世論 What Japan Thinks

goo Ranking published today the results of one of their ranking surveys into what costumes people would like to try on in private, for both men and women. As usual for goo Rankings, there is no demographic information, and the top-scoring costume gets 100 points and all the rest get rates as a percentage of the top rank. Both surveys were conducted over a three day period towards the end of September.

Note that for some of the costumes it does not specify if it is male or female, such as for the women selecting Harry Potter; whether it is Harry himself they want to dress up as or as Hermione is not clear. However, I feel it is safe to assume that cross-dressing in private is a popular desire.

I’ve also linked a few of the costumes to work-safe material, so don’t worry too much about clicking on the links.

Finally, despite evidence to the contrary, dressing up in a kilt (outside of schoolgirl uniforms, perhaps) was not popular.
