Domestic companies are coming up with a series of new services that leverage the latest in drone technology.

MicroAd Inc., a Tokyo-based online advertising company, has unveiled a service called Sky Magic to produce sound-and-light extravaganzas. Drones illuminated with LED lights can project logos, words, shapes and pictures in spaces above large-scale events.

At its roll-out event in Chiba in April, five drones flew in a formation depicting an inverted image of Mount Fuji as a live shamisen performance was held in front of an audience of some 1,300.
