There is a very popular TV program titled 全日本仮装大賞（zen nippon kaso taisho: All Japan Masquerade). Its 81st contest was broadcasted tonight from 7 PM for 2 hours by NTV (Nippon Television Network Corporation). This program has 30 years history which started on Dec. 31, 1979 for the first time. Usually there are 3 contests in a year: the new year's season, spring, and fall.
This time 5,828 teams applied and only 36 teams were selected and the youngest 3 years old to the oldest 83 years old competed. Since this time the judging rules have been changed a little bit, and there were 5 referees who had 4 points each. So the perfect score was 20 points. Two teams got 20 points, and they became the champion and the second.
Champion team's performance was the scene from the popular movie of last year, and its title was "海の中のポニョ（umi no naka no Ponyo: Ponyo in the Sea)", and 16 girls danced like rhythmic gymnastics which was so beautiful. They got yen 2,000,000 as a prize. Other awards were Idea prize, Humor prize, Performance prize, Technique prize, and Fantasy prize. One of the surprises was there was a couple that engaged after their performance and fortunately they got the Fantasy prize. Congratulations!
