Red Cliff's Groundbreaking Drone Comedy Show

On September 2, 2025, Red Cliff, a leading company in drone show production based in Minato, Tokyo, orchestrated Japan's first-ever "drone comedy show". This innovative event marked a celebration for comedy duo Reiwa Roman, consisting of Kuruma Takahira and Kemuri Matsui, during their solo live performance.

The Unique Drone Comedy Experience

In a show lasting approximately 15 minutes, the pair presented an extraordinary form of aerial comedy, where Kuruma was visually represented in the sky by drones, engaging in comedic dialogue with Matsui. The sky lit up with iconic imagery, including the famous "Sanpachi Mic" and logos from the prestigious M-1 Grand Prix, where the duo has triumphed for two consecutive years. The event uniquely blended humor and technology, with Matsui providing real-time commentary as drones showcased messages in the air. This fusion created an unparalleled experience that seamlessly merged comedy with awe-inspiring visual elements.

A Memorable Finale

The grand finale brought yet another surprise, as a special announcement was made regarding Reiwa Roman’s long-awaited solo event, entitled "RE:IWAROMAN". This live show, set to occur on May 16, 2026, at K Arena Yokohama, was revealed through vibrant drone displays highlighting the date and lottery details for official ticket pre-sales. Additionally, a QR code for entry into this exciting lottery appeared in the sky, demonstrating the distinctive playful spirit of Reiwa Roman. The event concluded with both members sharing the spotlight, wrapping up the show on a celebratory note.

Collaboration Between Innovative Minds

The concept for this drone show emerged following shared recognition between Kuruma and Red Cliff's CEO, Koumei Sasaki, who were both honored as part of the "Forbes Japan 30 Under 30 2024". Their meeting during a business culture program, "3003 - San Zero Zero San", created a synergistic partnership that has opened doors to new artistic expressions. This fusion of comedy and technology is celebrated as a defining feature of contemporary entertainment.

Insights from Red Cliff’s Leadership

Koumei Sasaki expressed pride in this unique challenge of merging humor with technology, stating, "It is an honor to undertake this innovative venture together. Drones have transcended their role as mere performance tools; they have crossed paths with the essence of Japanese culture, generating unprecedented experiential value. We will continue to explore new forms that blend culture, entertainment, and technology."
