Method. Each category total is the sum of its seed keywords' SEMrush Keyword Magic Tool broad match volume in the Japan database (Savings & Banking: 定期預金 + 貯金 + ネット銀行 + 銀行口座 + 家計簿 · Insurance: 保険 · Investment: NISA + 投資). Category totals are on the same basis as the April board chart, so the two are directly comparable. The twelve monthly points are a volume weighted blend of the individual SEMrush trend index of every keyword sampled in that category (7,940 keywords in total: Savings & Banking 4,983, Insurance 1,000, Investment 1,957), rescaled so the twelve month mean equals the category total. Volumes are SEMrush estimates, not measured search counts.
