So, I ended up not staying for Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I did go to the Halloween parade in Kawasaki on the 31st. I got there right before it started, so couldn't get a really good spot, but was able to take some video:
As you can see, there were three floats in the parade.
Float 1 started the parade and carried the special guests, the comedy duo "Maeda Maeda." They are elementary school aged brothers who, while not really that funny, are absolutely adorable. Float 1 = Cutest Float
Float 2 was really awesome because of all the spooky arms sticking out of it and because the DJ was spinning "Thriller." Float 2 = Most Appropriate for Halloween Float
Float 3 was pretty ridiculous because it consisted of the not-creatively costumed skanky belly dancers and skanky angel dancing to "Barbie Girl." Float 3 = Most Appropriate for Japanese Halloween Float
The others in the parade are just normal people who signed up to participate. A lot of them had some really great costumes (many of which not pictured here since I only got 1/3 of them), but there were still quite a few store-bought witch costumes and the like. But, that's what you get with non-juried parade selection, I guess.
Right before leaving, we stumbled across a street performer, who seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with Halloween. I couldn't tell if he was kinda creepy, or really awesome...probably a combination of both...you be the judge. (Commentary courtesy me and my friend Errol)
