[Arakajime~あ ら かじめ]
"beforehand," "in advance"

Arakajime indicates someone's doing something ahead of time in preparation for a future event. It is more formal than maemotte.

Examples:
その こと は あらかじめ 課長 と 相談 して おいた。
Sono koto wa arakajime kachō to sōdan shite oita.
I consulted with the section chief concerning that matter beforehand.

今晩のパーティーに はビールをあらかじめ 用意して おいて ください。
Konban no pātī ni wa bīru o arakajime yōi shite oite kudasai.
Please have beer ready in advance for tonight's party.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね！
