From 22 June to 31 July 2012, we invited J-MELO viewers to take part in an online survey* about themselves, the show, and Japanese music. We got valid responses from 1,095 viewers in 88 countries and territories. We hope you find the results interesting.

*We announced the survey in our international broadcasts on 25 June, in our domestic broadcast on 31 June, and on the J-MELO website.
