This event is a festival of fireworks to be held in Araimachi Kosai, Shizuoka Prefecture in July every year.
This festival is to pray to God for a good harvest by fireworks. It is a rare festival in Japan.
This video is Called "Sarutahiko" at the climax of the festival program.
"Sarutahiko" is one of the God who appears in Japanese mythology.
All actors have lived in this town. And, these fireworks are made by them.

On this second video I like the guy at 10 seconds, he starts to get his pimp walk going.
