Halloween, like any other holidays is just another excuse to dress up. This year, the streets of Shibuya was once again taken over by tens of thousands of people to celebrate this unholy holiday. And of course, with some superb cosplaying in all directions.
Tokyo Fashion:
“Halloween has exploded in popularity in Japan in the last few years, and this year’s Shibuya Halloween street party was the biggest and most insane that we’ve ever seen. The entire areas around Shibuya Station, the Shibuya Scramble, and Shibuya Center Street were packed with people in costumes from afternoon until well after midnight. We spent all day and night shooting to bring the fun directly to you!
Japan is the birthplace of cosplay, so people here go all out when it comes to dressing up for Halloween. The costumes ranged from lots of zombie Disney characters (Snow White was especially popular) to horror movie and video game icons (Silent Hill nurses galore), to full on Comiket-style cosplay groups straight out of anime and manga (lots of One Piece) to random funny stuff (a Facebook Like, The Mona Lisa).”
