This new summer-only illumination dynamically depicts a large sunflower across the entire tower against the backdrop of a vibrant blue night sky. To coincide with the lighting, we will also be holding events such as a commemorative postcard giveaway and an Instagram photo and video contest.
 
[Thoughts behind the new work]
I created this piece with the hope and energy of sunflowers blooming powerfully towards the sun.
We will bring you bright smiles and unforgettable summer memories.
 
[Production details]
The first seven minutes feature a still image sequence of large sunflowers in full bloom against a blue sky.
The last three minutes of the video show feature a swallowtail butterfly appearing, triggering a transformation of sunflowers from rainbow colors to golden, culminating in a finale where countless sunflowers illuminate the night sky. The entire cycle is 10 minutes long.

    Milky way that symbolizes the night sky in summer

    The scale of the Milky Way flowing from the top of the tower emerges against the backdrop of the magnificent deep blue universe. The shooting star that occasionally appears gives wonder and joy to the Milky Way that shines colorfully based on white and slowly sways. Blink of an eye conspicuously shining a large triangle of summer in the star, Deneb ・ Vega (Orihime) ・ Altair (Hikoboshi). It is a constellation that symbolizes the summer night sky.

    Illuminations inspired by the waves and wind of Momochihama

    The illuminations are based on the symbolic color of Fukuoka Tower, blue, and are inspired by the waves and wind of Momochihama. The beautiful gradation that blends the boundary between the sea and the sky, and the V-line that accentuates the tower's silhouette, create a sophisticated design that stands out against the night sky.
