Kaguzuchi (KAGUZUCHI) is confirmed to perform at STAR ISLAND again this year!
Kaguzuchi, a light and fire entertainment group, will appear at the futuristic fireworks entertainment event 'STAR ISLAND 2026,' to be held on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Odaiba Marine Park, Tokyo. The collaboration between Kaguzuchi and STAR ISLAND began with the first event in 2017 and marks its 10th year this year.
### A New Challenge: From the Beach to the Offshore Float
In 2024 and 2025, Kaguzuchi deployed fire effects across a 600-meter stretch of beach. This year, the team, which has previously performed on sands spanning hundreds of meters, will launch a new performance on the waters of Tokyo Bay.
In the unique environment of the sea, approximately 60 meters away from the audience, the heat emitted by human performers will merge with the latest technology. The flames reflected on the dark sea surface will provide an unprecedented three-dimensional experience.
### Fire, Water, and Tracks of Light on the Surface
In addition to the flames on the water, 12,000 fireworks, 800 drones, and a live string ensemble will unfold in complete synchronization with a 90-minute script. The visual impact provided in this extraordinary 'on-water' space will evolve into an experience distinct from previous STAR ISLAND events.
### What is 'STAR ISLAND'?
STAR ISLAND is a futuristic fireworks entertainment brand launched by Avex in 2017 to pass down Japan's traditional fireworks culture to the next generation. It pursues new expressions by fusing fireworks, music, and technology. To date, 11 performances have been held in world-class locations such as Singapore and Saudi Arabia, attracting over 15 million people cumulatively.
