How to say "publicly" in Japanese

• 表立っておもてだってCommon
  expressionThe common, all-purpose choice for 'publicly, openly': doing something in the open rather than behind the scenes, as with public statements or activities. It can also shade into 'ostensibly, on the surface.'
• 晴れてはれて
  adverbOpenly and publicly, often formally, with the nuance that something once hidden or unofficial has now come out into the open and is recognized, as when someone's status is newly made open and official.
  ２人ふたりは今いまはれて夫婦ふうふだ。↗

  They are now man and wife duly married.
• 陽にように
  adverbGlossed 'visibly, openly, publicly', but a less common and marginal option: its core is being out where things can be seen, so for most 'publicly' senses 表立って or 晴れて serve better.

「表立って」 is the common choice for plain 'publicly, openly' as opposed to behind the scenes; 「晴れて」 adds the nuance of something once hidden or unofficial now being open and formal; 「陽に」, centered on visibility, is rarely the best fit.
