I’m back from a short holiday, just in time for the New Year break. I should keep blogging during this week, however, so I’ll start off the way every week starts, with goo Ranking looking at surprise presents from boyfriends that women would flee from.
Demographics
Between the 5th and 7th of November 2012 1,049 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.8% of the sample were female, 10.2% in their teens, 14.6% in their twenties, 27.5% in their thirties, 25.1% in their forties, 11.0% in their fifties, and 11.7% 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 question was for the women only.
I think if number 12 was professionally done, in particular the various mascot characters (excluding the Yubari Melon Bear, perhaps), it would be nice, but on the other hand if it was him dressed up in a bargain-basement Pikachu set I could well understand the reluctance!
Regarding number 8, a friend of mine once used a life-sized giant turtle toy as a successful chat-up device, but that’s another story… Read the rest of this entry »
Over the 5th and 6th of October 2012 1,064 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.2% of the sample were female, 10.5% in their teens, 13.7% in their twenties, 26.6% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 11.7% in their fifties, and 9.9% aged sixty or older.

Although this survey applied to both past and current moments, I have as I usually do translated everything in the present tense as it looks better that way.
I only really felt envy with regards to the second 3=, 6, 16 and the third 22. However, now I feel pride that many people appear to be envious (in a good way, I hasten to add) of us. Read the rest of this entry »
From the 5th to the 7th of September 2012 1,006 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.4% of the sample were female, 10.5% in their teens, 13.7% in their twenties, 26.6% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 11.7% in their fifties, and 9.9% aged sixty or older.

I’m not sure about the fruit angle, and a rocket launcher or scissors is getting just a bit too silly! I’m unable to find a suitable glasses image, so instead here is someone wearing glasses but holding a pineapple:
Macromill Research recently conducted a ranking survey into 2012 trends.
Demographics
Between the 1st and 3rd of December 2012 exactly 1,000 members of the Macromill monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. The sample was 50:50 male and female, and exactly 20% in each of their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, and sixties.
I find the votes for Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Momoiro Clover Z rather surprising, as I thought they both would have a very narrow demographic of fan. Talking of fans, I remember seeing an interview with some of their fans. One of the group’s signature moves is stage diving, so the fans have a very particular way of linking arms for catching them that ensures no-one either accidentally (or deliberately) cops a feel.
Here’s a video of Ms Pamyu, which is also rather disordered…

Number 16 was the first one I knew, having seen it used and explained on TV just last week!

I’ll use “him” throughout the survey as managerial posts are overwhelmingly staffed by males, and anyway most of the complaints sound like they are about men, not women.
Fortunately I don’t have a boss who suffers from 5, both 7s, 9, 11, 14, 17 to 22, and 27, if you catch my drift. Here’s the best BOSS in Japan:
goo Ranking had a look at the charms of plump guys; I’ll keep my eyes open for the female equivalent, of course!

I cannot think of anything to add to this, so here instead is someone looking fat and gentle…

In university one of the guys I flat-shared with was an only child, and he probably matched just about every answer here! Read the rest of this entry »

For me, it’s not getting time to myself, or more precisely, realising that I’ve spent most of the weekend or the evening watching nonsense on the telly just to keep my wife company on the sofa. Second, it’s not having the freedom to spend money on even just cheap PC upgrades, or to get a tablet computer, etc. Read the rest of this entry »
The Japanese have a reputation for not meeting eyes during normal conversation, but what happens when they catch the eye of someone of the opposite sex who they fancy? This was the subject of a ranking survey by goo Ranking, for both men meeting women’s eyes.
