It's very clear that 08.07.2005 is the right date in this case. Especially official pages often list the "wrong" dates and don't include times making it harder to spot such cases. It's recommended to check a Tv schedule with times like http://cal.syoboi.jp if possible.

24h+ fun


(or "Why Japanese are extremely funny people who use 24:00+ times")

Japan uses a different timesystem than most other countries as they use 24:00, 25:00, 26:00. instead of 00:00, 01:00 and 02:00. Lets make an example to show what this means.

Example:
Hachimitsu to Clover
Tv Schedule

  • 2005-07-07(木) 26:00

In regular (not Japanese time) this means:

  • 08.07.2005 2:00

It's very clear that 08.07.2005 is the right date in this case. Especially official pages often list the "wrong" dates and don't include times, making it harder to spot such cases. It's recommended to check a Tv schedule with times like http://cal.syoboi.jp if possible.

Conclusion: DON'T creq dates 1 day back if you don't know the airtime.
ALWAYS present your source for date changes!
