Oh god this is amazing. And the girls are cute too. Mitsuka-kun/Tailred should be proud.

Japan celebrates everything, and I mean anything. Laughing

And appropriately, the only award it will ever receive.

I like the fiery multicolored twintails on the first model to the left.

That's what it sounded like to me, but I don't know how long these awards have been going on. It sounds like a confusingly big deal, these twintail awards.

That's Japan for you though. I don't think most girls past the age of 12 in North America would be caught dead with a twintails hairstyle outside of special events or acting.

Yume Miyazawa, author of the light novels Gonna be the Twin-Tail!!, which were later adapted into an anime series in 2014, won a special award for his contributions to twin tail culture.

Now, imagine the awards show if the anime was airing this season, instead of the previous one. Special screening, photographs with the cast & staff, merchandise and whatnot.

That is my sentiment on things like this. If nothing else, it made me smile a bit.

Never really got into this show because one question just kept nagging me. Why twin-tails? This is way too specific for me to a point where I would be constantly annoyed about it, if you get what I mean. Didn't aliens come and declare all the twin-tails theirs? What's to prevent them from kidnapping a girl and just binding her hair into twin tails? Or better yet, why don't the characters just not wear twin tails?
