Story

What the post asked, what the answer turned out to be, and what the chain says happened. The record below holds the data.

Two eras

"Two words with harmony." The hint says it was big news in Japan a week earlier. That's the new era name, Reiwa, announced in April 2019.

Showa and Reiwa both pair a kanji with 和. Those two kanji mean luminous and command, so the string is luminous command xhm. Players tried Reiwa for hours and kept getting only half of it.

It held twelve hours. The next post owns up: most players aren't native Japanese speakers, so no Japanese themes for a while.

Published answer
The solution for this block was luminous command. The reason is that the Showa era used the kanji 昭 together with harmony and the Reiwa era is using 令 together with harmony.

officialIt is correct to think of Reiwa, but that is only one word joining "harmony". I am looking for word1 harmony word2 harmony. Also, the meaning for Rei in the comments will not work.
