Participants take a break as they wait for the start of a Halloween parade in Kawasaki, south of Tokyo, October 28, 2007. The cult around fancy dress, and Japan's love of quirky festivals and eccentric trends in general, may go towards explaining why Halloween has turned from an obscure foreign celebration into a popular cultural event here. Picture taken October 28, 2007. (Agencies)
