日本の謎/Mysteries in Japan 2: Halloween

ハロウィーンって、日本のホリデーだったっけ?街の至る所でハロウィーンの宣伝を見ます。コスチュームやら、キャンディーやら、ぬいぐるみやら······日本って、ハロウィーンの伝説とかに当てはまるのかいな?

でも、日本のカボチャは美味しいし、コスプレも見慣れてるから、あんまり違和感無いのかもしれない······なんて。でもお菓子は断然日本のの方が旨いと思う。

Was Halloween a Japanese holiday too? I see ads and goods for Halloween all over the place—at the grocery stores, the department stores, even at real estate agencies. Was the All Hallows' Eve stuff applicable in Japan, too?

But pumpkins in Japan are yummy and cosplay isn't uncommon, so maybe Halloween will actually fit right into Japanese culture...minus the cheap/gross candy.
