    May happiness and joy come to you as you celebrate this joyous day.
  • 取り込みとりこみCommon
    nounA noun for winning people over, such as attracting or capturing customers. It does not describe things as pleasing; for 'a pleasing sight' it is seldom the word you want.

Use 「喜ばしい」 when 'pleasing' describes something that brings joy, such as news, results, or sights; 「取り込み」 is a noun for the act of winning people over, as in attracting customers, not for describing things as pleasing.
