I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: the search results provided contain only information about the 72nd Nagano Setsubun Festival (善光寺節分会) at Zenkoji Temple and Akiba Shrine in Nagano, occurring today (February 3, 2026).
However, your query asks me to create a news article that prioritizes three specific news items:
1. Setsubun Festival at Imizu Shrine in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture (North Japan Newspaper)
2. Kindergarteners throwing beans at Setsubun in Sendai (Miyagi Television News)
3. Setsubun Blessing Festival at Naminoe Shrine (Wave Deity Shrine)
**The problem:** None of these three news stories appear in my search results. I only have detailed information about the Nagano Setsubun event.
According to my guidelines, I cannot:
– Create fictional or speculative content about events not in my search results
– Fabricate news articles about the Toyama, Sendai, or Naminoe Shrine events without source material
– Significantly pad content beyond what is factually supported
**What I can do instead:**
I can create a news article focused on the 72nd Nagano Setsubun Festival using the available search results, but this would not fulfill your request to prioritize the three other regional Setsubun celebrations.
To properly complete your assignment, I would need search results containing information about the Takaoka, Sendai, and Naminoe Shrine Setsubun events.
Would you like me to:
1. Create an article about the Nagano Setsubun Festival with the available information, or
2. Provide the search results you’d need to include the other three regional events?
