This ranking survey from goo Ranking uses an internet slang that the person who writes the URLs for the surveys couldn’t translate! Usually the URLs are English summaries of the survey topic, but this time we got just non_leah_mitsuru, a poor transliteration of the term 非リア充. The term リア充 appears in my favourite dictionary, so by negating it as indicated by 非, the survey becomes a look at the features of people who do not have a sufficient real-world life.

Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been a while since goo Ranking has published back-to-back a paired survey, so I am pleased to present what people in relationships make effort to do in order to prevent their partner getting bored with them, for both men and women.

Talking about the last answer, it implies dropping one’s sprog at the city hospital versus this joint (here is their web site) that I couldn’t even afford if it were just an ordinary hotel!

Having never played Mario Kart in any incarnation, I cannot comment on this survey, so instead here’s some action from the game.
Over the 22nd and 23rd of July 2011 1,114 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.4% of the sample were female, 12.3% in their teens, 16.5% in their twenties, 28.6% in their thirties, 24.8% in their forties, 10.1% in their fifties, and 7.7% 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.
Here’s a couple of old folk giving it laldy on Dance Dance Revolution:
It seems that just about every other Japanese film coming out these days is based on a cartoon or comic, so it seems a good time to have a look with goo Ranking at how people rate the best live-action movie adaptations of manga and anime.

I’ve not seen any of the movies, and I’m not really sure how the list was created – Nodame Cantibile, for instance, seemed quite a popular real-life realisation of the comic, but it doesn’t feature in the list. On the other hand, I am not in the least suprised to see that My Darling is a Foriegner features nowhere on the list.
This coming weekend I have a preview ticket for Tsure ga Utsu ni Narimashite, which I would translate as When My Hubby Became Depressed, a film of the TV series of the manga comic. Let’s have the trailer for that:

I’m not sure why the question was about pockets, as the items below in a handbag would have a similar effect, I think.
I was going to get a photo to illustrate the first answer, but after seeing a few that Flickr had to offer, I decided to skip it… Read the rest of this entry »

There’s a bit of a gay boom that has continuted on Japanese television for at least five years, with the soft, non-threatening girly-man being the favourite type, although Japan’s answer to Divine, Matsuko Deluxe runs (wobbles?) a close second. Here’s a video of the current most popular character, Tanoshingo doing his stuff. Yes, this is prime-time television in Japan.
Over the 22nd and 23rd of July 2011 over 1,000 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. However, the link to the sample demographics does not work. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
About the only words you’ll find in a dictionary are hikikomori, which made it into the Oxford dictionary a couple of years ago, and the food ones. I’d like to know how Wikipedia decided on which words to list, as outside of the cooking ones most seem related to anime and manga, in particular the more seedy side of it.

I think this survey refers to when people visit fortune tellers themselves, or read books about their own star sign or whatever, rather than watching someone on television. Here’s a photo from flickr by Janne Moren of a palm reader in Osaka:
By the way, Japan does not have the typical US (and UK) big-time television cold readers fishing their audience for someone to whom the letter “T” is important. Instead we get hot readings with celebs getting their palms read and egos stroked by other celeb readers.
