A little over the top just for a crossing, but this amused me:

In homage to its Far Eastern inspiration, the mayor will strike a two-metre high cymbal as Japanese musicians play taiko drums.

A giant X, in the form of 60m (196ft) of red ribbon will then be unfurled by devotees of cult Japanese Manga characters dressed in colourful costumes.

Mr Johnson said the crossing, controlled by traffic lights, was "a triumph for British engineering, Japanese innovation and good old fashioned common sense".

Oh Boris, its just a crossing, no one really cares that much.

Now with pic. Cosplaying for this?

Only Boris Johnson could find a zebra crossing "head scratching"....

The jerk bumped into me at London Bridge Tube the other week. Didn't even apologise. Douche.

This thing has got some of my Traffic Signal colleagues rubbing their thighs in horny anticipation.

We got precedence now! Prepare to see these pop up elsewhere...

Still, when someone said taiko drumming cosplay I was thinkign of this:
