As an East Asian myself and someone who appreciates Japanese culture, I'm happy to see the developers trying to make the game as authentic as possible to Japan. But I do agree that the events are quite lackluster. I hope the developers improve the quality of the events, like NPCs having special dialogues for each event. INFO ABOUT GOLDEN WEEK Arriving on the heels of cherry blossom festivals, “Golden Week” refers to a week into which four Japanese holidays fall. Due to the ongoing festivities, many Japanese citizens take time off from work that week, if their business is not already planning to close during that time. Although the specifics of the holidays have changed slightly over time, the seven days between April 29th and May 5th have been a prodigious time of celebration since the inception of the 1948 National Holiday Laws. Shōwa Day - April 29 This holiday commemorates the birthday of the late Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito), who reigned from 1926 to 1989. Constitution Memorial Day - May 3 Constitution Memorial Day is celebrated in honor of the Constitution of Japan, which went into effect on May 3, 1947. On this day, Japanese citizens are encouraged to reflect on Japanese history and democracy. Greenery Day - May 4 In 1989, as a result of Emperor Hirohito’s death, Greenery Day replaced Shōwa Day on the 29th of April. Greenery Day was created as a day to appreciate nature and as an homage to Emperor Shōwa, who was a nature enthusiast. Children’s Day - May 5 Children’s Day, as the name implies, is meant to celebrate the children of Japan. Previously, the holiday was called Tango no Sekku (Boy’s Day), and historically celebrated only the boys of Japan. In fact, many Japanese people still view the day as an occasion to primarily honor boys. In the modern-day, the festival is traditionally celebrated by raising koinobori (streamers shaped like koi fish), to represent each member of the family and to bring luck to their children. Inside Japanese homes, samurai helmets and dolls are displayed, as well as Iris flowers. Traditional snacks for the holiday include kashiwa-mochi and chimaki.

INFO ABOUT WHITE DAY White Day is celebrated annually on March 14, one month after Valentine's Day, when people give reciprocal gifts to those who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day. It began in Japan in 1978; its observance has spread to several other East Asian nations like China, Taiwan, South Korea and countries worldwide.

SPARKY Now that Anahita mentioned it, it's interesting to see that Sparky's appearance is inspired by the Nine-tailed Fox (aka Kitsune). Kitsune are a yōkai/spiritual entity that are messengers of a God (aka Kami in Japanese). The more tails they have the more older, wiser and powerful they are. They are also a good omen to keep evil spirits away. Hence why Sparky can sense spiritual energy and has elemental powers.

RACOONS??? I think the raccoon looking mammals are actually a tanuki. Raccoon dogs (also known as a 'tanuki' or a Japanese raccoon dog) aren't raccoons - they're members of the canid (dog) family. They're native to the forests of Japan, Northern China, Korea, North Vietnam and Eastern Siberia.

RAIN IN SUMMER In most of Japan, the rainy season lasts from the beginning of June to mid July, while it affects the islands of Okinawa about one month earlier. Only Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido and the Ogasawara Islands get less affected by the rainy season. During the rainy season it does not rain every day.
