What do you think about the popular animal ranking of LINE?

Actually, this result is a characteristic tendency of the Japanese. In other countries, it seems that the stamp of the human motif is the most popular.

It's often said that relatively speaking, the Japanese have a peculiarity in that they transfer their emotions to non-human things.

It is probably because of their strong feelings in wanting to become the kind of person who can gently convey straightforward things or calm their partner down, and they do it by using cute animals.

Due to such reasons, I think the plenty of animal motif goods are planned in Japan. When you would like to convey the feeling of gratitude as the Japanese style, why do not you give any presents such as animal motif ones and try to relax?
