Anyway, it started in the late '80s not '90s and I had the unfortunate experience of being on that train in 1990 by accident. I saw a bunch of people pissing on the seats and ripping up the advertising. It was pathetic.

How would you feel if a bunch of drunken foreigners did that in your country and disrupted everything?

I believe I heard that it's second only to Christmas in what people spend on it. Part of the reason is that it has few people that it offends, nobody get depressed over it, and both kids and adults and have fun. I think people now decorate there homes more for Halloween then for Christmas. Of course here in Minnesota that might have something to do with it being warmer in October then November/December for putting those lights up. Do gaijin still party on the Yamanote on Halloween night? Hallaween is becoming huge here. I believe I heard that it’s second only to Christmas in what people spend on it.

It's still probably a long way until kids will go trick-or-treat in the streets (probably won't happen at all, well maybe it could work in inaka). Anyway I think it's a fun event worth celebrating.
