I see.
It's very interesting.
In Japan, "entering" is very difficult, so they celebrate it.
if you believe or not, "graduating" is not so difficult in Japan...
I know many college students kind of stop studying hard once they passed their exam to enter the college...
I was like that too.
I started studying properly after I went to Australia.
Anyway,
here is a website you can have a look
to see what Japanese people wear and care about the entrance ceremony...

In a way, it *is* an entrance ceremony, but much more informal and group-oriented.
Though in the past, the college I attend did have what could be called a "formal" entrance ceremony. Its purpose was mainly to sort students into groups according to area of study, then further on to individual classes if a group was too large. It was rather awkward and more suited to a high school setting, in my opinion.
