This paper clarifies that the main factors of Kansei, which are the fundamental factors of human sensitivity, work well for accessing different kinds of media data having similar impression. First, the possibility of the existence of the common Kansei factors for pictures, sound clips, and video clips is shown. Five factors are experimentally obtained for pictures and video clips. These factors are considered to be corresponding to one another. Four factors are obtained for sound clips. These are considered to be included in those for pictures and video clips. By using these common Kansei factors, it is considered to be possible to adapt a kind of media data to another kind of media data based on impression. The prototype system based on this fact is constructed. This system compares the factor score of the key media data with those of other kinds of media data. For pictures and video clips, the comparison of factor scores is straitforward. For sound clips and the other types of media data, the factor scores of th e potency for sound clips are compared with those of the activity and of the potency for the other types of media data. This system is evaluated through the evaluation technique of the information retrieval. The evaluation results show that the prototype system can retrieve a kind of media data suitable to another kind of media data.
