Near as I can figure, based on the button I bought, it's called Takata.
I first came across several old men banging on drums and decided to just enjoy my squid and then things began to get interesting...
As you can see a dragon appeared, was fed by members of the audience and then was defeated by a goofy-looking red-faced guy!
Next I ate a massive wiener only to affronted by another parade. This time around it was a bunch of kids dressed up in freaky masks flanked by some macho Samurai-archer dudes. (Though I didn't snap a picture of her, one of the old ladies sitting next to me, appeared as though she was wearing a mask--she wasn't.)
Next up were some pretty lame local artistes, first up was Yuuko singing a folksy tune called PaceMaker. She was pretty good and later I lauded her for it, and she nabbed me as I was leaving and handed me a CD! (I listened to it the other day for the first and last time-meh.) The next guy was a rocker Makoto Hiranai who I really enjoyed. Then there was an a cappella group who were amusingly lame and they finished with the Japanese version of the Mickey Mouse theme which I joined in with a "Hey Hey Hey" at the appropriate time.
Surprisingly I found the tune on YouTube! Check out the lyrics at the 1.20 mark, somewhat different.
