In the past finding examples of Easter being celebrated in Japan has not been that easy.
One of the first videos you may come across is the Easter Parade at Disneyland. As you watch the parade see if you can find at least 5 symbols often associated with Easter celebrations. |

A Harajuku model turned Jpop star called Kyary Pamyu Pamyu increased interest in Easter with her song called Easter.
"I find this video very cute and pop," Kyary says. "I think I can say that for a lot of my videos, perhaps. 'Easter' verbally sounds like Japanese words いいスタート which means ‘good start’ in English, and I really meant that in the video. I want you all to have a good start for this spring, new life, and want you to try new things and move forward with a positive attitude..." Why is April a time where Japanese people are looking for a new start? Surely that’s something they would do at New Years? Research what Japanese students and graduates are doing in April in Japan? |
