Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu is hosting a dazzling fireworks show on July 3, with 14,000 rockets to be launched during the hour-long event. Now in its third year, this music-themed display will revolve around city pop, the now widely popular genre of Japanese music from the 1970s and 1980s that is characterised by its catchy and optimistic melodies.
Expect to see fireworks exploding in sync to the nostalgic tunes by artists such as Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya Takeuchi and Taeko Onuki. The stadium opens at 5pm, and the main fireworks display will start at 7.30pm.
