“Anna Tsuchiya × The Evil Within” Halloween Event Heats Up Shinjuku! 0

On Oct. 26, a Halloween parade and mini concert were held by Japanese talent and musician Anna Tsuchiya at the Futabadori East Shinjuku Shopping District.

The Halloween event was put on with full cooperation from Bethesda Softworks’ survival horror game The Evil Within, to which “Lucifer,” the title track off of Tsuchiya’s mini album of the same name just released on Oct. 22, was used as the song in the TV commercial.

On the day of the parade, Tsuchiya participated dressed just as she appears in the music video for “Lucifer” as a fallen angel. With Tsuchiya at the front, characters from The Evil Within and over 200 other participants dressed in cosplay formed a long line and marched through Shinjuku Futabadori. The parade caused a huge commotion. Also, among those participating in the parade, the mannequin dance duo Far East Mention Mannequins (FEMM) which is catching fire even overseas could be seen as well, bringing a wonderful atmosphere to the event.

After the parade, Tsuchiya held a secret concert at which she performed three songs including “Lucifer” and the theme song to the TV anime NaNa, “Rose.” Roughly 2,000 people attended the “Anna Tsuchiya × The Evil Within” event, which came to a close with Shinjuku Futabadori wrapped in a wild whirlwind of excitement.

In recent years in Japan, interest in Halloween events has been increasing, and it seems the success of this event is proof that its spread will accelerate even more.

● Comment from Anna Tsuchiya:
>“As someone who loves festivals, being able to hold this kind of Halloween parade with all of >you, in the middle of Shinjuku no less, was really fun. This August marked the 10th >anniversary since my solo debut, and I hope to be able to keep delivering good music.”
