I saw the fireworks going off up close, the fireworks show held at Expo Commemorative Park ``The day the Expo night sky becomes art''



Expo Commemorative Park is the site of the Japan World Exposition held in 1970 and is home to the impressive Tower of the Sun. A 'new sensation art project of fireworks and music' will be held at this park, and I will report on what it was like.

The venue for 'The Day the Expo's Night Sky Became Art' was held in the east plaza of Expo'70 Commemorative Park.


Arriving at the venue, many people are entering.



The weather was sunny and the weather seemed a little warm for this time of year.



Mr. Tetsuo of Wareihan, who is a support ambassador for this event and is known as a fireworks fan. I had a chance to meet him, so I went. When asked about the highlights of winter fireworks, one person answered, ``The air is clear and the lights are clear, so you can see the fireworks beautifully.''

The event is finally starting. The event started with an explanation of fireworks by Tetsuo Waraihan. What you can see in the lower left is the back view of the Tower of the Sun.



At the opening of the main event, it was announced that ``the entire night sky will be colored with blue fireworks as an expression of our gratitude to all the medical workers,'' and there was a display of all-blue fireworks.



You can see the fireworks that were launched at the opening in the video below.

The fireworks that will be launched this time will be produced by five fireworks companies in the Kansai region.



There were many collaborations in which the music and fireworks were synchronized and laser beams were emitted during the climax of the song.



At times, there are scenes where fireworks fill the sky and people cheer.



Although the wind was calm and smoke was accumulating, the laser beam was very clearly visible.



Toward the end, the wind direction changed and the smoke began to dissipate. A scene that combines music, fireworks, laser beams, and the Tower of the Sun.



We also saw colorful fireworks.



At the finale, just like at the opening, blue fireworks were set off to express gratitude to the medical workers, and the approximately one-hour event, which featured 15 songs including original songs, came to an end.



When it comes to collaborations between fireworks and laser beams, it is often the case that the laser beams are used in a subdued manner, but in this ``Expo's Day when the Night Sky Becomes Art,'' there are many scenes in which they are involved in a 50/50 ratio, creating a new combination of fireworks and laser beams. It was an art event where people could express themselves. What's more, it was a very rewarding event as you could see fireworks from all the fireworks shops in the Kansai area, each with their own unique characteristics.
