Yet another regular survey was reborn, this time it was goo Research’s look at mobile phone video use, expanded now to explicitly include smartphones.
Demographics
Between the 5th and 9th of September 2011 1,000 members of the goo Research mobile monitors completed a private mobile phone or smartphone-based survey. 58.1% of the sample were female, 3.4% in their teens, 22.3% in their twenties, 38.0% in their thirties, 26.9% in their forties, and 9.4% aged fifty or older.
I’m not sure what silly cat clips fall under, although I would guess that it would be more likely to be self- or friend-shot video rather than other, judging by the relative percentages! Read the rest of this entry »
Another regular survey from goo Research resets back to one, but at least this time there is a valid reason for it. The subject was terrestrial digitial television, and since just over a month ago analogue broadcasts were turned off (except for in the earthquake affected prefectures of Miyagi, Fukushima and Iwate) it seems a good excuse to make the change.
Demographics
Between the 15th and 17th of August 2011 1,090 members of the goo Research monitor panel completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.1% of the sample were male, 16.5% in their teens, 18.3% in their twenties, 21.6% in their thirties, 16.1% in their forties, and 27.5% aged fifty or older.

IP simulcast radio is simultaneously broadcasting radio over the airwaves and the internet. The BBC don’t call it anything special with just a “Listen Live” label, but the main Japanese rebroadcaster/aggregator, radiko.jp (note it checks your IP address to give you your local stations only, and only for Tokyo and Osaka areas) has “IP simulcast radio” as part of its logo.
Talking of the area lock of radiko, after the earthquake they removed the area block so everyone could listen. And then reintroduced the block on the first of April.
Finally, NHK will start simulcasting their Radio 1 and Radio 2 channels from next month. Read the rest of this entry »

According to the blurb, the current circulation is 2.935 million per week, with the record sales being from 1994, when they sold 6.53 million copies one week! I’ve not got much to say on this subject, not being a manga fan, but I will say that I was disappointed to see so many pirate and bootleg sites appearing in my Google searches for the titles.

I’ve not tried internet radio; I left the UK just before it really took off, so never got into the habit of listening to it. Back at home I always woke up to serious breakfast news radio (I never really enjoyed music radio), but now nothing more than an alarm clock gets me up in the morning, and over breakfast the television is easier.
