Japanese girls and women often excite shake in distinct ways that are different from other nationalities. I have seen many girls of many other nationalities shake in such ways too, however, in their cases it's an individual idiosyncratic shake whereas most Japanese girls by default shake in such ways. As an example, surely you've seen the raised shoulders with slight post-elbow elevation and notable detachment as the primary posture in expression of excitement, in contrast with most girls of most nationalities whose primary posture involves pushing the shoulders forward with notable post-elbow elevation but only minor detachment. When excessive shaking happens, Japanese girls focus their shake in one direction and begin to scoot but non-Japanese girls shake back and forth in such a way that keeps scooting to a minimum. The momentum of shaking is more commonly concentrated on the hands (fists) for non-Japanese girls, and on the whole arms for Japanese girls with secondary shaking on the hands (fists). Naturally many more variants also exist, with different degrees of expressed excitement and even more notably volition.

Of course these are generalisations so many exceptions happen, but the pattern holds true once you observe it and begin to take note of the differences. Pic related is a diagram that shows the common distinct Japanese and worldwide excite shake motions, though please note that it isn't representative of any other national variants and the globe's centering on Japan is only because the implication is that Japan is "excluded" from the lower shake variant despite that also being common in Japan too. It simply shows the common distinction that I've observed between Japanese girls and other girls, without a claim to absolute exclusivity. Many girls around the world may express excitement in exactly the same way as Japanese girls with the upper variant, and many Japanese girls may express excitement in exactly the non-Japanese variant, and it appears from my observations that there is no practical distinction for Japanese girls whereas for non-Japanese girls using the Japanese variant is more self-aware and playful, potentially even significantly exaggerated for the purpose of expressing exuberant excitement. A very tentative speculative pattern may be that in Japan, the worldwide variant is more common for very young girls (middle school and below) and the Japanese variant begins to dominate at high school age. Conversely, it may be that outside of Japan the Japanese variant is associated with youth, albeit indirectly because the association for men's attitude to girls doing it could be that it's "annoying" and "immature" instead of a clear direct correlation with youth per se. Why this polar shift between the variants and their relative youthfulness exists, if it exists and isn't merely a biased observation, is unknown to me. Maybe it's because the more common variant is conceptualised as "less exaggerated" whichever it is.

If you know any JAV scenes featuring either the Japanese variant excite shake or the worldwide variant, then please post some! I've certainly seen both (more commonly the Japanese variant) in JAV too but don't remember any titles.
