The Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) announced today that the government plans to hold an official funeral for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was fatally shot at an election rally this month, on September 27. The funeral will take place at Nippon Budokan, a venue originally built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, which has since become a popular site for sporting events, concerts, and memorial ceremonies for World War II casualties held annually on August 3, according to Reuters.
