420kg Giant Firework Shell Story | The YONSHAKUDAMA ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2019
- Japan's Fireworks Town is Katakai, Niigata Prefecture, and they host an annual festival dedicated to launching them high into the sky over scenic rice paddies. How big are they? The bigger, the better!
That's the spirit!
Meet the YONSHAKUDAMA
Japan's biggest fireworks shell weighs about 420kg (925 pounds)
It was created by Masanori Honda in 1986. The world had never seen anything like this!
It was the largest ever artillery firework shell in 2014 when it entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Since then, more ridiculous sizes have been launched but it all started with Honda-san. He's been launching up the insane 420 kg (925 lb) "Yonshakudama" Firework Artillery Shell for decades.
The Katakai Matsuri is held annually on September 9th and 10th for over 400 years.
Where is Katakai?

"Can we own a firearm?"
Japan Gov: "no, go play air soft"
"Can we build half a ton bomb and launch it in the air from a mortar?"
Japan Gov: "Hai"
Lol haha
japan is used to it
the BIGGEST FIREWORK japan was in 1945.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki yield equivalent to 16 and 21 kilotons of TNT...
:O one man got to see both of them his name was Yamaguchi
Lol
punker4Real ummm, you need to rethink your definition of firework 😂😂
Honestly, when you look at the basic structure of the two, they are ultimately no different. The only difference really comes down to intent of their use. One just happens to have pretty colors. You could use either interchangeably via tubes or other methods of launching.
"A year's work becomes an exciting 15 seconds."
Ah, the story of my love life.
looncraz ...Cheaper to build a half ton firework and ultimately more satisfying. 🍻
You were that fast?
F
Oof size large
Feels bad man
Mr. Masanori Honda is an example for business executives everywhere. He's older, but he remains open-minded and willing to make necessary adjustments in the course of doing business. Those that refuse to change with the times die by the side of the road while forward-thinking execs pass them by. Bravo, Honda-san!
everything in Japan from farming fruits to making fireworks is made with so much pride and and care its almost everything they make is a form of art.
At the same time it is shamed in America lol, sad
@@ApolloTheDerg For many reasons lmao
Their steel is unparalleled. -A jealous American.
Absolutely Agree
because their lands were never invaded, occupied and destroyed culture by foreign invaders 😅😅😅 that's why they were able to keep their cultural heritage since ancient times though it could be the same case for China if not for CCP erasing it by themselves now all that's left there is just fake propaganda😢😢😢.
12:18 Dude, if anything *goes wrong,* that helmet is wearing *YOU* for protection.
🤣
Hahahaha i had exactly the same though...
Lol
😂
17:46 is when it actually goes off. You’re welcome.
Thanks for saving 17 minutes of my life
Mn384 yeah I didn’t wanna sit through all of the bs talking.
The hero we needed but not the one we deserved
Legend mate
You a hero !!!
It would almost be worth the round trip tickets from the USA just to see that one shell go up! How awesome the whole show must be in person!
I've travelled and spent about that much on much less spectacular things... this seems like a once in a lifetime BEAUTIFUL spectacle which certainly is worth saving up for :)
I Hope you do get to go one day!!
3:24
Honda-san saying "Oh, yes, it's very dangerous" while smiling like a 10 year-old in a candy shop is a mood
Holy crap, the mortar they fire it out of is literally a pipe from super mario
Thought the same thing
Maybe Mario was in the way of the first one. lol
Jumped down wrong hole.
Hate when that happens
Dont look inside the pipe
Lol
This man's passion and pride of what he does makes me grin with happiness.
thnx dr phil.. who r u talking about anyway?? cuz the host of this show is super impatient... and the vid starts super late. cheezy
I feel the same way
K
Shokadori = grin with happiness.
Wand Camelot white man impatient because he has become doki doki - one with the Japanese.
USA: *we have the biggest, brightest, loudest, best fireworks*
Katakai: *hold my Yonshakudama*
I was born on the 4th of July (American independence day). Which is celebrated with fireworks. I love watching and setting off fireworks and learning about them. I love this video so much i keep rewatching it. Thanks for making it.
Stay safe and stay awesome💜
Happy birthday!
@@adarateranroldan I'm and American as well, so I will say thank you for him!
@@deadlybladesmith3093 lol what are you saying thanks for?
@@tylerwhite4743 Dude said happy birthday on July 4th

"When this explodes, how loud is it?"
"Yes."
not more than 20khz freqency
effect shells arent really as loud as salute shells
kid :
"yes what?"
How loud are these? Like in decibles
That's probably the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
I just saw Mr.Beast spend $600,000 on fireworks and not a single one was of this quality right here.
? Did you even see his video there was a mile wide of pure fireworks going off
@@509ryan mile wide doesnt mean better quality...
Rican Games dude he had like 9 of what you see in this video lol
@@509ryan you clearly don't have eyes, the way they were built inside and set up is different. There was way more elegance to these than that mess of a nuke 😂😂
CloudBurst I actually think Mr. Beast’s were much smaller than the yonshokudama
He could have said, "We were going for a Mine Effect instead of launching a higher breaking shell", but this man has pride and wont take credit for a misfire. Still really cool to see. Thanks for showing the fireworks from a father distance and some closer up. Really made for better viewing the show, and the fast forward to see the Yonshakudama was fun to watch also. Glad he did it this way instead of just not filming it at all and just going to the Yonshakudama Shells and the end. Adding a filming of one going off properly really showed how much design and build time goes into these shells which is well deserved!!! Thanks for the fun video. Now if I could just learn to build them here in the U.S. I'd be the King of Pyrotechnics in the U.S.!! One can dream about doing this, especially a pyro like myself.. Here's to a perfect wind speed to clear the smoke and no Duds!! Cheers... :)
Beautiful tradition. Love that the artistry and cultural heritage is protected and passed on in practices such as this.

Considering this 4th of july they were throwing fuckin dynamite and calling it Fireworks. This will probably be hitting every city next year lol
Imagine spending a year on a firework and it not even working correctly.
That would suck,but I am willing to bet their "Big unn" has never failed. You can tell the owner has achieved mastery over his craft.
Stephan Jeffery it happened in the video
Good thing they made two
MR ES no they didn’t wasn’t the second vid from a different year
@Calthecool Imagine making a 20 minute video of a firework that took a year to build then capturing the explosion in a vertical format. Wait don't imagine, just watch this video.
Happy 4th of july my fellow Americans
Love the managers take on his job what a great and humble man. Wish more American managers felt this way

"Just because something has been, doesnt mean it must continue to be."
Society could learn a thing or two from this old man
Twister I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that part. Wise words.
_200 year old unchanged education system_
Come on man 😰
I agree, that man seemed extremely interesting. I’d work for him in a heartbeat.
Society just goes through scum phases where people get worthless and rot. Won't last forever
Those are some serious fireworks, WOW!
Thank you ! Absolutely mystifying! Worth every second.
I like his mantra: "I believe just because something has always been, doesn't mean it must continue to be." The world needs more critical thinkers like this gentleman.
As a historian, what will be has already been done.
Yes, loved it too,!
Successful Trucking not everyone will agree with that philosophy.
Successful Trucking know your trade. If someone feels special then I’m glad. Too many people doubt themselves. Progress requires confidence.
you clearly missed the context of that exchange. what's being discussed is the difference between how the masters of old taught their craft and how they use textbooks now because he's just a businessman who basically profits off other people's labors. the world has too many 'critical thinkers' like this gentleman already.
Honda-San seems like an very intelligent man with a good sense of humor. He and his employees that make and launch the fireworks are simply amazing in their craft...
They could make it in Taiwan or China in 15 min
thanks man. i love fireworks.
I've always admired the Japanese's attention to detail and patience it requires. Americans could learn some very good lessons from these virtues the Japanese people hold.
“Just because something has always been, doesn’t mean it must continue to be.” I will never forget this
That's just a tyrant, explaining how he changes his mind. When he feels more logical than you.
His Her can you clarify what you mean by this
@@thereallaracroft8309 after he said that line, he went on to say he is in charge of what is logical at any given time. Meaning he will teach you how to do something and right when you feel you got the hang of it. He will change the way it's done because it's more "logical" at the moment. But really it's a tyrant trying to control everyone. He even made an awkward laugh afterwards showing that his co workers probably dont agree with the sentiment.
There is always room for growth and evolution...
His Her “I find it is my job as an executive to weave logic, theory and verbal learning into tradition...”
To weave logic, theory and verbal learning into tradition. Once you have all that, if there is room for growth, for perfecting something, you apply logic and experience in order to improve it.
That may be why he said that things don’t always have to be the way they were before... that applies to everything in life, and this concept is very ingrained in Japanese culture...
Be happy 🌞
'I don't fear fail,I can never know whether one might succeed or fail"
Kudos to honda-san👏
Wow! That's impressive! I can only imagine how that thing just rumbles through your chest and feet, especially when you have your feet on the ground. I'll bet the food is so good. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
I like how slow that older executive man speaks, it's cool hearing people speak Japanese slowly.. younger people speak so fast, it's pretty overwhelming
10:30 I love how fireworks are being let off to let everyone know the big momma firework is getting ready
Those aren't fireworks those are gun shots 😉

I’m a 4th of July guy. And best believe I was very proud to see another man have the same passion and best of all another country have the same passion for fireworks as we do in the USA
ALL OF THESE ARE AMAZING
"Is it dangerous?"
John, it's half a ton of explosive. Of course it's dangerous.
@Stimpy&Ren its fine he has his hard hat.
No make fire here, very bad, yes. Big boom, big hurt, much burning.
Japanese Fireworks are very symmetrical and beautiful.
What a great show they put on some really amazing fireworks.
Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing them! Hontoni arigato gozaimasu!!
Japan really puts on a show! Cool to see the process! Excited for the Tokyo 2020 opening ceremony
@ForestofTooMuchFood i know what's you're saying
I heard the fireworks are literally out of this world. They will recreate an artificial meteor shower.
@ForestofTooMuchFood lol chinese troll
@ForestofTooMuchFood same thing in Kenya no mobus corpus
Weren't those tickets like $5000? Jesus.
Imagine hearing “TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING” a few seconds before the big one exploded
Usa had the biggest firework
Pol Kop have*
@@plugg976 nah. It's had.
Mister Torgue would approve!
I love that they call them tactical nukes. Like it’s a Small diameter bomb meant for a car or building. Doesn’t matter if its off
I like such thought 6:24 'Just because something has always been, doesn't mean it must continue to be'
Of course - - probably the biggest multibreak aerial shell of all. The Yonshakudama. This will make the Italian firework makers blush!
A helmet is going to protect you from a 900 pound explosive
😂😂😂😂😂
Yesss

That may be the coolest thing I have ever seen.
This man dreams big his Creations keeps growing bigger and bigger that's what dreams are made of
THAT is journalism! Not that I hoped even wanted to see a failed firework but the fact you created a content to share and were able to show the creator's "Go big or go home", risky attitude! Hats off to you sir for sharing such great work!!!
Talking about journalist... would be cool to see a collaboration between John and Greg Lam (channel "Life Where I'm From")?
@@deathdoor I think they've have each other. If im not wrong, John invite many of foreign youtubers in japan to his marriage celebration.
That would be huge!
Thank you
Thanks for the great video!
I’m form Katakai,and I was there when you were shooting.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you. 👍👍👍
That was still awesome!
The helmet the reporter is wearing looks like one that comes with a construction worker costume from party city. I wouldn’t trust it to stand on, let alone protect me from a half ton explosive.
Thought the same thing. A kids construction play set from Wal-Mart
That’s how I view all hard hats. They always looked like bendable plastic and so weak
@@obamashand4911 You can get expensive and cheap hard hats. They don't have to be tough like a military helmet, the way the suspension (straps) works is to keep the actual helmet material up above your skull a few inches. If something heavy drops onto your head, it acts like a cars supsenion and bounces down, disapating the kinetic energy. As opposed to a bike helmet, with is more to just keep your skull from cracking on a hard suface but does nothing for shock absorbsion.
@@jakemakes yeah but im just saying they LOOK like bendable plastic
Jake Makes well maybe it should be more like a military helmet in this case, they’re loading a several hundred pound bomb into the ground. Real construction PPE or not, that helmet will just turn into face shrapnel if that thing explodes as close as they were during loading lol. I’m sure it makes them feel safe though.
That guy is like an incredibly wise person with the passion and heart of a child!
I love the way he thinks!!!
Love and light to all!
Agreed. Like his discussion at 8:12. Makes me think he would be the best boss.
This video was a blast to watch! The Executive created quite the show!!
Nice, thanks for sharing this Video!👍👍👍🤟😎
"But we have helmets on, which will probably protect us."
XD

I actually said “wouldn’t” but said it so fast it didn’t sound like it 😂 I left that in there because I knew some people would comment on it. (I wasn’t wrong.)
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN Should have acquired a Colin Furze Safety Tie™😆
Great episode 🤩
I do not think a vest punie pladtick helmet will protect from a mega blast like that.I think rip you in shreds lol.screw a punie hand getnade compare that lol.
its the shock wav3 that kills you even if the inital fireball and shrapnel dont, in an explosion that big ir would suck the air from your lungs as well. You would burn, melt, explode etc
"I find it is my job as an executive to weave logic, theory and learning into tradition"
"To me, [an executive], it is someone who creates an opportunity, experience or product that people pay money for, but most importantly, find in it, incredible worth"
we need more executives like him
Person like him is called "shokunin(職人)" in Japan
;who dedicates all his life to making a better one.
Ptsd from WW2 dear lord. Japan does put on the BEST firework shows for sure.👍👏👏👏👏👏
I really want to see one of these launched side ways down a street
Lmaooooo

That would so dope, probably set off car alarms and shit

I think I'll pay my yokel friends 70k while I'm at it
No, I also will..

As someone from a fireworks loving country like the Philippines we have a focus more on the sound and explosiveness of a firework. It’s great to see other countries focus on the artistry and beauty of the firework. The care and attention given to these fireworks are also nice to see
Italian fireworks have the best fireworks for me. Their fireworks are colorful and are interesting and they're also inspiring and creative. Japan shells are just round and thats all.. sure they're big but... errgh
Très intéressant ce reportage !
Merci beaucoup!
😊😊😊
That's amazing :)
You should never fear failure. Failure provides one with an opportunity to learn things you wouldn't learn otherwise. So embrace failure and turn it into a growing experience.
You should fear giant bombs though...
Inspiring by Yukihura Souma.
If your job is crafting explosives you should probably worry about failure at least a little bit.
Chup
This failure means the whole town is dead. So yes, fear failure in this case

That ground burst was beautiful.
To call that a failure is pretty harsh.
I bet it was pretty sporty around that tube. I hope the crop and everyone was safe.They needed cameras where you watch them load it from that would have been amazing
I'm sure they take safety measures and environment friendly crackers
Failure? naw, but we did lose out on half of its potential. The half we did see was great, think about how it would have been if we got to see the other half?
This is part of the reason the launcher is buried. Still was beautiful.
