You may not have known, but February 2 was Twin Tail Day in Japan. Silly as it may sound, this day commemorating the pigtail hairstyle is in fact an official day recognized by the Japan Anniversary Association. The date, 2/2, was chosen because the shape presented by hair done up in a twin tail style resembles the number “2”. There are few traditions associated with this strange holiday, but the most common is to post pictures of yourself wearing your hair in pigtails on Twitter. Let’s take a look at just a few of the top trending pictures of girls celebrating Twin Tail Day. You’re welcome.



























▼ Guys are welcome to join in the fun too!

One day simply isn’t enough for such a fantastic display of youth and cuteness! If you haven’t had enough of adorable twin tail girls, follow the Twin Tail Association of Japan on Twitter for more lovely pictures!
