I did it last night in Amsterdam .
I`m born and raised in Holland so i`m part of the indiginous species but we get alot of Japanese tourists who take pictures left and right and whenever i see one around and i`m not in a rush i always just do a RANDOM pose usually involving "V" ! or the disco fever pointing your finger to the sky pose

They get a REAL kick out of that .
Its just funny to randomly do the pose :)

Its not something we do here, its very rare to see someone do the V-sign while taking a picture here. Personally I think its normally done when your happy while taking pictures and I don't do it

seems like the v-sign is very common and overused. i find it really unfortunate that so many people are so insecure having their picture taken that they have to do something with their hands...such as the v-sign....most dont even know what it means...they just do it cos everyone else does it...how sad and unfortunate.

little does everyone know that the v-sign is actually to denote the act of..."i give cunnilingus" or " i want cunnilingus"...haha

Who ever calls themselves real anime and japan fans should at least have accidentally done it at least once. Originally, dull American hippies did it as a sign of how stoned and clueless they were. When the Japanese do it, its a sign of coolness in my book. Its far better than the mentally challenged "East-side", "west-side" symbol, still done in New York. People who still do that will fall over their pants that are mostly fallen off anyways which will always look far more awkward than the "V" might appear to some.

I really like the peace sign. Its more laid back than waving, and looks cute when girlies do it n__n.

I very rarely do it in this country, as its not common practice, and im a pretty self-consious person, but whenever im in Japan, i do it as often as i can :-D

I dont quite understand the variations on it though, like some schoolgirl-age girls do the V sign kinda like a lobster's claw - looks strange...!

Wow, that could be called a Japapnese tradition now. *laughs* Even the small kid does it... He must have learned that early. ^^;

I did use to do that sometimes, when I was younger in my crazy moments (no intoxication, no hanging out with friends though *insert sadness here*); however, you would never see that in any of my pictures (I don't like being on photographs or camera and I can't explain why).
I already don't smile usually (maybe it is changing now), so asking me to go for a V-sign when I don't feel like to is too much to ask.

Not only I don't express my feelings too much but I also feel that going for a Peace sign would turn me into a temporary poser (no offense to people who do it on a regular basis). XD

Peace or V sign aside, I always find the Japanese fun to photograph. Unlike westerner they don't stand around like a bunch of stiffs when you point a camera in their direction. Although this is not a hard fast rule. Japanese just appear more relaxed when photographed, even when they are nervous about it.

When I look at photos with my fiancee, our friends and family, I always find the Japanese will to have a little fun at their own expense. It's nice to find people who don't always take themselves so serious.

Yes, I have flashed the V-sign often. It has become habit now and I do it without thinking.

DANNY! Thank you for posting this, it explains a lot more about the background, which is what I wanted to know. Its interesting how much of modern culture is steeped in tradition. I laughed out loud when I saw this post because I was so curious the other day when you left me with that enigmatic answer! Thanks Danny! "^^>"

"The Japanese Wikipedia for the entry Peace Sign, however, says that there is a theory that the two fingers mean that two nuclear bombs where dropped on Japan meaning that peace is near"

The fingers represent bombs? And the bombs represent that peace is near? What kind of twisted symbolism is that?

It's an epidemic originated from Japan and now spread through the entire eastern Asia.

And someone should tell the ladies in the pictures to not hold the two fingers right in front of their mouth, that sign holds an entirely different connotation around here (^_^)

I do sometimes, its fun and shows LOVE FOR PEACE, well back in europe it was always used for peace and victory sometimes, but usually it is peace sign. In USA I rarely see anyone do it, but I like doing it. V for V

Japanese people tend to do it more then everyone else, but I think its good. Everyone should use it, maybe we will have more peace this way.

I rarely use the V sign if at all. Course, I rarely am photographed. Not to say I never used it. I've used it in the past behind someone's head so that the fingers acted like ears. Doubtful that qualifies, though.

i wonder why it's V. my friend told me since he's been teaching swimming lessons on japanese and korean students here in our region, the V sign is a pose so that the picture will not be boring at all.

I've been doing the V sign since I was a kid. I always do mine different though. I never hold it straight up. I do mine, back of hand face away and sideways.

Actually its the official Japanese Gang sign. ;)

It took 12 years of marriage but I broke my wife of this particular habit. However, during my last trip to Japan my 11 year old nephew and his mom kept doing it. I can forgive an 11 year old but come one people, learn to pose (^_^)

It not just a Japanese thing any more. "V Sign" had spread to other parts of Asia. You can't get a nice non-v-sign photo any more.

I my self prefer the Vulcan sign. (Star Trek)

"live long and prosper"

It's popular here as well. I asked some of my friends who do that and all they say is that it looks cute. Can't really understand that. heheh.

I have a picture of me doing the V-sign in a a sticker photo booth. That's pretty much the best place to do it.

I remember as a kid living on Guam, coming home from school, these 3 Japanese tourists pulled me and wanted to have a picture with me. I noticed they were doing the "V-sign" so I decided to do that too.

Not sure about the rest of you, but in my hometown, we like to put up the V sign behind others' head when taking photos, making the people in front of us look as if they have little horns behind their head XD

Plain fun and mischievous ^_^

Ngee_Khiong, I also did that as a kid, but I wasn't that mean to do it on pictures.
We had another meaning though... it was about giving bunny ears to the unsuspecting target and faking innocence when he/she was suspecting something. XD

I feel it is much more spread out for a practice than you think. :)

I never make and as far as I know never made a V-sign on any picture. I don't see many people (apart from tourists) making the V-sign here in Holland, even the middle finger is more popular here. ^^"

I asked a couple of Japanese people about this while I was in Japan a couple of years ago and they had no idea why they do it. People do this in China as well.

It's probably just a habit they've picked up when they're still kids. Kinda goes with the "Yatta!" or "Weeeee~" expressions.

As of late, I tend to throw up the horns instead of a peace sign. And, again, lately I've been giving two fingers rather than the finger. I blame Hot Fuzz. "So jog on. Pttthhhbbbttt."

Whatever started this, it's probably long forgotten... one of those things people do as a standard. Reflex.

And yes, I love kawaii girls taking pics with the V sign. :P

Interesting though, on animes, I don't see many characters posing with the V sign.

A common sight among Singaporean youths too. But my V signs stand for 'vendetta', not 'victory'.

My girlfriend from Hong Kong says they (in HK, that is) do it because it means "win", which I suppose is the same as victory. You may already know this, but in the USA, we consider it to mean "peace."

late post and all and most prob dont care but in regards to what Steve Sparkes said about the english french bowmen comment my understanding is that, at the time, it was impossible for an archer to draw a long bow w/o their middle finger hence the apposing side would simply remove it if they caught them. as far as the story i heard goes english archers would often flip the french off trying to be cocky and all. this is the only reasonable story ive heard as to where the whole middle finger thing came from.

I do that, but to the EXTREME. That's right, my multi-jointed fingers are capable of doing the Vash "Love and Peace" sign... ok not really, but I can dream :D!

I just do it naturally? o.O

Oh so it means "V"ictory and peace huh? I thought it was for poking people in the eyes... The ones in your head not the other one...

LOL, just noticed, the boy in the second last pic... I guess he has an itch down there... OR Is trying to maintain his manly desires...

In France it means "victory", but it is considered a stupid thing to do, most people use the "big thumb up"... I really hate to see this V-sign on Japanese photos, they seem stupid, maybe a cultural difference... :/

I always thought it meant Peace. Now it also means Victory? >=) , v(^_^)v .

Maybe I should start do the v-sign.

Wow im incredibly late to this post lol

Im a 20 Year old White British guy and i've noticed i've started to use it ALOT over the past month or so, even for Myspace photos and all that, does that make me kind of weird for using it?

i think most asians uses the V sign when we take photos. I know i do.

haha i like the little kid on the bike looking away while throwin up the V.
I don't do the V-sign for any photos, but I used it once while I was in Japan. I guess it was more for V for victory, since I'd just gotten to the top of Mt. Fuji. When in Rome...or Japan lol. I call it the universal fob symbol...

i dont feel like doing any v sign now. feel like its an outdated moved. haha but it does make some remembering how everyone posed in the photo.

I used to not do it but all my Japanese friends kept telling me to do so. It's kind of a automatic reaction now.

peace. V(-_-)V

@the photo of the boy on the bike(tricycle?)
True gangster.

Not very much. I'd like to, but it just seems weird when I do...

I'm always on the other side of the camera. Theses days it's a Canon EOS 5D. Anyone thinking about getting the EOS 5D Mark II?

V(^-^)m FOR ALL i like
me gusta

i use two hand peace sign and make W instead of V form, just make art using your fingers both feet and hands

I made the V sign only once but it was kind of embarrassing. Usually, in the south, we stand and maybe smile. I did it cause it felt even more ackward to take my picture in front of Kyoto Animation standing all serious.

intresting!

if im in a photo i'll do it "chuck the duece"

Sometimes yeah, but mostly no. To tell the truth, I don't think there are many recent pics of me anyways... XD
But no, it's not very usual here in Brazil. :P

Koharu is so cute!!!!
I never do the V sign in photos, I don't like them.
I use it when I say friends good bye or see you later, always.

3rd pic has 3 of my favorite Morning Musume girls! x3

Double-post
I find it funny when girls do the V sign like the girl in kimono with a red flower on her hair just before the pic with kid in a bike.
You know, the V sign with one finger in each cheek.

It's cute, but in some countries it can be a very very dirty gesture. XD

Heh. I tend to use it more often now.

I like the 'salute' post some kawaii girls do too ^^

I use middle finger more!!...== joking..
I always use ....Victory sign

I love 1, 2 (V Sign), 3 finger gestures next to the pouting lips so cute~~~

I do it all the time! haha My friend says it's a fobby Asian thing but so many nonAsians do it too.

I don't do the V sign thing except for when I am making fun of my friend who does it. I mean I have nothing against it, I just like teasing him about it.

I love doing the peace sign in pics, or just doing it in everyday life

BTW if you do that sign to an British person you have to be careful to face the palm toward them because otherwise it is very rude.

Sometimes foreigners use the two fingers to mean 2.

I thought Mario popularized it. =P

wtf was the girl in the last photo doing? i mean...can that even count as a V-sigh? its like a weir looking W-sign to me.

In the UK, the British find people posing with a V sign in front of a camera really weird as they find it quite cheesy. And usually the girls do it more than the guys do.

Damnnn, The girl in the last pic is throwing up 4GM XD (Chicago Gang)

Where I live it's sorta like a stereotypical thing for an Asian girl to do when taking pictures (I guess they weren't wrong =/)
I just do it when I'm having fun with friends or something.

(^___^)v

v^__^v

Although I don't think it's uncool to do the V-sign, I do feel it's way overdone, so throw the horns instead of the V-sign; nobody I know (besides two relatives) throw the horns when having pictures taking.

Dude when i lived in Japan, we made a huge V-sign pic with all my classmates! Haha it's sort of a natural instinct to do that now. Recently though i've tried that Ranka-chan sign. ^^

I don't do the sign, but I don't see why people can find it uncool. Nothing better than a simple hand gesture to express happiness.

i do it most
and i didn't know that it means peace >_<
well i know w/o taking a pic, it means peace
but in taking picture
i think it is like saying hello
you know :P

Interesting.

I started doing it with my asian friends while in Grad School. They got me into doing it.

I have a feeling that I have seen somebody making the V sign when photographed, but I don't remember where I sow that. It's on common here.

That last one isn't a peace sign, it's "The Shocker" XD

A common university college sign, with a VERY different context. :o

I do the peace sign . . . but it looks cuter when Japanese girls do it.

Is there a difference is you do it with the palm facing the camera or the back of your hand facing the camera?

Wow it's 50/50 now.. Yeah I usually do the V too nowadays too, not really sure why but I just do.

I always do the V sign when taking photo

Ah, I *knew* I saw this article last year, lol. Am I the only one?... I get it now. Since the "Same Day, Last Year" section was removed from this new portal design, the post is simply re-dated to the current year. Which explains why this post appeared in my Google Reader as a new post, and why new comments are replying to comments made 12 months ago, lol. Very sneaky, hehe. ^_~

Although its a real old post I thought i was a good read and fun looking through the pictures. Here in the States its called the peace sign so everyone knows it means peace. I always thought it was because the fingers and hand make the three lines in the circle of a peace sign. Anyways I used to do it a lot when I was a kid and then stopped for a while but then I've started doing it again for no particular reason. All my prom pictures have me giving the peace sign.

I heard that Taiwanese Pop stars have their own versions. Rainie Yang for example.

peace everybody!

the V-sign of japanese people make me sick
so difficult to take an ordinary photo without it

ok! awesome

2nd last pic was just wrong

Peace for all!

^^V love and peace!

Sometimes it helps you see whether the person was aware they were being photographed. (Although it's usually fairly obvious)

I don't do it, but don't mind seeing others do it. Most japanese photos seem odd without it.

Seriously , The Japanese people has gotta stop doing the v sign , its just too predictable .

Everytime , I see a chinese do a v-sign then I know for instant its a Japanese.

Haha it's sorta popular here but I hardly see that now

When I think of the horizontal V by the eyes I remember Sailor V!

Ai-ya. *Slaps forehead*

I do it rarely when someone take picture of me maybe that I'm a male? or photo shy?

Nice to get an explanation at least! The article on Kirainet is quite right too, the V-sign is really popular in China also, almost everybody uses it when their photo is taken, and very often on other occasions too.

Nice read as always! ^^

hahaha! I like the little kid on the bike.

He's prolly like, "check it yo!"
(^_^)

The "V" sign has been around for as long as I can remember. The cool way the Japanese use it sideways by the eyes is just kawaii as far as I'm concerned! In the "Dennou Coil" anime, the kids use the sideways "V" to shoot AR beams from their foreheads. And of course this Vocaloid video in YouTube shows the eye "V": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syh4NTOIvfc

digging up an OLD post but I work dominos as well! check the girl in the last photo :D

PEACE! v(^_^)v

m/ for me. lol

I don't do V-signs but I like the horizontal version too!

lol that last girl looks like she's doing the shocker.. i much prefer doing the backwards v.. you know, like how the brits do it when they tell you to bvgger off.. lol..

V is for Victory....when i do it feel like i am saying to the photographer you got owned :) or maybe that's the only time i do it :D
