I know Christmas is already over but I have stumbled upon on this blog post regarding a survey on "what Japanese kids want to have as a Christmas present". This survey is made on children 12 years of age and conducted by TV Tokyo News.
Here are the results:
1. Video game software (over 450 kids said this)
2. Pretty Cure goods (over 100 kids said this)
3. Anpanman goods
4. Books (picture book, book, illustrated encyclopedia)
5. Kamen Rider goods
6. Bicycle
7. Toy car
8. Clothes
9. Stuffed animal
10. Video game console
It seems to me that most children in Japan already owned a game console so they only wished for video game software. Pretty cure is also one of the top choices. And I'm thinking if there's a good amount of males who answered that... LOL XD
Our beloved Kamen Rider merchandise is on the fifth spot while Super Sentai merchandises are no where to be seen... I wonder why?

sentai started early this year, so the more popular toys have been already out for some time. Kamen rider since started late came just in time for christmas.
Sentai is here for more than 33 years so I didn't agree that the time of showing is the reason...
that doen't have anything to do with what I said... Im saying that shinkenger started in january, the kids already own the weapons and the ropleplaying toys, and the robots, so they don't want them for christmas, obviously. start a new season a month before christmas and every kid will want that. novelty factor.
