[300 Lights Illuminating the Festive Night] AGEHARIDe's Drone Show 'LIGHTDANCe' Soared in the Sky to Commemorate TOTTEI KOBE's 1st Anniversary

On April 11-12, 2026, AGEHARIDe landed in Kobe, hosting the first LIGHTDANCe in Shinminato-cho. 300 LIGHTDANCe drones ascended into the sky above TOTTEI for two consecutive nights. AGEHARIDe Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ken Kato; hereinafter 'AGEHARIDe'), which plans and operates the drone show 'LIGHTDANCe' with the theme of integrating sound and light, conducted 'LIGHTDANCe Charge & Go! (300-drone version)' at sea off TOTTEI KOBE for two days, April 11-12, 2026. This performance commemorated TOTTEI's first anniversary and was its first appearance in the Kansai region. —'LIGHTDANCe' illuminates the night of Kobe and the hearts of those who witness it. At 'TOTTEI,' the forefront of entertainment in Kobe, approximately 7,000 spectators (estimated total over two days) gathered to celebrate the first anniversary of its opening, looking up at the night sky in anticipation of LIGHTDANCe. On a clear evening, a large crowd gathered by the water, eagerly awaiting the start. At 19:00, exactly on schedule, 300 lights appeared, and LIGHTDANCe began. The drones successively drew various formations, synchronizing with AAA's song 'Charge & Go!' (lyrics by our representative, Kenn Kato). ~Who did you think of at that moment?~ At the end of the song, a message appeared in the night sky: 'If you just smile, that's all I need.' Adults showed expressions of deep thought, while children eagerly read the words. The message wished for this port, which has supported Kobe's development for over 100 years, to continue to be a place full of smiles, leaving the 'thoughts held in each person's heart' as a gift of memory. These two days illuminated both the history and the future of Kobe. This landing in Kobe also marked AGEHARIDe's first step towards a long-cherished dream. https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000015.000165841.html During the 11-minute performance, the reflection on the water surface also shone beautifully.
