Featuring Hawaiian dance performances and live rock music, the event was a brilliant and festive celebration of the friendship between the two nations.

Using the night sky over Tokyo Bay as its stage, the drone show formed various motifs symbolizing the United States. It delivered a grand and luminous performance perfectly suited for the celebration.

Special performances depicting the Stars and Stripes and the Statue of Liberty in the night sky

In this show, drones recreated the Stars and Stripes, the Statue of Liberty, and other iconic motifs representing the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Additionally, “Spark,” the official mascot of the USA Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, also appeared in the night sky. The performance captured the attention of visitors as a symbol of the strong connection and future-oriented exchanges between Japan and the United States.

In tandem with the Rainbow Bridge light-up and the fireworks, the show successfully created a festive atmosphere that enveloped the entire Tokyo Bay area.
