While the sprawling and sometimes chaotic celebration of Shibuya's massive Halloween party was (relative to previous years) curved by safety protocol against COVID-19, the pandemic just couldn't slowdown one of the country's recent and growing Halloween traditions: incredibly mundane Halloween costumes.

It's called "Jimi Halloween" (Mundane Halloween), and is a party hosted by entertainment media group Daily Portal Z (which cooks up ideas like making realistic bird-shaped shoes to make friends with pigeons).

Employees at the website office started the party in 2014, when they expressed that they wanted to celebrate the holiday but didn't want to commit to full-blown embarrassing costumes due to train commutes. So instead, they opted for "Jimi Halloween", where they dress up in costumes of mundane, plain, and run-of-the-mill niche people and situations you see on a daily basis.

For instance, 2019 saw costumes like the following:

A man who found a cockroach and grabbed whatever was immediately around him to use as a weapon.

A woman who showed up at a BBQ but clearly has no intention of helping out.

With Halloween 2020 in the books, so is Mundane Halloween 2020, and this year saw some great understated costumes! The trend has extended well beyond the original party, and many mundane costumers have been sharing their own. Here's a few of our favorites.
