It's not that uncommon to see pedestrians sporting those in Japan, supposedly to reduce the effect of pollution on them..

PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

They might be undergoing Chemo, or taking some sort of immuno-suppresant drugs. Perhaps they are just out to get some nice entertainment before heading home to rest, relax, and kill 'sorta' zombies.

EDIT: Or I guess there are other answers related to Japan, I am just accustom to living near a major cancer center where it is not uncommon to see people wearing masks.

Apart from that decent length que shown in the second to last picture, this doesn't look that impressive.
