There was a New Year’s Eve-like atmosphere in Japan on Tuesday night. With Emperor Akihito having officially abdicated the throne earlier in the day, much of the country decided to stay up until the stroke of midnight, when the 30-year Heisei period, as Akihito’s reign was called, came to an end.And just like on New Year’s Eve, some people went out to party, like the people in the video below (from Twitter user @sui_uj) in the Namba neighborhood of Osaka. Namba is the city’s most popular party place, with a dense concentration of bars and restaurants plus picturesque views near the Dotonbori canal. Partiers often meet up and mingle atop the Ebisubashi bridge, but it’s not unusual for said partiers, fueled by bravado, alcohol, or some combination of the two, to leap off the bridge and into the water.Usually this happens after victories by the local Hanshin Tigers pro baseball team, but with the Heisei period winding down, one young man decided it was time for one last leap from the ledge. Shouting, “Heisei, thank you!”, he ran forward, bounded over the railing, and plummeted……right onto the deck of a sightseeing boat that was passing underneath the bridge at that exact moment.The sightseeing cruise quickly returned to the dock, where the operating company’s employees attempted to provide first aid, but the man refused their assistance and walked off, with his injuries, if any, apparently minor enough that he felt he didn’t require immediate medical treatment.
