Ito Anjin-Festival Fireworks - 360° (伊東按針祭の花火）
Hi, this is my first 360 degree video shot with the Insta360 Nano (dock-able to my iPhone 6). I'm reporting from the Ito Anjin-Festival that is held every year in August, to celebrate the arrival of navigator William Adams who later became one of the first Western samurai. He was portrayed by Richard Chamberlain in the famous 80's TV series Shogun. The fireworks are one of the biggest in Japan with over 10,000 rockets blowing up in the sky and on top of the sea over the length of an hour. I have shot the whole finale, and am commenting in Japanese as well as in English. 伊東の按針祭の花火からです。一時間で約１万発の大スケールで、フィナーレを３６０度のカメラで撮りました。
Travel reports: Tai Gyouton and Atami - East Izu area trip is added.

In today's somewhat shorter vid, we head out to Asakusa and Akihabara to shop and geek out (in that order). There are a couple bad jokes tossed in there too, but we're assuming you guessed that already.
