holiday)] ⎯An amazingly beautiful Christmas tree on the lake, will
appear at the 10th anniversary of
Universal Studios Japan®⎯ ⎯Forever Love Christmas, an

August 31, 2011 (Wed) Universal Studios Japan will celebrate its
10th anniversary with the theme of "the happiest surprise in its
Park history," holding a winter seasonal event, Universal Wonder
Christmas, for 63 days from November 8, 2011 (Tue) to January 9,
2012 (Mon, national holiday). The Christmas tree will be totally
different from last year's. A dazzling Christmas tree, beautifully
reflected on the surface of the lake, will appear on the lagoon
located in the center of the Park as a symbol of the Christmas
season. About 30 meters in height, it will be decorated with
numerous LED lights and ornaments in the shapes of snow crystals
and icicles. Guests can enjoy the magnificent sight of the tree
both in daytime and at night. On a floating stage with the
Christmas tree at its center, Forever Love Christmas, a romantic
and night fantasy lagoon show of spectacular lights will be
performed for the first time. In the daytime, Happy Snow Party, a
cheerful Christmas show, which amazes guests like a toy box given
as a Christmas gift, will be performed. Guests can enjoy Christmas
snow-fall together with Snowman and popular Park characters.
Moreover, Santa Claus, officially certified by the government of
Lapland, a province of Finland will come to the Park from Santa
Claus Village and stay at the Park during the Christmas period.
This event was held last year as well, and was very popular among
our guests. Universal Studios Japan will help our guests make
unique Christmas memories which they can experience only at
Universal Studios Japan. Experiencing Christmas mood-filled
Universal Studios Japan with loved ones, especially children who
will soon be grown, enjoying precious time together will result in
unforgettably wonderful memories. ◆ Eternal Love Changes a
Christmas Tree to Beautiful Lights⎯Forever Love Christmas
⎯Romantic, Spectacular and Night Fantasy Lagoon Show
Forever Love Christmas is a spectacular Christmas show performed
on the Lagoon located in the center of the Park after sunset. A
fantastic and romantic love story will be performed on the floating
stage set on the lake. At the climax of the story, spectators will
see the most beautiful scene they've ever experienced, produced
with pyrotechnics, fantastic illuminations, and an
-
incredible number of lights emitted from the Christmas tree
reflecting on the surface of the Lagoon. This exciting experience
shared with their beloved will be worth everything for our guests.

[Story] Once upon a time, there was a Christmas tree on a lake. It
was said that the Fairy of Love
was living in that tree. The Prince of the North Lake Land and
the Princess of the South Lake Land set out for the Christmas tree
to confirm their eternal love. On the way to the tree, they worked
together to overcome obstacles like deep forest and a lake. Finally
when their love became eternal, the Christmas tree lit up
brilliantly as a symbol of their eternal love.
◆ Happy Snow Party⎯Enjoy Exciting Christmas Party with Popular
Park Characters Happy Snow Party, which was a very popular
Christmas event last year, will be held this year as well. Familiar
and popular Park characters including Woody Woodpecker™, Elmo from

atmosphere. Cute gestures of the characters will bring smiles to
the faces of our guests. Moreover, snow falls at the end of the
