Love magic in Japan

Do you believe in love charms? graph of japanese statisticsPR Times printed a press release from Kanro, a sweets maker, who conducted a survey into love charms, as part of a promotion of a new product they have, ?Magical Pure?, a pureed gummy (Jelly Baby) type of thing, with a special promotional site featuring Perfume that quite badly killed my browser!

Demographics

Over the 25th and 26th of April 2013 242 young women aged between 20 and 39 completed an internet survey, but how they were selected is not described.

Being far too rational, I have zero belief in any of this nonsense, and not even when I was a teenager did I indulge, although admittedly it was probably because I wasn?t really interested in all that sort of thing while I was at school.

Anyway, enough about me, on with the survey!

Research results

To some extent 49.2%
Not at all 47.1%

Q2: Have you ever tried a love charm to bring a romance to fruition? (Sample size=242)

Q2SQ1: When have you tried a love charm? (Sample size=129, multiple answer)
