I want to see what the DNers think about value of Japanese premium domains...

セール.com - SALE

It's Japanese for Sale.com Pronounciation is also Sale.
This term means sale as in price discounted. (Sale could also mean "on sale", "selling now", etc.). Immediately people see it & know a sale is going on... (just need to clarify this)
Do note that it looks like a hyphen but it's actually a Japanese character & part of the word. Without it, it wouldn't be the same term...

Stats by Just overture is a little deceptive because the term peaks at different times during the year
You can see it on Google Trends (Not every Japanese term shows up on Google trends by the way)

OVTjp searches is about
6801 セール
25,000,000 pages indexed with the term on Google.co.jp
21,000,0000 pages indexed with the term on Yahoo.co.jp

As far as OVT bids
It's too broad a term for most companies with ppc
They are only about 50yen average (around 45cents US)
