Buzzwords reflect the changing trends of society and evolve with the passage of time. This paper takes 226 award-winning words from the Chinese and Japanese Buzzword of the Year Awards from 2010 to 2025 as its research object, analyzes the characteristics and distribution domains of buzzwords in both countries, and explores the reception, transformation, and mutual translation of these buzzwords between Chinese and Japanese. Through the research, commonalities and differences in the national conditions and cultural backgrounds of the two countries are summarized, which can help reduce conflicts and friction, eliminate barriers, and promote the smooth development of cross-cultural communication between China and Japan.
