QUOTE
Obon (お盆, Obon?) or just Bon (盆, Bon?) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves. It has existed in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori.
Bon Odori (盆踊り, meaning simply Bon dance) is an event held during Obon. It is celebrated as a reminder of the gratefulness one should feel toward one's ancestors.

Will be there with some of my friends. See you all there.
And yes, cosplaying in Bon Odori is distasteful. I wondered if the Japanese thinking Malaysians are such morons for cosplaying in Bon Odori.

no la... maybe they got the wrong idea on bon odori... they think it's like any anime events when it's not...
well at least learn through mistakes... we know that it's not wise to cosplay there...
just wear either yukata or casual... hehe...
