Movie Downloading & Streaming Usage in Japan

hoinukeoux_204_500_320

From a group of 14,034 members, a survey was given to members of  MyVoice internet community on their activity when it comes to movie streaming usage. The results were published. Apparently, Yahoo! Video streaming topped the chart in terms of usage. I was thinking of Nico Nico Douga or at least Youtube but apparently, this was not so.

Wanna make a guess which genre of content topped the chart ?

A breakdown of the survey…I won’t be listing every question in the survey but rather the main elements that I was interested to know. Click on the source above for the full survey break down (in Japanese)
