"First-ever cosplay event with flash photography against the backdrop of Mount Fuji and a grand fireworks display at Lake Yamanaka!"

"Answer, Inc., the organization behind cosplay events, in collaboration with 'Capsule - Mt. Fuji Lake Yamanaka Fireworks Music Festival' held in Yamanakako Village, will be hosting the 'Yamanakako Fireworks Cosplay Festival,' a cosplay event focused on photography, on September 23, 2023 (Saturday). Answer, Inc. is headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and is led by President and CEO Yuichi Isayu."

"An event that combines two of Japan's most iconic cultures, cosplay and fireworks, will be held at Lake Yamanaka. Cosplayers, who enjoy immense popularity overseas and are a highlight of events like the 'World Cosplay Summit,' as well as Japan's traditional art of fireworks, which has been evolving since the Edo period, will come together in this unique event.

Against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, while 10,000 fireworks, including 'senko hanabi' (sparklers), light up the sky for approximately one hour, cosplayers can capture stunning photographs using tripods and strobe lights in a dedicated photography area without inconveniencing the general audience. You can take breathtaking photos with vibrant and gigantic fireworks as your backdrop, creating moments that can only be captured here.

Please note:
- Only 300 tickets are available.
- Video recording is also permitted.
- For more details, please check the official website and official social media channels."

"The collaborative fireworks event taking place on the same day is the 'Capsule - Mt. Fuji Lake Yamanaka Fireworks Music Festival.' This fireworks display is set to be launched by two renowned fireworks companies in Japan:

- Marugo Co., which received the highest honor in the fireworks industry, the 'Prime Minister's Award,' at the 'National Fireworks Competition' last year. They also secured victory at the Sumida River Fireworks Festival Competition, which attracted 1.03 million attendees this year, among numerous other prestigious accolades.

- Saiki Enka Honten, the original creator of Koshu fireworks, which has passed down its expertise through generations.

You can enjoy capturing approximately 10,000 powerful fireworks presented by these two exceptional fireworks companies.

There are two parts to the event, daytime and nighttime, each offering 'Cosplayer' tickets and 'Photographer' tickets. For the nighttime fireworks part, there's also a 'VIP ticket' available, which grants access not only to the 'Cosplay Photography Zone' but also to the 'Fireworks Festival Area' of the Yamanaka Lake Fireworks Music Festival. This includes open seating, a food area, and the main stage. In the Fireworks Festival Area, you can savor meals from food trucks at the food area and enjoy the Music Star Mine fireworks from open seating.

Please note that using flash photography and tripods in the Fireworks Festival Area is not permitted.

The Music Star Mine fireworks are synchronized to music, and the timing of the fireworks' bloom and disappearance is carefully calculated to immerse the audience in a world of music and fireworks. The soundtrack includes anime theme songs from series such as 'Ghost in the Shell,' 'One Piece,' and 'Neon Genesis Evangelion.'

All of this unfolds against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, creating a surreal display that seamlessly blends music, fireworks, and the picturesque landscape. Enjoy a delightful and comfortable time at the foothills of Mount Fuji."
