Halloween in Roppongi, Tokyo
October 31, 2014
 |
| Like Times Square on New Year's Eve, but without the imminent danger... |
A few years back, Halloween was virtually unknown outside
of a few foreign enclaves, but recently the kids have
embraced the holiday, I mean who doesn't like getting dressed up as a favorite anime --with a unique Japanese style, of course.
