Red Cliff's Drone Show: Bringing Energy to the Skies
In an exciting development for 2026, Red Cliff, a Tokyo-based company specializing in drone shows, has announced its partnership with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. to manage and direct an interactive drone performance as part of their Oolong Drink project titled "Energetic Singing in the Sky 2026." This initiative will travel across four locations nationwide, continuing the vibrant tradition established in previous years.
The project takes its inspiration from Oolong Drink's tagline, "Delivering Energy across Japan," which expresses a heartfelt desire to spread joy and vitality throughout the nation. This year marks the continuation of a special event under this banner, initiated during the 60th anniversary celebration of Oolong Drink’s launch. Last year's event spanned five locations across Hokkaido, Akita, Saitama, Kumamoto, and Tokushima, captivating audiences by inviting them to raise their voices and sing while gazing at floating musical notes and lyrics painted by drones in the night sky.
For 2026, the drone show will be staged in Shizuoka, Tokyo, Oita, and Osaka. Red Cliff is set to create a unique experience, engaging attendees in a spectacular evening of music and light.
The magnificent display will feature approximately 1,300 drones that will light up the night with representations of musical notes, lyrics, and Oolong Drink themes. Attendees will be invited to join in a communal singing of the iconic song "Ai wa Katsu" by renowned singer-songwriter KAN, resulting in a fusion of sound and illuminated visuals that will transform the venue into an immersive environment shared by all.
On the ground, audience members will enjoy complimentary chilled Oolong Drinks, original fans, and glowing penlights (available while supplies last). This summer extravaganza promises to deliver unforgettable memories, inviting both returning and first-time participants to enjoy a magical evening beneath the stars.
