About This Trend

ハイタッチ会 is a trend about Japanese high school students gathering to accumulate as many high-fives (haitatchi) as they can from strangers, often in public places like train stations or shopping malls. It's currently popular on social media because it's seen as a fun and unique way for teenagers to break out of their shells, challenge social norms, and create entertaining content for their online friends.
