世論 What Japan Thinks

Following my recent 100 top goo Japan search keywords of the year translation(with the top 10 covered in detail over at Recognize Design), we now have the top 50 words looked up in goo’s English to Japanese dictionary in the first 10 months of the year. As with the search terms, one suspects that the four-letter words have been filtered out. This time there is no score for each of the keywords to reflect their frequency.

I don’t know why vomit sneaked in at the bottom, and redundance seems a bit odd, but redundancy also maps to the same definition when looked up.

I also thought it was quite funny seeing bear in 30th place as I do get an occasional search like “how to say bear in Japanese”. Oh, it’s 熊, くま, kuma, just in case you are here actually searching for bear in Japanese. That’s the Japanese for the animal kind of bear, anyway.
