thing where fireworks are being exploded around japan without any notice whatsoever to give hope to people but this one fireworks festival uh for me was where we could come all together and i could bring the only japan community here and through fireworks just for an hour just for a moment we could stop thinking about all the bad stuff in the world and just focus on something that's just gives us hope for something bigger and better in the future i've heard the messages from so many viewers out there that that they're hurting that they've lost family members or you know i my heart really goes up for that you can see that oh that's the fireworks staff and the on the other side waving to us can you hold that can i sure [Music] oh [Music] there you go that's the end of the only japan

🙏 Had to use the washroom in the middle of the night and browsed Reddit and caught the fireworks just as they began, thanks
