This kind of “aru” means something along the lines of “one”, “some”, “a certain”, etc. For example, “aru hi” is “one day”, not quite as in “one, instead of two or three”, but more like “there’s this one day”. I’ve seen “aru hi” used to begin reciting a tale; it kind of strikes me as a stock similar in use to “once upon a time” but I could be off on this one.

I have a question. what does aru mean? I saw it in Hare Hare Yukai.

Lyrics:
Aru Hare tohi no koto
Mahou ijou no yukai wa… and so on. What does aru mean?

Looks like its been a year since this section was updated, but if u r looking for a topic, sound words might be interesting. Sorry i forgot the actual term, but youll get wat i mean from this page. http://www.thejapanesepage.com/ono.htm
These things r so convenient and expressive that i often mistakenly mix them into my singlish.

A chapter on the ending of sentences might also be interesting. eg
http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa110401a.htm
Besides the conventional, theres also stuff like how dejiko ends her sentences in “nyo” etc. absolutely no meaning, but cute. in this respect Japanese is very expressive.
