thread_title: Additions to the article

message: The first paragraph is very confusing about whether New Years, as discussed in the article, is celebrated on the day of the Chinese New Year or the Gregorian one.  Please specify in the first few sentences.  --LakeHMM 06:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; the introductory section was confusing. I've addressed the date issue and restored the focus to the manner of celebration by moving the pre-Meiji date material to a new History section. – RVJ (talk) 06:27, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Is it true that new year in Okinawa is the same day as Chinese New Year?  Can someone please add details to the article?  Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.103.183.207 (talk) 20:47, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There are plenty of references online regarding the Little/Lesser New Year festival in Japan, that it occurs around January 15th, that it is a national festival, etc. Encyclopedia of Shinto and Ecumenical Buddhism, Daoism, & Confucianism for instance. Please at least do some Google research before making requests. The wiki article seems to have been "lifted" from here where there is more info.  LookingGlass (talk) 13:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  New year in Ryukyus 

message: As far as I know (as a Japanese living in Japan) the Ninth is never performed in the new year. The article says "New Years season" and if you include the end of the year as "New Years season" it is correct, but this is not a new years event or celebration. You can see the  Japanese wiki article on the Ninth  and other Japanese sources will say 年末 (end of the year) not 年始 (new year).
