新 (Update) 達成 (Achieve) スポーツ (Sports) ビジネス (Business)

챌린지

Try to find one 'shinkiroku' in your own life today. Did you study for a record number of minutes? Did you walk a record number of steps? Say 'Shinkiroku wo dashimashita!' out loud.

어원

The word is a Sino-Japanese (Kango) compound. 'Shin' (新) is a very old kanji meaning 'new.' 'Kiroku' (記録) has been used for centuries to mean official chronicles or registers. The combination 'shinkiroku' became prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as Japan modernized and adopted Western-style competitive sports and statistical accounting.

원래 의미: A newly written chronicle or a fresh entry in a register.

Sino-Japanese (Kango)

문화적 맥락

Be careful when using 'shinkiroku' for negative events (like debt or accidents) as it can sound sarcastic or insensitive if the tone is too excited.

While English speakers use 'new record,' they often use 'personal best' (PB) or 'personal record' (PR) for themselves. Japanese uses 'jiko shinkiroku' which sounds slightly more formal but is used just as often.

Ichiro Suzuki's MLB hit records (often called 'shinkiroku' in Japan). The 'New Record' sound effect in many Japanese video games like Mario Kart. Weather reports during the 'extreme heat' (mousho) seasons.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

Yes, but it often sounds ironic or very formal. For example, 'shitsugyou-ritsu no shinkiroku' (a new record in unemployment rates). In casual speech, people usually prefer 'saiaku' (worst).

Exactly. It means your own personal best score or time. In casual settings, you can also say 'jiko besuto'.

'Koushin' means to break or update an existing record. 'Tassei' means to achieve a target record. Use 'koushin' when you want to emphasize that the old record is gone.

No. You cannot say 'shinkiroku-suru.' You must say 'shinkiroku wo koushin-suru' or similar.

Yes, very much so. It’s used for sales, profits, or any metric that hits an all-time high.

You say 'Sekai Shinkiroku' (世界新記録).

This is a very rare, poetic way to say something is 'wrapped' or 'characterized' by a new record. You likely won't need it in daily life.

If you just say 'kiroku,' it means 'record.' If you want to say 'new record,' you must include 'shin'.

Yes. 'Kion no shinkiroku' means a new record temperature.

Not really a slang 'word,' but young people might say 'jiko-shin' as an abbreviation for 'jiko shinkiroku'.
