What makes this event special in the Higashi-Mikawa region is the way it has a two-part production setup. The show uses two things that happen at the same time. There are music fireworks that come from the east side of the event area.. The festival has tezutsu hanabi. These are fireworks that people hold in their hands. Performers light the tezutsu hanabi, on the north side of the place. The tezutsu hanabi are really something to see. The Wind Ensemble Mine plays music live. The festival makes sure it matches up perfectly with the tezutsu hanabi fireworks.
This is a known brass band that is led by conductor Kuniyasu Minemura. Of using recorded music the event makes sure that the fireworks happen in perfect sync, with the live music. The fireworks match the rhythm, musical parts, and timing of the live performance.
The scale of the festival requires reserved seating areas across the expansive Toyokawa Park Lawn Area to accommodate visitors seeking a direct view of both the musical fireworks on the east axis and the traditional hand-held displays on the north perimeter. Because of its regional importance and signature live collaboration, the festival draws spectators from across Aichi Prefecture and neighboring regions every summer.
Why Experience It Live: Toyokawa Kagayaki Festival
I went to a hanabi taikai, which is a fireworks festival. It was really cool. But what made it even better was that there was a live brass band playing music. The fireworks going off in the sky and the sound of the brass band it was like nothing I have ever seen before. The loud fireworks were going off over the grass in the park and the music was playing at the time it was amazing. You just cannot get the feeling, from a recording. The Japanese hanabi taikai with the live brass band was really something.
When people travel to Japan from countries it can be really hard to figure out how to see the fireworks in different areas. This is because it is not easy to get seats in the areas and buy tickets from local people.. If you go to the Toyokawa Kagayaki Festival you can do something that most tourists do not do. You can be a part of a cool local tradition with thousands of people who live in the area. The Toyokawa Kagayaki Festival is a way to see what Japan is like, outside of the big cities.
