How it's used

Focuses on the final phase or concluding part of an event rather than just the absolute finish. It is often used to describe the last few minutes of a concert, a long meeting, or a theatrical performance. While it originates from musical terminology, it is now commonly applied to any process that is winding down.

Common phrases

entering the final stage

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe the end of a physical object or a simple task, as it implies a structured or performative process. For a simple finish, use 完結 or 結束 instead.
