Here in Japan there is a growing trend for November 8th to be “nice breasts day”.
We’re not sure how this started — it’s certainly not official! — but it seems to be a wordplay on the Japanese name and how you can read the numbers “11/08″ to sound like “ii oppai” (nice breasts).
People tweeted lovely images of their busts using the hashtag #いいおっぱいの日.
Many famous Gravure models and idols took part too, including Yuka Kuramochi and Megumi Aisaka. (In fact, as far as we can tell from a cursory search, the photos seemed mainly or even exclusively to be models.)
Here is a selection of such of the best busty selfies from the trend, celebrating Japanese breasts at their finest and proving once and for all that not all Japanese girls have flat chests.

A similar breast selfie trend happens on August 1st (a play on “08/01″ was “zero eight” can be read as “oh-hai”, which is close to “oppai” or “breasts”). We look forward to the next one!
