Red Cliff to Attempt Two Guinness World Records at Osaka Kansai Expo
In a thrilling announcement for the upcoming 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo, Red Cliff Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, will join the event as a platinum partner. The company is set to showcase a spectacular drone show every night over the 184-day duration of the expo, operating under the theme "One World, One Planet."
Scheduled to start on April 13, 2025, the show will involve an impressive 1,000 drones that will light up the night sky of Osaka with astonishing visuals. The highlight will be the special performance on the opening day, where the exact number of drones will remain a surprise. Throughout the expo, Red Cliff will be pursuing two Guinness World Records, making their participation not only an entertainment spectacle but also a record-breaking endeavor that captures global attention.
The nightly drone shows will be a central feature of the expo’s “One World, One Planet” program. This dazzling display promises to blend cutting-edge technology with art, offering attendees a unique experience that spans both reality and digital realms. Rooted in the theme of “hope,” the shows aim to connect people and inspire future possibilities.
