Are Japanese .コム IDNs catching on? Is there a demand, or will they continue to gather dust with no interested buyers?

The raw numbers of registrations give a somewhat average impression of コム. Here are some namestat numbers https://namestat.org/s/top-idns & https://namestat.org/xn--tckwe

But... If one searches on コム https://www.google.com/search?q=site:.コム there are a good number of コム domains and many of these are well developed quality sites. This gives me a good positive impression

eg

Premium Dog Food http://プレミアムドッグフード.コム I especially like this site because the pathname part of itʼs urls are written in Japanese.

http://プレミアムドッグフード.コム/カテゴリー/ドッグフードの選び方
http://プレミアムドッグフード.コム/カナガンドッグフード
http://プレミアムドッグフード.コム/アランズナチュラルドッグフード

Quality and Quantity are both important properties in assessing コム. What weighting one would give to each of these properties I do not know.

Good info Andre. I just have 3, I think. The favorite of which is コスメ.コム. This is Cosme or cosmetics. The other one I like is 英語.コム, which is English. Given the lack of inquiries, I now think I overpaid at launch. I have little hope for them but will hang onto them as I really like those two keywords.

Am I reading this correctly? Only 3209 domains total? If so, it is DOA.

My pleasure. Thank you :)

About an hour ago I also popped the info into a short article on my blog http://schappo.blogspot.com/2021/09/japanese-dog-food-domain-name.html
