<p>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 <a href="http://www.nicjapanese.com/english/e-cul-hanabi.html" rel="nofollow">two of the oldest, largest and most famous fireworks factories from the Meiji period</a> (1868-1912).</p>

<p>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.</p>

i remember specifically that i was googling the same question because i know about the common words shouted and "Tagoya" was used in BOTH manga and anime. So this answer is not really it.

I read the scanlation. Plus I suspect that it is in katakana.

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

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> 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</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am wondering, where does this thing about yelling "Tagoya" come from?</p>

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.
