This paper describes the principles used to collect open English and Japanese Twitter corpora for emotion analysis.We have created a set of eight emotions, based on Ekman and Plutchik categories, applicable both to the English-speaking and Japanese cultures, ensuring that each tweet in our subset of TREC'2011 collection is coded independently by three individuals.We analyse emotions contained in the resulting corpora and briefly discuss the obtained results.This work will provide valuable insights for researchers interested in emotion analysis of micro-blogosphere and comparative studies of English and Japanese tweets.
