Does Sazae san influences the stock market?
I don’t think it is logic at all at the very beginning. After researching some information regarding to this, I believe this maybe sensible in some aspects. It is found that the Daiwa Institute of Research have published a report suggesting that there is a correlation between the rating of the TV anime Sazae san and the Japanese stock market in 2005. The report mentioned, when the stock values go up, the TV rating of Sazae san goes down and vice versa. And Daiwa’s also try to analysis this phenomenon by explaining the living pattern of the Japanese households, it stated if household don’t go out on Sunday, staying at home and watch Sazae san during dinner, which means the stock business is cooling down. The reason is not difficult to understand and is very clear. Japanese don’t have consumption power so they will tend to stay at home to have dinner instead of enjoying a meal outside. On the other hands, they will prefer to go out during Sunday night when they have money. Then of course the viewing rate of TV program must be lower and the stock market is increasing. If we understand the phenomenon in this sense, we can get a clear picture of why there is a correlation between Sazae san and Japanese stock market.
