A major earthquake struck Kumamoto, Japan, in July 2026, causing significant damage and loss of life. I created this short AI-generated drone show animation as a message of support for Kumamoto and its recovery. I tried to recreate the visual language of a real drone show with AI: drones taking off, gathering above Kumamoto Castle, forming messages, descending to the ground, and finally disappearing. The main message is: “Kumamoto, stay strong.” This is an independent creative project by Akiko Tsuka, who creates videos about regional revitalization and local communities in Japan.
