Special interview! Hideno Sugano talks about "Adachi Fireworks"! The most dense fireworks in Japan

It was three years ago that our team was involved in directing "Adachi Fireworks" for the first time. This is the fourth time.
Only Adachi City is working on directing a fireworks display. It was also the first field.

The first thing I noticed was the keyword "co-creation", which is the Adachi City philosophy. It means "making together".
For example, it is the production that shakes "the thing that shines" such as a psyllium and a mobile phone to the music, but it is normal at live.
However, it is unusual as a production in the fireworks display.
And you can participate regardless of age.
I thought that I would like you to see the side that you see and the side that you are making "I'm creating a fireworks display together".
Continuance is a power, and last year saw some people bringing their own lights.
I am glad to have you actively enjoy it.

One of the freshest things I did when I was directing was that I could talk directly with the pyrotechnician.
When I directed the fireworks as a part of the music festival, I was talking through the stage director.
In "Adachi Fireworks" we talked directly with the fireworksians, and the degree of expert has been transmitted from the strength and thinking of the mind.
That's why it seems that if you only convey the song selection and the outline concept, you will leave it to you.
The firefighters who work on "Adachi Fireworks" are highly professional people.
I believe that if you do a great selection of songs, you will be able to respond with great fireworks.

Fireworks are a trump card in the production of the music festivals produced so far.
We have cleared the conditions one by one with the produced "TOKAI SUMMIT" (large outdoor festival held in summer in the Tokai region) and launched fireworks in the third year.
As a result, the number of mobilization increases. It seems that there was a special feeling that "we could see fireworks when we came to the festival".
In the case of "Adachi Fireworks", "If you came to see fireworks, you could also listen to music."

Cheers! Adjustment of music and fireworks is 0.5 seconds unit

One of the attractions of "Adachi Fireworks" is collaboration with music.
The music selection is done after carefully considering the characteristics of the fireworks.
It is important not only to be a "hit song" that more people know, but also to choose a song that suits the fireworks.
It is a song that has a tonality of vocals and composition, a high-pitched song, and various elements.
Music should not only be enjoyed by a specific age.
On the other hand, I want the audience to feel the level of culture and surprise.
We are doing in a world where we choose edged things, otherwise we can not survive.
So, I have a hard time choosing music.
We make adjustments every last year and always think that there are other correct answers.
I think that making things has always been like this.

Last year, it was the music of a popular group of electronic music that matched the production of the laser.
This song selection also has the pride that it can not be done without knowing the music properly.
It is easy to put a lock if you choose simply, but remove it.
The laser is not a lock, so it's a perfect match for the computer music you're driving from.

And the most important thing in the relationship between fireworks and music is timing.
Only "between" can not be removed by any means. This point is confirmed with the fireworks teacher many times.
In the past, it was adjusted by 0.5 seconds at the time of rehearsal. When it makes a half beat, it is transmitted to the audience.
The voice "Oops!" Does not rise when there is a sense of discomfort.

About 13,000 shots are launched nonstop in one hour, so dense fireworks can not be seen elsewhere.
This concentration can be said to be the best in Japan.
Music and directing are supporting roles, the main is dense fireworks.
Don't go beyond fireworks, no matter how great the rendition.
So I'm thinking about boosting fireworks with casually advanced techniques.

"Adachi Fireworks" had been firing fireworks before we were involved with the music.
It has not changed now.
If we have changed since we were involved, we have to think deeply and "calculate" behind the director.
In addition, make the audience not feel the calculations. It is necessary to work out the calculation.

"Erase" is the work of finishing.
When it comes to the production of music albums, it is "mastering (final adjustment of sound quality and songs)".
Finally, you become one spectator and check if you can shake your emotions.
It's not the studio's finest equipment, but the media that people who buy it listen to.
When I say in the old days, it's a junior high school student's feeling and it's like a boombox.
Fine-tune in that and "calculate" will disappear.
The same is true for "Adachi Fireworks".
So whether you can get an OK as "amateur" instead of "professional".
If you can see the calculations, you will never get excited.
I will check it in my own sense.

Laser to lock, ninja too? Attention is here!

The theme of this year's opening is "NINJA".
From the keyword Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, I thought it as a Japanese-style effect transmitted to people of all ages, both domestically and internationally.
Leading performance teams are scheduled to appear in the world.
However, the ninja show is what raises expectations before ignition.
Even though there are surprises in appearance, it is searching for a balance that does not change that fireworks become the leading role.

Music adopts lock at request from Adachi City.
It is unknown how far the fireworks fit.
Fireworks and locks are so strong that they are difficult to match.
Can you make it comfortable and smooth? I'm working hard now.

Laser production that was well received last year is not the same as last year.
This time, of course, for the first time, I would like to see astonished those who watched last time.
But, anyway, it is the best to think that it was wonderful this year.
How do you feel? Please feel at the venue on the day.
