The theme of this night is 'Culture.' Both teams will showcase their countries' unique cultural traits through the language of fireworks. The Japanese representatives, known for their refinement and creativity, promise displays rich in Eastern aesthetics. Meanwhile, the Italian team, with its wealth of experience, will surely not hesitate to 'make waves' over the Han River sky.
