The Osu Parade started at 3:30 on Saturday. The rain had let up and cooled things off but it had kept people away thankfully so the oppressive crowds of previous years were not there this year.
Here is the front of the parade.

Below is a shot of a large number of the international cosplayers during the break behind Osu Kannon Temple.

Here is the stage performance on the Osu Kannon grounds. You can see the tent above the stage to protect everyone from the rain.
