Over the 20th and 21st of December 2010 1,128 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.4% of the sample were female, 11.9% in their teens, 17.2% in their twenties, 30.2% in their thirties, 23.2% in their forties, 10.0% in their fifties, and 7.4% 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.
I haven’t the slightest idea what number seven is all about! I couldn’t really make sense of the Japanese; it must be some strange ritual?
For me, it would have been singing ditties by The Smiths all day.

The answer is not alcohol, but this survey from goo Ranking found thirty other reasons why not so cute girls can be hot.

For me, it has to be women with a quirky character, specifically an air of shrewdness, a combination of 21, the second 26 and 28, and number 2 is the icing on the cake. Wifey only manages 21, and 2 of course, but she doesn’t fall into the alluring but plain category, so I’ll forgive her! Read the rest of this entry »

Looking at the rest of the list, colour coordinator sticks out like a sore thumb as a rather mickey mouse qualification. Number 12, weather forecaster, is a curious facet of Japan – gaining the qualification is rather difficult, but many, many people try for it just for the sake of having it, it seems.

Come examination time, many Japanese students seem keen to follow superstitions to bring them a pass; finding out the most popular was the subject of a recent survey from goo Ranking.

Come exam time and the shops are filled with sweets with good luck-related themes. Kit-Kats are a perennial favourite as their name sounds like “Definite Win”; corn snacks called Carl become U-Carl, as it sounds like “to pass an exam”; Mr Donut this year had five-sided (sounds like “to pass an exam”) doughnuts with rather corny puns, and so on.
Between the 19th and 22nd of November 2010 1,171 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.2% of the sample were female, 11.3% in their teens, 19.1% in their twenties, 29.0% in their thirties, 23.4% in their forties, 9.6% in their fifties, and 7.6% 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. Note that for this question only the women answered.
It’s my favourite sort of survey as there’s always scope for answers to stray into downright weird territory, with this being no exception, although it could have got even more creepy, I suppose. Number 3 is quite a sad answer, as many Japanese women in the entertainment industry at least set themselves targets of getting married by a specific age. Number 30 initially seems very low, but remember that 30% of women in their twenties who marry have a bun in the oven, and only 10% of babies are born out of wedlock. Read the rest of this entry »

Much to my surprise, “all of them” is not the top answer! Most of the Japanese I know have rather poor table manners overall (and even here and there their Japanese table manners leave something to be desired), but this survey seems to be dealing with finer points of etiquette. Personally, not being female I don’t know number 4, and I’m not 100% certain on finger bowls, but I think I’ve only once been at a meal where they have been present. Read the rest of this entry »
Or indeed man, what symptoms are there? That was the question from goo Ranking, which was answered by both men and women.

One obvious (perhaps “obvious” is not really the best word to use) symptom for men has probably been removed from their results on the grounds of taste, but if you recall the next line from the Dr Hook hit in the title, you will catch my drift. Anyway, on with the results! Read the rest of this entry »
Despite the New Year having already gone – Happy New Year to all my readers – let’s do a post on a survey from goo Ranking looking at when people feel the New Year is approaching.

To liven up today’s survey, I’ll embed a few pictures and videos of the events. I feel it getting near when it comes time to prepare New Year postcards, which we usually start around the end of November. Read the rest of this entry »
Despite being the holidays, I cannot miss my Sunday entertainment for you all, so here goes with a goo Ranking survey looking at what kinds of love people yearned for when they were in high school, for both men and women.

Translating the list, I remembered the one I had, love with the trainee teacher – we once had a French teacher-in-training coming to visit our remote islands for a term of hands-on practise, which was nice. Other than that, I wasn’t really into all that nonsense when I was a lad.
