Is Halloween even a thing in Japan?

I actually don't even know. Probably not.

Seems it's basically a holiday celebrated by expats that is slowly starting to bleed into larger cultural awareness in recent years. Maybe zoglin could say more?

There is a Halloween episode of Love Live, so I assume it's at least well-known in Japan, if perhaps not widely celebrated.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Ghost Hound is good and very, very weird/creepy. Not sure if it's Halloween-y in the same way Soul Eater is, but it's worth checking out.

I have a friend who's working in Japan at the moment and I can confirm that it is a thing over there, in the kind of decorations in shops and halloween themed food for sale way. I don't know if trick or treating is a thing over there though.
