This survey will perhaps go some way to solving one of the greatest mysteries to foreign visitors to these climes, namely do all Japanese do the peace sign when getting their photo taken. This is the subject that iShare addressed.
Demographics
Between the 28th of August and the 2nd of September 2009 521 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.6% of the sample were male, 34.0% in their twenties, 31.9% in their thirties, and 34.2% in their forties.
