The annual Kawasaki Halloween Parade this year was held on October 31st. It is said to be one of the biggest Halloween parades in Japan. It was my second time to see the parade and I&#8217;m still quite impressed with the participants. Their costumes were amazing.

<p>The annual Kawasaki Halloween Parade this year was held on October 31st. It is said to be one of the biggest Halloween parades in Japan. It was my second time to see the parade and I&#8217;m still quite impressed with the participants. Their costumes were amazing. They can described as either &#8216;kawaii&#8217; or &#8216;kowai&#8217;.</p>
<p>In Japan, &#8216;kawaii&#8217; means &#8216;cute&#8217;, and &#8216;kowai&#8217; is &#8217;scary&#8217;. (Be careful when you try to use them. You don&#8217;t want to get yourself embarrassed after mistakenly saying &#8216;kowai&#8217; to a cute little Japanese kid, instead of saying &#8216;kawaii&#8217;).</p>
<p><strong>The Mario Family.</strong> Kawaii ne~!<br />

<p><strong>HEAD, HEad, head</strong> Yeah, it looks kowai, but it has some kawaii-ness. :p<br />
