It can be so difficult to come up with appropriately cheesy titles for these posts.
Summertime in Japan, particularly in the Tokyo area, means beautiful fireworks displays (“hanabi”) nearly every weekend. Throngs of onlookers set up viewing spots hours in advance, similar to the “hanami” experience during cherry blossom season.
Tonight’s show over the north part of Tokyo Bay was no exception in both beauty and in the sheer number of viewers. Last year’s show was canceled out of respect for the Great East Japan Earthquake victims, making this year’s show all the more special.
And then everyone has to get home!
Fabulous – but who doesn’t love fireworks?!?
Ha, fair question! I hope the answer is “nobody”.
