From the 6th to the 9th of July 2012 1,016 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 60.0% of the sample were female, 9.9% in their teens, 12.7% in their twenties, 29.0% in their thirties, 27.0% in their forties, 11.0% in their fifties, and 10.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
My younger generation of readers will be disappointed to see that the zombie apocalypse (warning, contains swearing!) does not feature anywhere, and my older ones will note that number 19 is the closest to the truth:
Between the 17th and 19th of July 2012 600 respondents between the ages of 20 and 59 were chosen by some means to complete a survey. The only further demographic information was that they all drove a car at least once per month.
I’lll be doing one of my three drives a year on Friday, when I go off to visit various graves for Obon. The car I rent from Toyota comes with a navigation system as standard, but the maps are often a year or so out of date, unfortunately. Indeed, one of the graves we’ll be visiting has had a new housing estate built nearby and opened about two years ago, but the maps are not yet updated and every time I almost miss the turn as there is no announcement!

With what seems like most television commercials in Japan featuring a search keyword, and a few more specifically pointing to a continuation of the advert story on their web site, goo Research decided to take a look at television commercials with web search prompts, with the results of the survey being reported on japan.internet.com.
Demographics
Between the 23th and 25th of July 2012 1,100 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.9% of the sample were male, 16.4% in their teens, 17.8% in their twenties, 21.5% in their thirties, 16.4% in their forties, 15.6% in their fifties, and 12.3% aged sixty or older.
What might have been a nice question to ask regarding these people who searched for a keyword but couldn’t find the page would have been what search engine they used, and if they used any sort of advertisement blocker.
I don’t think I’ve ever searched for a keyword from a television advertisement, so I’ll cheat by searching for the Japanese for “Continued on the web”, and present the first related video that I can embed in my post, so apologies in advance if the following is incredibly boring!
Over the 8th and 9th of June 2012 1,092 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 60.1% of the sample were female, 10.8% in their teens, 15.8% in their twenties, 28.9% in their thirties, 26.3% in their forties, 10.2% in their fifties, and 8.0% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. This survey was for the women only.
Being a guy (although one of little experience!) I shall withhold comment on this survey! Read the rest of this entry »

When I lived in Scotland I enjoyed going home for Christmas, but I suppose I felt I wanted to return when I ran out of conversation topics! However, now living on the other side of the world, the chances for returning are few and the time always feels so short, so my answer to the question now would be “Never!” Read the rest of this entry »
With the Japanese government’s energy policy in the public consultation phase, this survey from the curiously-named Cyber Casting and PR into energy awareness gives a snapshot of opinions on energy issues.
Demographics
Between the 25th and 29th of June and the 16th and 18th of July, 1,032 members of the Cyber Casting and PR online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. All those who took part were between 20 and 59 years of age, but no further breakdown by age or sex was given, nor why or how the survey was split over two periods.
I’ll note that Q2 is a badly worded question that leads the respondant to select some degree of worry.
As someone who sees nuclear as a necessary evil these days, and more importantly as someone who (in my own estimation) listens with an open mind to news from Fukushima, I accept that more people have died already from the stress of evacuation that will ever die from cancer caused by the radiation leaks, yet due to incompetence and arrogance from the government and scientic spokespeople, the message does not get through. The latest figure I have heard is that based on studies in Chernobyl, those who evacuated and didn’t return home have worse health prognoses when mental health-related issues are taken into consideration, compared to those that didn’t leave or evacuated but shortly returned.
I occasionally search various variants of my name just to make sure my Google profile remains relatively clean, so I’m quite used to seeing it appear, but this survey from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, into web search focused on how the Japanese search for themselves and people they know.
Demographics
Between the 3rd and 5th of July 2012 1,092 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.4% of the sample were male, 16.1% in their teens, 17.9% in their twenties, 21.2% in their thirties, 15.8% in their forties, 16.7% in their fifties, and 12.4% aged sixty or older.
Actually, recently I get annoyed when I search for my name as my Google+ posting history is crowding out the long tail just a bit too much these days.
I’ve searched for my wife, but there’s nothing in Japanese and just one wrong hit about a UK-based ballroom dancer with the same name. However, she has another name that can be searched to produce her graduation photos, although I’m not going to tell you what that is. Read the rest of this entry »

My wife does the photos (and videos) everywhere, seeing the sights through the viewfinder, which I do find awfully pointless. From the two tours I’ve been on, the biggest single surprise to me was rather than number 5, doing everything in a group, was the unwillingness to do things on one’s own, instead relying on the guide to do everything.
