I also participated in the Inashiki fireworks festival in Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture for the first time. I remember waiting for the time to come, thinking that the location was perfect and that I could take pictures including reflections. The weather was nice and the conditions were perfect. In the first half, there was a lot of cheers and applause. But here's the big problem... When the star mine went up, the smoke stagnated and covered the smoke all over the venue, making it almost invisible... As you can see, The second picture was already on fire ... I could feel that the tension from the surroundings was dropping all at once, but in a sense, this was a rare fireworks to see lol. It was such a fireworks festival that I wanted to get revenge next year.

I went to the Takasaki Festival fireworks festival in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture for the first time. While being watched over by Takasaki White Robe Daikannon, which is a landmark of Takasaki City, the fireworks festival ended without rain. The next tournament was short, but the fireworks was great, with 15,000 shots in 45 minutes. Before the start, lightning was happening in various places and rain clouds were gathering, but only the area around my area near Takasaki White Robe Daikannon was covered with clouds and there was no cloud overhead. It started raining right after the end of the fireworks festival, so it was a valuable experience that I thought was saved from raining thanks to Kannon-sama.
