As a television station whose mission is to be “close to the community,” we are extremely pleased that we were able to convey the appeal of the Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival and that so many viewers were able to watch. We deeply regret that we were unable to deliver the finale live due to the rain delay… We hope to enjoy clear skies next year, and we hope to continue to help make the event a success.
