It's--well, I think it's interesting. The questions they ask in surveys--mostly not things that I'd think of asking myself, but nonetheless I realize I kind of wouldn't mind knowing. The segment of people who use the otohime (sound princess) at home--why? Is it for housemates, or the soothing nature of the sound?
Below are some samples of questions and the breakdown of stats. I like that the sample sizes are over a thousand; I recall my old professor saying that one needed at least a thousand samples to form a statistic. I just want to be clear that the following information isn't of my own finding. I'm just quoting what I saw at this link:
The website is whatjapanthinks.com
I haven't looked into it yet, so I can't speak to its sources of information, or its accuracy, but just in terms of what it ponders, I thought it worth mentioning. Will post more if I can find out something about its sources.
