** The Japanese television "all the Japanese disguise grand prix" headquarters ** I did some hunting around on the English version of the Nippon TV website, and found some details...

MASQUERADE Begun in 1979 and staged more than 70 times since, the two-hour special Masquerade continues to rank as one of the most popular entertainment contests in Japan. Participating in Masquerade takes more than just dressing up as if for Halloween. For this contest, the entrants-one person or a group of people-not only wear costumes, which they make themselves, but also use props, make-up and parts of their own bodies to ingeniously represent through their actions all kinds of subjects: famous people, things, animals, products, phenomena, etc..© NTV© NTV© NTV120-180 min x 70+ specials, Japanese & Mandarin tracks.

Preliminary rounds run through October and November. Of course, I have to resort to a translation service, so I can't really be sure I'm right; after all the resulting translation still requires interpretation:

You will not be concerned the idea which is happened to think in any case, with any ones and will write on the application and will apply to the disguise headquarters! It meaning that possibility of prize 200 ten thousand Yen gets near with グ - ン by the fact that you apply it does.

I'm guessing the grand prize is 200 ten thousand Yen.

Some of my favorite past performances:

If you like MASQUERADE, check out what else is on NTV: DANJIKI:

BUDDHIST DIET SECTRETS Stars: Masatoshi Nakamura, Shouzou Endo, Marina Watanabe, Kanako Enomoto Diet pills, rigorous exercise, low-calorie diets, liposuction and tummy tucks, the list of ways to lose weight can go on and on, but none seems to work just right. We have the answer for you! Danjiki! Come with us as five brothers, all Buddhist Priests, introduce their traditional and humble - but very effective - diet secrets to those in need of shaping up their minds and bodies. Now you can lose that unwanted weight and keep it off!

FOOD FRENZY! Pleasant and kind Ihara, a once-orphan and now blue-collar worker at a big food company holds a secret: He is the reigning champion in an underground eating competition held at the company. Two contestants battle to see which can pack away more food within a specific time limit. With nine consecutive wins, Ihara always donates his monetary winnings anonymously to his old orphanage. The circumstances surrounding his victories, however, are often surprising and usually unusual.

GOLDEN BOWL Stars:Takeshi Kaneshiro, Hitomi Kuroki, Rio Matsumoto, Naoya Ogawa, Tetsuro Degawa, Tsurukou Shofukutei, Kanako Enomoto, Eiko Segawa, Muga Takewaki Focus, concentration, proper posture and good release are the hallmarks of a good bowler, just like Shu Akutagawa. It’s at the Golden Bowl bowling alley, a place that’s a bit rundown and small, but no worse for wear, that this stockbroker likes to strut his stuff. A regular at the Golden Bowl, he likes nothing better than the rumble of the bowl streaking down the lane, and the crash and crackle of the pins tumbling down. But life’s not all bowling! When his old flame Hitomi Sakura (now married to someone else) makes an appearance at the Golden Bowl, things start to heat up again as Shu teams up with her to challenge some pro bowlers. But the question is will Shu be as lucky with Hitomi as he is with the pins?

MEGATEN! This long-running show has been a huge success in Japan for 15 years. Tokoro-san, a Japanese Seinfeld, challenges the task of making science interesting. The show examines our society and our lifestyles from scientific angles. In the first episode, we get a scientific look at skyscrapers, The program also examines an on-going project called Airpolis 2001, a 2,001 meter-tall super skyscraper complex of 500 floors.

You can buy stuff from your favorite Programs in the Nippon TV Store; the t-shirts are totarry rad.
