Almost all 390 people who were detained during festivities on Berlin streets on New Year's Eve, many due to dangerous use of fireworks that also caused harm to several police officers, have been released again, police said on Tuesday. One man is still being remanded in custody, the police said. The identities of most of the detained suspects were established directly on site or at a nearby police station on New Year's Eve or early in the new year, after which they were released, a police spokesman said on Tuesday. Security authorities later said that three arrest warrants had been issued. In t...

No one can predict the future, but this New Year’s Eve probably won’t measure up to Dec. 31, 1973, when future rock titans Journey and AC/DC both played their very first concerts on the same night. The Journey lineup featured at this San Francisco show was very different from the pop-friendly version of the band that ruled arena rock in the ’80s. Keyboardist Jonathan Cain (who joined in 1980) and singer Steve Perry (1977) were nowhere to be found. Instead, attendees witnessed a progressive rock-leaning semi-supergroup led by former Santana members Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie. The lineup also fe...

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, and you can’t spew thousands of fireballs without setting your hair on fire a few times. Just ask Gene Simmons of Kiss. Simmons estimated during an 1999 online chat that he’d already set his own hair aflame “probably six or seven times.” The first time it happened was Dec. 31, 1973, when Simmons debuted his now-signature fireball-spewing trick during the night’s performance of “Firehouse.” Simmons pulled off the stunt by spitting a mouthful of kerosene onto a torch during a show at the Academy of Music in New York City. Kiss was opening for...

During Japan’s Shogatsu (New Year), there is the tradition of osechi ryori, or, roughly translated, seasonal cuisine. Osechi are like specially prepared holiday bento boxes, which started in the Heian Period (794-1185). The meal-prep is meant to minimize activity in the kitchen during the New Year, giving the gods and everyone else (especially women) some much-deserved rest. The contents of osechi are an encouraging array of foods that represent different hopes and dreams for the coming year. These foods are carefully arranged in stacked boxes called jubako. Each tier offers a course of appeti...

If you usually start the year partying and stuffing your face with food, spending the holiday in Japan could strike you as oddly quiet and devoid of glitter. Despite what it may appear on the surface, New Year’s is a major holiday in Japan, and December is spent bubbling with preparations for it. The first days of the year are for relaxing. Many opt to spend the chilly evenings sharing meals with their family under the warmth of a kotatsu (a table with a heat source). But that breezy start is only possible thanks to meticulous planning diligently carried out the days before. People in Japan de...
