To promote the 2025 Osaka Expo, hundreds of drones and thousands of fireworks lit up the sky at the planned site for the event. SKYMAGIC LIVE PTE. LTD., known for creating original shows using drones, put on the show on Yumeshima, a man-made island in Osaka’s Konohana Ward on September 25, 2022. The event was the first large-scale outdoor drone show in the Kansai region, with 800 LED-equipped drones flying through the night sky. Nearly 15,000 visitors were in attendance at this spectacular event. The event aims to promote a hopeful future in which Japan thrives after the impact of the pandemic, and also aims to promote the upcoming Expo to people around the world. 45,000 fireworks were set off, marking one of the largest fireworks displays in Japan. Launched to rid the area of bad luck, guests will likely never forget the unique display of futuristic technology and traditional fireworks. As the fireworks show began, countless drones took off one after another into the sky. As many would expect, Myak Myak, the official character of the Osaka/Kansai Expo, appeared above the crowd, standing 135 meters tall and 80 meters wide. A countdown to the Expo appeared after, with the Let’s Go Expo 2025 logo shining in the sky, made entirely by synchronized drones. Archived live footage of the event is also available.
Ryota Shirahama, chairman of the event’s organizing committee, made a comment regarding the impressive event. “Japan’s resurgence is about to begin,” he said. “The world has been looking down, and we want it to look up. We want people to look towards the future–that’s the goal of this project. Yes, there was a pandemic. But like the phoenix seen during the drone show, we can start over. I hope that those who saw the show will be inspired to take a new step forward.” Information

The Orai Tourism Association will be reopening the Orai Sun Beach in Araimachi, Ibaraki, which was closed due to Covid-19, between October 16 and October 31 to host the limited-time 'Sunahama Library.' The event was hugely popular when it was held in 2020.
In the Summer of 2020, beaches throughout Japan were closed to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The Orai Tourism Business Strategy Team held multiple meetings, searching for a way to allow people to enjoy the Orai seaside despite the situation. They realized that people may not want to get burned, or be covered in sand, or even get wet, but still want to be able to feel the sea. The conclusion the team came to was to open a library on the sandy beach, where visitors could enjoy the Orai sea without worry. Get comfy with a good book while surrounded by the beautiful Orai beachfront at the 'Sunahama Library.' Information
Sunahama Library
Location: Orai Sun Beach
Duration: October 16 ~ October 31 2021
Opening Hours:
Weekdays: 11:00 ~ 15:00
Saturday, Sunday (Reservations get priority entry): 10:00 ~ 16:00
Entry Fee: ¥500
Reservations can be made via the official Sunahama Library webpage.
