        Japanese city commemorates Pearl Harbor victims with fireworks

        Fireworks resembling white chrysanthemum flowers, which are often presented at memorial services in Japan to honor the dead, explode over Japan's Nagaoka city on Dec. 8, 2015, the 74th anniversary of Japan's Pearl Harbor attack, to commemorate the victims of the air raids and other victims of World War II. Nagaoka, the hometown of Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the 1941 attack in Hawaii, was heavily damaged in air raids by the United States in August 1945. Overcoming the painful pasts, Nagaoka and Honolulu became sister cities, and the Japanese city famous for its fireworks has been conducting a memorial firework event every Dec. 8 since 2011. Nagaoka's fireworks were also displayed over Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on Aug. 15, 2015, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of war in the Pacific. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
