So you are saying that Japanese media do show fireworks in various places for the New Year. Let's see what you have found :Originally Posted by Konoike no neko
The 2 first links showing fireworks in Taiwan, Hong Kong and London are from MBS, a radio and TV company broadcasting only in Kansai (from what they say on their website, and indeed I had never heard of it in Tokyo). It is obviously not one of the "big 5" channels available nationwide : NHK, Nihon TV, TBS, Fuji TV and Asahi TV.
Then you show me a picture from Asahi Newspaper, but it's a fireworks in Osaka.
The last link has no picture. It's a very small article from the Yomiuri Newspaper about fireworks in Tokyo Disneyland for the New Year (should I specify that there are fireworks every night at Tokyo Disneyland/DisneySea ?)
In some way you confirm what I was saying, that the major TV and newspapers in Japan don't even mention fireworks outside Japan. Thanks for telling me about MBS, which like often in Japan shows that the Kansai can be a wonderful exception to what is standard in Japan.
