世論 What Japan Thinks

japan.internet.com reported on a recent survey conducted by goo Research into video sharing sites. 1,088 members of goo Research’s monitor group completed a private internet-based survey.

Demographics

Of the 1,088 users, 52.2% were male, 24.7% were in their twenties, 22.4% in their thirties, 21.7% in their forties, 20.9% in their fifties, and 10.3% in their sixties.

In just under a year since a similar survey was conducted (May 2006), the number of people who have visited a video sharing site has multiplied by a factor of over 2.4. However, the raw percentage of uploaders has decreased drastically, but looking at the raw numbers, there has really been little change.

Forgive me a little off-topicness, but since many other Japan bloggers like to entertain their viewers with video clips, this survey seems a good excuse for me to present a short film from YouTube (undoubtedly illegally shared!) of what I consider to be young Japanese women at their finest:
