世論 What Japan Thinks

Let’s spend a romantic moment or two together looking at a survey from goo Ranking conducted back towards the end of September into what pair of items unmarried couples would want to go shopping for with their lover, for both women and men. You hopefully know all about the lack of demographics and how the scoring works already.

As for me, maybe I’m just a tight-fisted git, but I always enjoy buying mobile straps together. Currently my phone features the following pair items: one 50th anniversary Miffy (actually, her brown dog), three Tottoros in a chain, one Hello Kitty Kobe Airport opening memorial Jumbo Kitty, and one Hello Kitty Kobe Weather-Cock House Weather Kitty Cock.

Q: What matching items would you like to get for your boyfriend?
