Bustiness substitutes for speediness as “the woman with the anime body” finally gets into the fad.
While “fidget spinner” has become the preferred term among English speakers for the revolving stress-relief toys that exploded in popularity earlier this year, Japan has largely decided to call them “hand spinners,” or hando supina in the locally corrupted pronunciation.
I realize that words evolve and adapt as they spread to other languages, but I really have to say that I think fidget spinner is the linguistically superior term. Not only does “hand spinner” fail to convey the needless yet satisfying nature of a fidget spinner, but it also ignores the fact that you don’t actually need to hold the spinner in your hand.
To demonstrate, here’s Japanese gravure model Jun Amaki, showing off her skills with what she calls an oppai (“boob”) spinner.
While Amaki uses her fingers to give the blades their initial twirl, after that she’s able to keep them spinning just by blowing a puff of air down towards her chest, where the spinner is perched. In addition to entertaining her thousands of online followers, Amaki’s mammary dexterity seems to have left at least one bird in enthralled rapture, with its cheerful chirping audible throughout the video.
The reaction to Amaki’s performance was so positive that she’s since followed it up with another video in which she’s upgraded to a a three-blade spinner.

Some may wonder why Amaki has chosen now to post the videos, seeing as how the fidget/hand/boob spinner craze is dying down. The timing is fitting with her usual activities though, as there was a similar wait of a few months before Amaki indulged in trends including the virgin-killing sweater, PPAP, and “the string” from anime Danmachi. And so once again Amaki proves that even late arrivals can be welcome additions to the party, as long as they bring an ample supply of something with widespread enough popularity.
