Shibuya of Halloween 2015, also costume of social conditions-based, such as Goromaru

Every time, is a "Shibuya of the city", which gathered supporters in soccer Japan representative of W Cup game, the past few years, is to show the W Cup more strange upsurge "Halloween". In the market, already referred to surpass a Valentine gift. Why you would put this much attract young people? To begin with the Japanese is not limited to Halloween, such as Christmas and Valentine's Day, incorporating the overseas departure of the event, they are skilled in the ability to enjoy to arrange their own style. Seems even temperament and unprincipled as "accept anything", a different perspective, the Japanese believe in the "God of eight million (eight million)" since ancient times without so worry about the gap between the religion, would incorporate anything I would also say that there is a "tolerance".
How would be reason to come around to Shibuya? One is that you have integrated the club and live house to host the event in Shibuya. Larger that the other is likely to be in the "story of SNS" such as Facebook and Twitter. Large crowd that costume in "Shibuya scramble crossing" is surging "extraordinary spectacle" is spreading widely in the SNS, has become a factor to promote the further of many people Raimachi.

Now I wonder how was this year's Halloween.

31, the day also affect that overlaps the "weekend (Saturday)", 8 o'clock at night, Shibuya Station was filled with a lot of young people who fancy dress. In particular, such as Hachiko in the square and the city center followed by a congestion of that it can not be hamstrung, it had significantly turnout (come town's) is more than last year.
31 days, state of the scramble crossing of the night around 9 o'clock.

With this situation, do the security in the same system as the W Cup at Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, such as to temporarily ban the diagonal crossing of the "scramble crossing", it had prompted the move avoidance and smooth of confusion. However, the spectacle such as forcibly removed was not seen at all, as long as the dangerous acts and violence does not occur, I felt like had rather through the attitude that watch over the young people to enjoy Halloween.
Same or prepare a "fitting and make space" free to be Jingudori park, Shibuya-ku, in response to last year's garbage problem, the "Trash" and "garbage dumps" to the center city, such as the installation at an extraordinary, young people that showed a "permissive attitude" was very impressive with respect to the fancy dress. Noticeable also willingly accept young people of the figure to the call of the volunteer staff, although the pros and cons are there, it was Ukagaemasu there progressing to coexist with new event (festival) and the town.

Speaking generally Halloween costume, zombies and prisoners, but such as nurse bloody is a classic, in recent years and reflects the same "social situation trends" and wordsmiths, than the "fear", "laughter "feel things as priority people is increasing the can take. In the night of 31 days, we'll show concrete to contact the state of the fancy dress taken in Shibuya.

In fancy dress to young people, foreigners and travelers from overseas studying abroad is noticeable surprising. Such as Instagram (Insta grams), Twitter, to know the climax of Shibuya of Halloween in the SNS, foreigners planning a trip to suit your Halloween was also a little stamens. Toward the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, a significant increase of the visit to Japan tourists from abroad (inbound) is expected, Shibuya of Halloween in such will can serve as one of the "tourist content". At the same time and criticism of the voice are often public manners, dust problem the like are also likely to need to think together.
