Yesterday was the Halloween parade in
Harajuku, where children of all ages (and some dogs too) dress up and have a fine old time in the streets of Tokyo. We started at brunch, where Ariana
serenaded us with what, I don't remember. I do know it was loud....
We then made our way to the parade and got there just as it started. Kids of all ages and in all sorts of costumes paraded down the street.
Ariana even met a "
Kiki" - for those who are not familiar with "
Kiki's Delivery Service", it is a wonderful movie about a little girl witch (
Kiki) and her black cat (
Jiji). The girl below with the red bow in her hair was
Kiki and Ariana was so excited to see her.
Afterwards, we hung out in
Yogogi Park for awhile
and then made it to the Baby Does Disco event, where the parents got to dance to 80's disco music and the kids got to laugh. Ariana was quite timid, preferring to play with the big
balloons scattered around the room.
...that is until they started playing "YMCA". As she watched
baba san and I dance, she started following us as we made the letters with our arms (yes, she thought it was funny). But once she heard "
Superfreak" , she turned into a dancing machine...
