Wow! We're performing at the Chiba City Fireworks Display!

Yay! We get to watch fireworks with everyone!

I'm so excited, I'm bursting with joy! Tamaya! Yakan! Ah!

Why am I saying 'shiritori' (word chain game)?

Boru Juku - Anri (Center)

I have an important plan for this summer! It's an honor to be invited to this special event marking Chiba City's 900th anniversary. I'm thrilled to see so many spectacular fireworks. Thank you! I'm looking forward to meeting many of you!

This year's special fireworks display is finally here! I can't wait to see what kind of emotions await us. I want to enjoy the best fireworks with all of you!

I wonder if there will be delicious food too?

Fusooya - Tanaka Showtime (Left)

I've been dreaming of working with fireworks since I was in my mother's womb. I'm so happy to have this opportunity. I was a big fan of EXILE and loved their song 'FIREWORKS.' I've always wanted to work with fireworks, and now I'm here. Just like the song, I'm here to make fireworks shine brightly.

Hello everyone!!

Can you believe it? This year's display will feature a record 24,000 fireworks! Imagine doing 24,000 sit-ups.

You'd have rock-hard abs. Not just six-pack, but a hundred and eighty-pack! That's how amazing the view will be.

Barikata Friendship Meal - Matsushita Ryotaro (Left)

Before I became a comedian, I lived in Makuhari during my office worker days. Coming back here has been like a huge firework in my life!

Let's have fun together on the day!

Barikata Friendship Meal - Kanno Dai (Right)

I was actually planning to attend as a spectator this year, but I never imagined I'd be performing! I'm just as excited as all of you! Let's have fun! Fire! (Hyrulooo... Pan)
