The Japanese Internet celebrates Nice Boobs Day 2017

Bevy of busty beauties from the modeling and cosplay worlds take part in pun-based festivities.

Despite widespread popularity stretching back generations, puns and breasts are often relegated to dirty-pleasure status in many modern societies. Japan, though, remains steadfastly unabashed in its appreciation for a turn of phrase or bounce of chest, and those passions dovetailed on November 8.

Written numerically, November 8 becomes 11-8, or 11-08, if you want to use all possible digits. In Japanese, “1” can be read as i and “8” as ppai. And while it’s not an indigenous reading, you could fudge the rules a bit and read “0” as o, due to its similarity to between-N-and-P letter of the alphabet. Once you’re done jumping through all those hoops, you end up with 11-08 becoming “ii oppai, which just so happens to be how you say “nice boobs” in Japanese.

The logic was sound enough for Japanese Twitter users, and so November 8 has become Nice Boobs Day in Japanese online circles, with gravure swimsuit models kicking off the festivities with shared snapshots.

Speaking of Japanese animation, November 8 was also a busy day for cosplayers, who marked the occasion by posing in in low-cut anime and anime-inspired outfits.

Some cosplayers couldn’t decide on a single set of clothing to represent the day, instead opting to post collages.

Alternatively, some contributors chose to take the focus off their apparel with extreme close-ups.

Due to its linguistic origins, Ii Oppai Day was mainly celebrated by Japanese models, including Tsubura and extra-tan Rina Hashimoto, the so-called “Black Diamond” of the Japanese gravure industry.

But the hashtag managed to transcend national borders as even some overseas cosplayers got in on the act.
