The budget mentioned covers all the fireworks prepared in Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The total may vary depending on the types and quantities selected.
As summer reaches its peak, with Obon just around the corner, gatherings often spark excitement for fireworks.
Continuing from Vol. 1, we’ve selected easy-to-find fireworks from Wakamatuyu, Japan’s largest fireworks company, for this review. Here’s what elementary schoolers and their moms really thought!
Unmatched Excitement! “THE THREE”
This product is numbered, which makes us wonder if the size of the fireworks changes with each number.
Number one is already quite impressive!
And with number two, we’re thinking, “Is it really this great?!”
Wow! Number three took it to another level!
The pressure on number three was immense, but it truly shone brightly! Applause erupted spontaneously! Amazing!!

The Commitment of a Long-Established Brand! “Honki Dama』
Wakamatuyu puts their heart into family fireworks. You can tell even from the packaging how substantial it is.
Look at this size… You can feel their commitment to craftsmanship and passion!
The launch distance is astounding for a home product! It was scary but exhilarating!
The pictures couldn’t keep up... So you’ve got to try it yourself; it’s incredible!

You Can’t Help but Count! “60 (Roku Maru) Damashii”
Does this home firework really have 60 launches?! That’s amazing?!
Make sure to firmly secure the base with stones.
Check out the video. While we couldn’t count them all, you can definitely see a lot shooting up!
Considering this is handmade... they’ve truly infused a sense of entertainment into family fireworks... incredible...

Ending on a Soothing Note with “Pure Domestic Sparklers”
These are pure domestic sparklers. With a simple composition of just gunpowder and wrapping paper, you can really appreciate the craftsmanship!
Perfect for wrapping up your at-home fireworks. Both kids and adults can enjoy these calmly.
Even so, it’s common for a sparkler battle to break out! The excitement carried on until the very end.
It’s nice to see them burning beautifully until the end. Lovely.
Overall Review from the Elementary Schoolers and Moms! Important Safety Tips
“THE THREE” was the favorite! While there were slight preferences, five out of seven chose it as a top three. Other fountain and launch fireworks were also quite popular, but the handheld ones were consistently fun as well.
Even though they are toy fireworks, they involve igniting gunpowder, so it’s important to keep an eye on safety, not just for ourselves but also for those around us.
Fountain and launch fireworks are incredibly powerful, so doing them right in front of your home in an urban area might not be a great idea. Please enjoy them in spacious areas like riverbanks or parks where fireworks are permitted.
Bonus Section: Reflecting on Childhood Memories with Fountain Fireworks
Please note that this is not a recommended way to play. Nowadays, there are plenty of legitimate fountain fireworks available to enjoy.
Mom 1 said, “When I was a kid, there were no fountain fireworks, so we used to stick handheld ones in the ground and play with them like this,” as she reminisced about 30 years ago while recreating the scene. (Not recommended!) (Please do not try this at home!)
And the jokester boy named this firework “Grave Fire” for some reason.
Maybe he saw something similar in a comic. I wonder if there really were such markers...
