@meZATY ha ha Last year's spider uniform would be a hard act to follow. We don't have any plans yet, but if some of Nina's friends decide to have a Halloween party, we will try to get something together. Nina says she wants to be a princess.
@bloodxsakura Well, this was a special activity organized by the merchants in that shopping area. Most neighborhoods in Japan don't really do anything special for Halloween.
This is great. Congratulations on second place. I like how they said Trick or treat in Japanese. LOL. We have a lot of trick or treaters around the Roppongi area and a parade in Omotesando.
I became so nostalgic after watching this--my little sister went as a spider one year, may a year or two older than Nina was. She had a bell shape spider costume too--her spidy arms moved w/ her too, except my sister's costume was more fluffy so every move she made was soo..soo..wide and fluffy. lol Thanks for this vid. CONGRATS TO NINA--and her mama for making such a cute costume.
1- she's soooo adorable! okaasan did a great job with the costume! creative ne!
2- I know you're translating "okashi wo kurenai to itazura suruzo" to trick or treat... but I'm curious. If it's not so much trouble, could you please give me the LITERAL TRANSLATION of that sentence... like,, word by word... I'm so sorry to bother you m(_ _)'m
3- YAY! omedetou gozaimasu on winning ninachan!... you were a big spider! kowai!.. if you ran after me I WOULD FREAK OUT!
@SmilingMaram Thanks! Mama went crazy on her costume this year.
Okashi is "snacks", kureru is "to give" and itazura suru is "make mischief" so it is literally something like, "If you don't give us snacks, we will make mischief."
She won some fancy snacks and a gift certificate for a free lunch.
Her face was priceless! Oh, seeing moments like those make me glad that video cameras were invented. ♥ She is adorable, as always. :D That costume was awesome too! It was made by her mom? Wow, even the grasshopper? Wooow! Yay Nina Mama. XD
i love watching nina's videos..she's so adorable!! :-) keep 'em coming! btw, does she have any idea about the internet and how a lot of people all over the world know about her?
and i love that you can speak japanese fluently..i wish the one day, i will be able to do so too :-)
@geofg: i actually notice that you always talk to her in English and that's when i figured you're worried about her English. i studied Japanese since I've always wanted to learn it but it's really hard to be fluent at a language if you have no one to practice it with. how did you learn? and how long did it take for you to be fluent?
btw, i love hearing Nina speak in Japanese so i always try to look for the videos in which she does :-)
@chichi514 I never would have reached conversational proficiency in Japanese had I not been living here. I don't know how people do it. Even living here, it seems like it took 3 or 4 years before I really felt like I could hold a conversation in Japanese.
@mycotoxin Something got into Nina's mother this year and she was suddenly hit with the inspiration for the costume. She even downloaded a pattern from the internet to sew the grasshopper. It's not even a Japanese holiday, so I'm not sure where she channeled that from. ha ha
Omedetougozaimaaaasu!!! NIna-chan!! That's great! Her costume was incredibly creative! I love the little grasshopper with the "x" eyes...I"ve always found little x's on dead things hilarious! ^_^
Thanks for sharing Geofg! & Happy Belated Halloween!! ♥
@zeroarashi That was all Mama's doing. At first Nina felt weird about eating the grasshopper, but when we put the Xs on the eyes to show it was dead, then it made more sense to her.
That costume was genius! I love how creative it was,very smart! The Grasshopper was an amazing touch! Sorry If you've answered this already,but what was the prize exactly? was it just beautifully assorted treats? ; O so curious XD haha
@TeshiMeshi Yes, nice treats plus a gift certificate for a free lunch at a nice restaurant. The grasshopper was hand-made by Nina's mother. She was going for the prize, I think. ha ha
I always get excited when I see an update from you!! I love Nina! She's the cutest and sweetest spider I've ever seen :) I didn't know Japanese celebrate Halloween too. Thank you sharing your joy of Nina with us and the Japanese culture too. We won't be able to see it and experience it.. I really wanna go Japan one day! Kitto! :) Anticipating for the Nina video!! :)
I was wondering what the actual translation of "trick or treat" in Japanese is? It's so long. Nina is the cutest thing ever! And what a clever idea for mama!
@melzaelf There were no first or second places. They had 10 different winners with prizes supplied by various sponsors. Nina's number 2 was just her registration number. Most of the winners were group entries. Nina was one of the only single person entries.
And, thanks! I don't know what got into Mama this year, but she just decided to go all out in making Nina's costume.
how do you celebrate Halloween in Japan? Is it only special big events like this that's hosted, or do kids actually go around in small groups from houses to houses for candies? I grew up in Korea and came to US when I was young and we didn't have a Halloween in Korea... so i was wondering lol :)
@aeyeni Yeah, it's pretty much only at events like this. I think most households in Japan would have no idea what to do if a bunch of trick or treaters came knocking at their door. ha ha
@geofg LOL i can imagine lil kids in costumes and very confused ppl ~im sleepy so yeah ~but seriously~you know that some teens like to dress up ...they don't dress up for Halloween?? ya know just randomly? =^.^=
kawaii!!! That's so nice of oka-san to make that costume for Nina. My mother used to make costumes for me when I was little. best memories of my youth.
What a creative costume!!!!! Mamasan is very clever ne ! Who organized such a great parade and contest? I am curious; what did Nina win? Nina, you are the prettiest spider that I have ever sen!
@mohjoh1947 Some local merchants donated the prizes for the event. I think this was the first year for the event. Nina had various snacks in the bag, and we got a certificate for a free lunch at a nice restaurant.
@jerremm ha ha Yeah, we probably could have wrapped Nina in a trash bag and some commenters still would have liked it. But, the hand sewn grasshopper and umbrella net were nice touches, I thought.
@purplesomeone Thanks! Mama made the whole thing. And, Nina was just the number two entry. There were no first or second places. All the people whose numbers were on that board won a prize.
What's that kid supposed to be who was standing next to Nina while she was receiving her prize? The kid in white face at 2:25. Is that like a mime character?
It actually surprises me that Japan does the whole Halloween thing. We don't even do it that enthusiastically in the UK! But yay for Nina for looking cute as ever and winning a prize (and Mama for making it!). Was that a giant bug caught up in her web? hehe
@lisacs83 Most of Japan doesn't do anything for Halloween. My wife found out about this event on the internet. It's the closest thing you can get to trick or treating in Japan.
@LadyFlameSniper ha ha Yeah, the Chinese ghost was the only other single person winner, I think. All the other winners were group entries. Each winner got a bag of goodies from a different sponsor, so I guess they were all different, hence the Chinese ghost's curiosity.
Oh man, I've never heard "trick or treat" in Japanese. It's just a literal translation. Funny!
Also, I LOVED Nina's costume. I don't really like seeing all those store-bought costumes. I spent Halloween in Canada, and there were so many DISNEY PRINCESSES and WITCHES, and very little creativity. My mom used to make my costumes too, I'm glad she won a prize. Maybe she'll get first place next year!!! :)))
@Ciaela Nina wanted to be a Disney princess, actually, but this image of Nina as a little spider eating a grasshopper just came to Akiko one day, and we talked it up and Nina got on board with the idea. I don't think we would have entered her in a contest if we just had a storebought costume.
Haha.. Awesome costume!! She got jipped getting second.. Those judges were bought off.. *sigh* It happens in Japan too I see ;P Thanks for sharing Nina the spider with us, too cute! :D
@joshuarawr No, number 2 is just Nina's entry number. My wife was one of the first to register her. There was no first or second prize, just about 10 different prizes from different sponsors.

I spent Halloween in Canada, and there were so many DISNEY PRINCESSES and WITCHES, and very little creativity. My mom used to make my costumes too, I'm glad she won a prize. Maybe she'll get first place next year!!! :)))

@Ciaela Nina wanted to be a Disney princess, actually, but this image of Nina as a little spider eating a grasshopper just came to Akiko one day, and we talked it up and Nina got on board with the idea. I don't think we would have entered her in a contest if we just had a storebought costume.

@joshuarawr No, number 2 is just Nina's entry number. My wife was one of the first to register her. There was no first or second prize, just about 10 different prizes from different sponsors.

'Uhhh?' So cute...
It's amazing how Halloween is such a big deal here in Japan. In Australia, barely anyone celebrates it.
Looking forward to the next video ^^

@tias90 Most places in Japan don't really do anything for Halloween, but my wife found out about this event on the internet.

Did you guys make Nina's umbrella wings? If so, it was very creative!!

@Tobleroneisbomb i don't think that are wings, as spider don't have wings.
i think it's spider web with a moth trapped on it.. creative huh? :P
