[4K] THE GREATEST JAPANESE FIREWORKS (shot on Samsung NX1, BMPCC4K and BMPCC6K)

Recently, I realized there is a large uptick in viewings of our fireworks videos, at every year-end.　
Watching firework is a popular summertime activity in Japan--the Japanese tend to watch fireworks videos mainly during the summer. I assume that the many viewers watching our fireworks videos at year-end are overseas. This makes sense to me, particularly because it seems that watching fireworks to welcome the new year is a popular activity outside of Japan.
I decided to make this video and upload it in this period of time, especially for our overseas viewers so that they can see how amazing Japanese fireworks are.
This video includes my favorite fireworks displays from six different fireworks festivals.
I picked these fireworks festivals not only for my love of them but also because of the previous popularity with our overseas viewers.
There are many other great fireworks displays in Japan. Please check out our other fireworks videos and I will continue to upload further Japanse firework displays on this channel.
Here is some information on the six fireworks festivals in this video:
1. Nagaoka Fireworks Festival from 0:11
When: 2nd and 3rd of August (the dates may change in 2020)
Where: Nagaoka, Niigata, Japan
Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is one of the most popular and famous fireworks festivals in Japan.
There are many large scale displays, including 90cm (36 inches) diameter shells. The "Phoenix" display is undoubtedly the highlight of this festival. Viewers tend to love the Phoenix because it reflects a prayer for successful reconstruction of the damage caused by the Niigata Chuuetsu earthquake in 2004, the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and other Japanese disasters.
It is also a prayer for world peace and a wish to convert all world bombs into fireworks shells.
2. Ebisu-Ko Fireworks Festival from 6:00
When: 23rd of November
Where: Nagano, Nagano, Japan
Ebisu-Ko Fireworks Festival is one of the few large-scale fireworks festivals held in autumn.
I love this fireworks festival because two great fireworks (pyrotechnics) companies, Beniya Aoki Enka and Shinshu Enka, display their talent. They showcase their display at other festivals but here, the quality of their display is heightened and is rarely seen elsewhere.
The heightened quality of their displays maybe because both companies are local to Nagano city, where Ebisu-Ko is held.
3. Tonegawa Fireworks Festival from 14:48
When: mid-July (the date may change in 2020)
Where: Sakai, Ibaraki, Japan
Tonegawa Fireworks Festival has been growing each year. I think their fireworks display has the best scale and is the most attractive fireworks festival held near Tokyo for now.
Four great fireworks (pyrotechnics) companies, Yamazaki Enka, Nomura Hanabi Industry, Beniya Aoki Enka and Marugo, showed beautiful displays this year. Just last year, only three pyrotechnic companies had participated in this festival, which is indicative of the festival's growth.
4. Kuwana Suigo Fireworks Festival from 25:45
When: late July (the date may change in 2020)
Where: Kuwana, Mie, Japan
Kuwana Suigo Fireworks Festival is held in a small town named Kuwana, near Nagoya, the biggest city in central Japan.
This fireworks festival is famous for 60cm (24 inches) diameter shells, which rise 500m high and opens to 600m in diameter. We can see about 20 of the 24-inch shells during the festival every year.
My favorite fireworks (pyrotechnics) company, Ina Kako Horiuchi Enka's, 24-inch shells are simply amazing and their accompanying soundtrack is always outstanding.
5. Shinmei Fireworks from 39:26
When: 7th of August (10th of October in 2020)
Where: Ichikawa-Misato, Yamanashi, Japan
Shinmei Fireworks has been one of my favorite fireworks festivals for a while. My favorite fireworks (pyrotechnics) company, Marugo, shows their best work at this festival.
I have seen Marugo's fireworks displays in many festivals such as Nagaoka, Tonegawa, Akagawa, among others, but the display here is undoubtedly special.
Similarly to Ebisu-Ko, Marugo is located in Yamanashi where Shinmei is held. Therefore this display is also heightened quality which is rarely seen outside of Shinmei.
This show is one of my all-time favorites.
6. Akagawa Fireworks Festival from 44:42
When: mid-August (15th of August in 2020)
Where: Tsuruoka Yamagata
Akagawa Fireworks Festival is my favorite fireworks festival in Japan.
We can see many large-scale displays from great fireworks (pyrotechnics) companies such as Isogai Enka, Marugo, Beniya Aoki Enka, Ina Kako Horiuchi Enka, and others.
In 2020, they will hold a special display commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Akagawa Fireworks Festival--I just can't wait for this.

To a truly beautiful country, and equally beautiful people! You have the BEST and most beautiful fireworks displays in the World! Thank you! ❣️🎆🎇😊

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

The fireworks are one of Japanese summer features. Look at the sky! What a beautiful firework display!

[@istrumguitars]

The U.S. likes to assume ownership over fireworks because of Independence Day, yet I’ve never seen a fireworks show here that didn’t cheap out compared to this glorious display

[@glnassa5589]

Fantastic fireworks indeed. I think lot of money is spent on this festival. We are proud of Japan and the Japanese culture. All the very best.

[@WFKZN]

These fireworks are really wonderful. It is hard to imagine how many people need to work hard behind such beautiful fireworks.

[@t_dejan9064]

There was a docuentary of how they make it. Prettu amazing stuff, check it out its called "How Japanese Fireworks are Made & Launched ★ ONLY in JAPAN"

A truly awesome fireworks display. I wish I could go to Japan to watch one of these in person. Their fireworks are the best!

[@bettierusso5410]

What fabulous memories this brings back to my mind. When I was a little girl in 1968, I lived in Japan, Okinawa, and remember the fabulous fireworks that put the rest of the world to shame in fireworks. Such a great video. Thanks for the wonderful memories that stuck to my old brain and heart and I never forgot them. Now all these years later, with KZbin, I can share them with my grandchildren & great-granddaughter. Great Video but even better to be there.!😃😄😁

[@cahuynh7599]

These Japanese fireworks are all unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[@mjookie]

Living in Britain (yeah I know 😟) this makes me realise I’ve never seen a real display, just a bunch of fireworks randomly bunged in the air. What you have is ART, each more beautiful then the last. Thank you for sharing.XX

[@galghoul3042]

Fireworks are already magical, but Japan truly takes it to another level.

[@user-zp1mt7jk2t]

最初のやつは長岡花火っぽいね、実際に見たことあるけどほんとに感動した！長岡空襲の復興のために打ち上げられた歴史のある花火なので1回は見てほしい！

[@user-rj5zx1vy7g]

花火って目で音で振動で楽しむものだと思います 昨今は至る所で大音量のBGMを流して打ち上げますが、私は花火本来の光、音、静寂を楽しみたいです

[@jamesjacobsen7824]

こういう文言をコメント欄でよく見かけるが、それで状況が変わるわけではない。 わざわざこんな動画を覗きにきておいて、無駄な文句垂れるくらいなら 動画消すなり他の動画を探すなりすればいいし、他の音楽なし花火大会に行けばいい。 音楽なし大会なんて、探せばいくらでもあるけど。 自分もかつては「花火に音楽いらない」と思っていたことがある。 自分の居る九州では音楽花火の導入が遅れているから、なかなか見る機会がない。 だが、20数年前に、一度現場で音楽プログラムを観て圧倒され、それからは本州各地の大会へ足を運び続けている。 所詮「食わず嫌い」だったということ。 貴方もそうじゃないの？一度は現場で体験してもらいたい。それでも嫌なら他の音楽なし大会へ行けばよろしい。

[@MorettiPyrotechnicsLLC]

No one does it better. I was balling the first 5 seconds.just unbelievable.

[@enoughisenough4600]

Most amazing fireworks display I have ever seen so far!!!

[@dangooch5267]

The display starting at about 45:40 is probably the best I have ever seen. The shells beginning at about 47:00 are more elaborate than any I have seen elsewhere. I am relatively new to Japanese firework displays but have seen a LOT of firework videos. if this is more common than I imagine please forgive my inexperience. It is worth your time no matter!

【日本の花火は芸術！】 海外の人達が日本を訪れると、 街並みにしても、すべてが根底に 美的感覚があふれていると言う。 花火にしても同様で、美的であり、 芸術と感じるのではないでしょうか。 外国の花火はとても単純で、単に打ち上げているだけ。 だからこそ、日本の花火を見ると、 海外の人達は驚きと感動が 入り混じった感情になるのでしょう。 そして、深く心に刻まれるはずです。
