Speaking of Halloween… here are photos of Tokyo in spooky-mode. Like every year, Shinjuku’s Don Quixote has a colorful display.

Claire’s is bursting with cat and devil ears. I can’t believe I still haven’t tried the new Pirate-themed restaurant in Odaiba…

Dollar stores are the best places to pick up Halloween doo-dads.

I decorated my nails with ghostly nail-art stickers and glitter.

Even Tokyo Disneyland is getting into the spirit, with Mad Hatter Mickey Mouse.

The “crane game” machines have toy rabbits dressed up as black cats and pumpkins.

Takashimaya department store has beautifully packaged spooky snacks.

Halloween is the best time of the year, don’t you agree? Last year, I did blog posts about Japanese costumes and pumpkin-flavored food that are worth a revisit.

And what better way to celebrate Halloween… than rocking out with Miyavi? Enter the contest to win passes, and that could be your destiny. Good luck and stay scary!

What are your plans for Halloween this year? Got a costume yet?
