  • 多幸症たこうしょう

  • 幸福感こうふくかん
    nounCovers a feeling of happiness and a sense of well-being first; its 'euphoria' rendering fits when euphoria amounts to a deep feeling of happiness rather than a dramatic high.

  • 天にも昇る気持ちてんにものぼるきもち
    expression, nounAn idiom, literally 'a feeling of rising to heaven': extreme happiness, seventh heaven. It suits vivid description of the soaring joy felt at a wonderful moment.

Choose 「ユーフォリア」 for the borrowed English term, 多幸感 for a feeling of abundant happiness, 多幸症 strictly for euphoria as a medical symptom, 幸福感 for ordinary happiness or well-being, and 「天にも昇る気持ち」 for vivid, soaring joy.
