I went to a commemorative event to shoot a beam from the eyes of the sun tower, "Tower of the Sun Tower Golden Face"

As part of the "40th Anniversary of the Japan World Exposition", the eyes of the "golden face" of the sun tower for the first time in 40 years after the closing of the Expo have been lit permanently from the day today. As the first day 's lighting commemoration event, I went to see the show of fireworks and laser beams at the sun open space.

A photo report on what kind of feeling it was like is from the following.

Confirm sun tower from monorail


Something like eye part is different from usual ... ...


Approaching the Tower of the Sun


This part of the face is like this


It seems that it will light about 5 minutes from about 19 o'clock.


On March 27th and 28th we can not get close to the sun tower.


Also I'm going to do an eventual production of lasers & fireworks, but I do not know what to do


Do you use this ...? There are various kinds of machines that are scattered at the feet.


It seems that we plan to do some ceremonies here. Many people were reporting loudly.


Umen


A lick



See your face in a dough


Further up


The part of the eyes is a light projector


So I decided to wait for it to be night.


It got darker gradually


It seems to light up when you push the switch over there, that key hole is united ...?


Cold. A trap that it was "I wanted to wear" everything when trying to buy something warm on a nearby vending machine.


The number of people has increased sharply. People on the TV station are on the stepladder.


Boy & girl practicing inserting a key in the key hole.


It is almost time to start. It seems to be from 19 o'clock.


Then the event began, and after the countdown, it finally lit! Pika Shine!


After this, the event of the laser & fireworks continues further, but please see from this next article (there is a link at the bottom).


Pika


Obviously it is unpleasant. It is equally unruly even if you see it at a distance or nearby. It is an eyeball that shines brightly in the dark night.


It shines like this.


I do not know what to do as I am too dignified.


It is really superb. It seems that it was lit for the first time in 40 years, but the eyeball of the golden face was lit by a xenon floodlight which emits strong light with permission for a limited period from the Ministry of Transport (then) at the time of the exposition. This time I renewed the LED projector that does not put the load on the environment, and it revived the life of the sun tower.


Cracked.


So, the movies of events that were pretty gaudy are from below.
