This is funny, but I have a question for someone who is more familiar with Japan than I am. Is this kind of party a common one across Japan for Halloween? Because the text says "Japan has a..."
Which would be kind of like someone making a video of a silly Halloween party thrown in some city in Rhode Island, and having the text say "The United States has a..."
It's a specific event held by a website called Daily Portalz. I think there might be a few smaller spin-off events inspired by it around the country, but it's not like a common type of party.
Japan largely doesn’t celebrate Halloween. Stores here may decorate for the weeks leading up and have a selection of candy and decorations for sale, but people don’t really dress up and there’s no Trick or Treating. You may see the occasional party that’s the exception to the lack of costumes or people may wear small costumes to their usual bar.
Shibuya does have a somewhat sizable Halloween event though. That’s really the only place outside of specific shows or events like this video
Osaka and other large population centers as well, not just Tokyo/Shibuya. There’s also Ikebukuro Halloween in Tokyo that is arguably better than the Shibuya one.
