Seven-tiered Hina doll set
The Japanese Doll Festival (雛祭り Hina-matsuri?), or Girls' Day, is held March 3, the third day of the third month. Platforms with a red cloth (緋毛氈 hi-mōsen?) are used to display a set of ornamental dolls (雛人形 hina-ningyō?) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period.

パラパラって？
Para Para (Japanese: パラパラ; also "Para-Para" or "ParaPara") is a popular Japanese solo dance. Unlike most club dancing and rave dancing, there are specific, preset movements for each song, and everyone does the same moves at once, much like line dancing. Para Para is said to have existed since the 1970s, but did not achieve much popularity outside of Japan until recently.[citation needed] Today, it is known throughout the world, especially the Pacific Rim.
