Be sure to stay until evening at Universal Studios Japan so you can see the Magical Starlight Parade! This amazing show has 37 floats, live dancers, and catchy music to brighten the night. Elmo, Hello Kitty, and Snoopy start off the action, each giant figure covered in thousands of sparkling LED lights. Watch Alice’s adventures in Wonderland, the Arabian nights, and Cinderella-themed sections. Floats are elaborate, some over 3 stories tall! The rainbow colors and sparkling lights make a magical fantasy performance that is sure to be a highlight of your visit to Universal Studios Japan.
This 18 minute HD video was taken on July, 2010 with Canon HF S11 at Universal Studios Japan, Osaka by Ying-chieh Chao who did a great job capturing the parade.
The parade takes an hour to wind through the park, but sitting in one place you can see it pass by in about 15 minutes. The parade starts at the border line of Hollywood area and New York area, goes through the canopy, and then continues all the way to the end of New York area. It runs every evening, though may be canceled due to bad weather.
