Team J-MELO enjoys lots of feedback from viewers. As of 13 April 2015, we had received messages and other input from viewers in 151 countries and territories.

From 21 July to 20 August 2014, we invited viewers to take part in an online survey about themselves, the show, and Japanese music. (We announced the survey in our international and domestic broadcasts and on the J-MELO website.) We got valid responses from 1,708 people in 87 countries and territories. We hope you find the results interesting.
