I came across an interesting picture showing a comparison of searches in Japanese on Google for “husband” and “wife”. It looks like the women who I assume are searching for “husband” related topics are experiencing some dark times, while the husbands searching for “wife” related topics are still up beat about things.

Here are some rough translations of what’s hot.

Searching under “husband”

husband, I want him to die

husband, I hate him

husband, allowance, average

husband, verbal violence

husband, allowance

husband, how to call (his name)

husband, dead, procedures

husband, depression

husband, out of work

husband, dead, pension

Doesn’t sound like the wives are that keen on having the husbands around. Either they are searching for ways to have them dead or looking over procedures for what to do after they have died. Life is tough!

Searching under “wife”

wife, birthday present

wife, birthday present ranking

wife, present

wife, hysteria

wife, how to call (her name)

wife, depression

wife, present ranking

wife, documents not received

wife, shochu (sake)

Both lists have the word うつ meaning depressed or depression in them. Looks like a growing trend in Japanese society at the moment.

The English equivalents I got on my own computer were a little more bright.
