Japanese TV Program SMAP x SMAP on FUJI TV (22:00-23:09 on July 11, 2016)

Blood type diet was the main story.
Also personality had been talking about a little bit.
Since Miranda and the host of the program, Nakai-kun (a member of famous male Japanese idol group SMAP) are both Type A, she said that both of them are a little more sensive.
But Nakata-kun didn't agree about himself (laugh).
Miranda Kerr who might have known that most of Japanese audience like blood-type talks, also said  "I'm not so proper."

A Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research of Japan -- 200,000 samples in 30 years

In 2011, Mr. Masahiro Nagashima (National Nagasaki Univ.) had performed a supplementary examination of Mr. Sakamoto's paper mentioned above.
The number of samples was 30,000 people in 11 years in Mr. Sakamoto's papers, to my surprise, as many as 200,000 people in 30 years are investigated by Mr. Nagashima's Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research in 2011.  However, the number of samples and years and were not specified in this report for some reason, so that  I have to suppose these numbers.  The followings are excerpts:

血液型と性格に関する解析では、過去の研究結果を拡張することができたとともに、21世紀以降のデータでは、安定して血液型ごとに性格の自己申告について有意な差が出ることが判明した。
We also demonstrate that significant difference on personal characteristics between blood-types by using the database on recent huge questionnaires survey.
