At the start of the series (i think Episode 5 or 6), Sven teaches Eve to yell
out "Tagoya" when she see's fireworks.

> later when Sven suggest to launch fireworks to lure Eden off-course, hearing
> the fireworks go off while within Eden Eve is yelling out "Tagoya" while on
> an elephant ignoring Adam

I am wondering, where does this thing about yelling "Tagoya" come from?

Where does "Tagoya" come from?


Are you sure you don't mean "Tama-ya!" rather than "Tagoya!"? It is very
common for Japanese onlookers at a festival to loudly cry out "Tama-ya" and
"Kagi-ya" when they see fireworks, instead of applause for the show. The words
refer to [two of the oldest, largest and most famous fireworks factories from
the Meiji period](http://www.nicjapanese.com/english/e-cul-hanabi.html)
(1868-1912).

I believe the plan is to so distract Eve with the fireworks and their
surrounding customs that she'd be unaware of the changes being made behind her
back.
