Harajuku
Looking for a permanent party in Japan? Try the Harajuku district in Tokyo. It's a brilliant show of costumed youth and young adults that seem quite influenced by the anime of their youth, mixed with a sort of darker side, very reminiscent of goth. See for yourself the fun cosutmes these kids work on. Latex, uniforms, and lots and lots of the color black.

Why do they do it? Believe it or not, the origins go back to the 1970's and the first waves of rock-and-roll to take Japan. (more here)
