Universal Studios Japan breaks Christmas tree light record

Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Guinness World Records said Universal Studios Japan has once again broken the world record for most lights on an artificial Christmas tree.

The park, which first obtained the record with its Christmas decorations in 2011, has broken its own record each year since then, with this year's record being set at 580,806 lights.

The Osaka theme park added more than 10,000 lights to last year's total, which Guinness lists at 570,546.

"The Universal Illusion Tree," as it's known at the park, features color-changing lights with "innumerable luminous expressions," Universal Japan said.
