Drone Display at Tokyo’s Odaiba Sends Message of Support to People Affected by Kumamoto Earthquake

A special show featuring 800 small drones was held at Odaiba Seaside Park in Minato Ward, Tokyo, on Saturday and Sunday, which displayed a message of support to people affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake.

On Saturday and Sunday, a special drone display took place at Odaiba Seaside Park in Tokyo's Minato Ward, showcasing a message of solidarity to those impacted by the recent Kumamoto Earthquake. The drone formation, consisting of 800 small drones, artfully depicted various images, such as the iconic Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms, as they soared above Tokyo Aqua Symphony, a renowned fountain illuminated by water jets synchronized with music.

At the conclusion of each performance, the drones displayed the message "Gambaro, Kumamoto" in support of reconstruction efforts in the affected regions, following the devastating quake that occurred last month. Additionally, a QR code directing users to a donation site and donation boxes were conveniently available at the venue.

An official from the Tokyo metropolitan government expressed their hope that the display would extend their thoughts and support to the disaster-stricken areas alongside the park's visitors.
