At Cape Toi in Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture, meteors streaked across clear winter skies, while some travelers even stopped their cars to gaze upward.😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

At Nojimazaki Lighthouse Park in Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, spectators braved the cold sea breeze—some with cameras, others lying on the grass—to enjoy the celestial show. Around 9:30 p.m., an especially bright meteor with a long trail lit up the sky, drawing cheers from the crowd.✨✨✨

🌍🏙️ Tokyo Overtakes New York to Rank Second in Global City Power Index

Tokyo has surpassed New York to claim second place for the first time in the 2025 Global Power City Index, released on the 17th by the Mori Memorial Foundation, a think tank affiliated with Mori Building Co. The city’s rise was driven by strong tourism performance, boosted by the weaker yen and a surge in inbound visitors.🦄🦄🦄

New York, which had held second place for 13 consecutive years, was weighed down by rising living costs. The top-five rankings changed for the first time in nine years, with London remaining in first place.🔥🔥🔥
