[Regional Revitalization x Nighttime Economy] Case Study of Fire and Light Production that Transformed Shimonoseki's Night into Excitement is Released. Strengthening Nationwide Expansion for Local Governments and Tourism Events

Raikou Enbu Kaguzuchi (Kaguzuchi Inc.), which provides fire and light entertainment, performed at the "Kaikyo Night Market" held in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, on Saturday, March 21, 2026, where they showcased a fire and LED performance against the backdrop of the Kanmon Strait.

At the venue, which featured craft beers from all over Japan and about 50 food stalls, the fire and light show unfolded after sunset. The excitement was then seamlessly transitioned to a 300-drone show that followed immediately, creating a nighttime entertainment space where ground and aerial productions were synchronized.

An after-movie capturing the performance and the on-site enthusiasm has now been released on their official YouTube channel. They are strengthening consultation requests for performances and productions from local governments, tourism associations, event organizers, and production companies nationwide, as a successful case study for regional revitalization and nighttime economy promotion.

Nighttime Entertainment with Fire and Light, Promoting Nighttime Stays and Circulation

For local governments and tourist destinations across Japan, promoting the "nighttime economy" to extend nighttime consumption and stay durations has become a crucial theme in regional events and tourism policies.

"Kaikyo Night Market" was held as a nighttime event combining food, music, markets, and a drone show, set against the Kanmon Strait. Kaguzuchi performed a special fire and LED show with five performers from 6:35 PM after sunset. Combining the power of real fire with visual effects from LED equipment, they energized the venue as a main nighttime attraction that captured the audience's attention.

Immediately following the ground performance, a 300-drone show illuminated the night sky. The continuous flow from the ground fire to the aerial lights heightened audience anticipation and their desire to stay, generating an uninterrupted buzz throughout the venue.

"Ground Excitement" Connecting Before and After Drone Shows and Fireworks

In regional events, large-scale content such as fireworks and drone shows are powerful crowd-pullers. However, it is often a challenge to produce the time before and after such events to encourage visitors to stay longer and circulate within the venue.

Kaguzuchi's fire and LED performances combine music, lighting, fire, and light, creating high visibility and an extraordinary experience even in limited spaces. Their productions can be configured to suit various locations, such as night markets, port areas, public squares, commercial facilities, hot spring towns, and nighttime events at tourist spots.

At this "Kaikyo Night Market," the coordination of food, market, fire performance, and drone show resulted in an experience designed to encourage visitors to stay longer in the night venue and to want to take photos and videos.

On-site Enthusiasm and Professional On-site Management Captured in the After-movie

The recently released after-movie not only features the dynamic performance against the backdrop of the Kanmon Strait but also includes scenes from their expedition from Tokyo to Shimonoseki, off-shots of enjoying local cuisine, and behind-the-scenes footage of building the stage in an empty seaside square.

For outdoor events, decisions based on on-site conditions such as wind, crowd flow, safety distances, loading/unloading, waiting areas, and fire management are indispensable. Kaguzuchi leverages its on-site experience gained from large-scale domestic and international events and corporate events to ensure safe operations and production design tailored to the venue environment.

"To create a safe and memorable nighttime experience that harnesses the local charm, regardless of the environment." That is the value Kaguzuchi offers to regional events.

Kaguzuchi Inc. proposes fire and light performances tailored to the scale and location of various events, including summer festivals, regional festivals, night markets, port events, hot spring town events, commercial facility events, corporate parties, and gala dinners.

Production content can be designed according to venue conditions, from outdoor plazas, seaside areas, riverbeds, and empty lots to indoor spaces such as hotels, halls, and commercial facilities.
