Japanese festivals are traditional festive occasions. Some festivals have their roots in Chinese festivals centuries ago, but have undergone great changes as they mixed with local customs.
Some are so different that they do not even remotely resemble the original festival despite sharing the same name and date. There are also various local festivals (e.g. Tobata Gion) that are mostly unknown outside a given prefecture. It is commonly said that you will always find a festival somewhere in Japan.
Unlike most people in East Asia, Japanese people generally do not celebrate Lunar New Year (it having been supplanted by the Western New Year's Day, on January 1, in the late 19th century); although many Chinese residents in Japan, as elsewhere, still celebrate Lunar New Year. In Yokohama Chinatown, Japan's biggest Chinatown, tourists from all over Japan come to enjoy the festival. And similarly the Nagasaki Lantern Festival is based in Nagasaki's Chinatown.

Well, I'm walking down the street!, 3 p.m. and have a
beer All those people look so dead HEY,HEY! They're gonna
suicide, And it's O.K! It's OK! I keep smoking marihuana,
Always do what I wanna, And I don't feel like everyone, I
wanna have some fun, Have some fun! Have some fun There
is too much paranoia, You don't want to be an umployed,
But I'm not like everyone, I WANNA!! HAVE SOME FUN! Have
some fun!... AND WHAT ABBOUTT YOUUU!! I quit my JOB! Good
for me! I'm getting DRUNK! Good for me! I'll fuck the
COPS! Good for me! And my boss, government, teenage
chicks, Anal Sex!! And my fuckin' mom and dad...
