Happy birthday
O-tanjoubi omedetou (gozaimasu)
お誕生日おめでとう (ございます)
Storm
Arashi
嵐
Yep, it means 'thank you'. :) It's a very polite way of saying it though. Just like with 'happy birthday', 'gozaimasu' is optional, and it adds politeness.
Oh, and it's spelled 'konnichi wa'.

So i would write it as ございます お誕生日おめでとう if i want to be polite?
Saying it as gozaimasu O-tanjoubi omedetou
or does the 'gozamasu' part stay in the back?

Yes, 'gozaimasu' always comes last.
And you don't need to leave a space between the words in Japanese. Spacing is quite infrequent.

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? There's kanji for pretty much all your standard Japanese, like "anata" too. I rarely ever see the kanji used... sometimes I see "doko" written 何処 in song lyrics. Other than that, the hiragana is primarily used.

行くぞって言って、「です」とか一番たいしたところじゃないのを教えてあげようというより初歩な文法で始めたらどうだよ、おめー。
っつーかね。 お前の使ってた方法で誰か習えるかよ? 信じられん。
