“A Synchronization of Air and Water,” will be held at the Water Plaza at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”). On Monday 7 April, 2025, it was recognized by Guinness World Records as the “Largest interactive fountain feature”*1. On the same day, a certification ceremony in which a certificate was presented by an Guinness World Records official adjudicator was held at the Water Plaza at the Expo site.
“A Synchronization of Air and Water” is a form of entertainment linked to “Under the Midnight Rainbow”, a spectacular show of air and water held at night at the Water Plaza. It is a participatory event that allows spectators to experience the world of the show during the day as well. Water shoots up from about 300 fountains in response to people’s gestures and hands, giving visitors a spectacular experience of controlling the fountains. Watching the fountains rise in various patterns depending on the movements of your body will give you a mysterious feeling, as if you were a magician.
This certification recognises that the installation area of the fountains that spectators can control in “A Synchronization of Air and Water” is the largest of any interactive fountain facility that can be operated or controlled by the general public.
We hope that everyone attending the Expo will enjoy the ” A Synchronization of Air and Water,” which has been certified by the Guinness World Records, and that it will be a special experience that can only be had here.
