    Here’s some more great stuff I found.

    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/japanese-classical-literature/id291493280

    A bunch of content for free, she speaks at a moderate speed, and it’s in iTunes, so you can put it on your mobile devices. (I’m pretty sure this works on non-Apple devices, too? Download it into iTunes then find the actual files in the iTunes folder)

    This is quickly becoming an archive of awesome listening material. I like it.

    Edit: Actually, only the first one is very long. The rest are fairly short, but all together, the series is about 45-55 minutes of content, and I figured I’d listen to it at least 10-15+ times eventually. Repetition is the mother of skill, after all.

    Continuing to spam this thread, I know. But you guys have to hear this song. It’s brand new and pretty much one of the best pieces of music I’ve ever heard in my life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFXfk_g3ll0

    I was listening to ヒデラジ, Hideo Kojima’s podcast, and I don’t know what they were talking about, but they kept saying 「まいだ、まいだ」jisho and google translate gave me nothing on this. If anyone has info, that’d be great. I have to look up all the words I clearly recognize, or I can’t reward myself each week. :P

    It’s like Naruto, but Christian mythology.

    Oh, wow, it *can* be downloaded to iTunes. Thanks a lot. I’ll probably switch over to Sweet Lounge, now. I can’t download Music Vox to iTunes, and I don’t wanna sit at my computer all day. (which is also the only problem with TV streams) Thanks for that, Revenant. I didn’t notice.

    Check out Music Vox sometime, though. It was like 4 people talking together, so there were a lot of good reactions, etc to learn. I heard them reply with 「ちょっと!!」 a lot… Looked it up, and didn’t make any sense that they’d reply with it so often. lol. Anyone know whatsup with that?

    Did some searching, and this page has Hideo Kojima’s podcast, and some type of comedy. Awesome.

    Though, they only list a few podcasts. I wonder why.

    I may be mistaken, but I don’t think you need to pay 125% attention for it to count. Whenever I hear a word I recognize (recognize, not understand) I just look it up on jisho, and that happens about once every 5 or 10 minutes. That seems pretty productive, to me.

    On a side note, any content that can actually be downloaded and put on mobile devices would be highly appreciated, or if anyone knows if there’s a way to download the content I posted. I’d love to have a couple hours on my iPod. :(

    Hey, you and Kaona are both 12, so you should be buddies! lol!

    I’m just teasing. Kaona throws bricks at me sometimes, and it is just delightful.

    I seriously wish I had this kind of resource when I was your age, though. I just turned 21 yesterday. So, just know that you are (both) ahead of the curve, (the “age curve” anyway…) and you’ll definitely do really great if you give any effort. Good luck. It’s good to have goals.

    And this, too.

    It should be Tofugu/Textfugu/Koichi’s theme song.

    Nice one Kaona. Love Nana Kitade. Eighteen is a great album, if you haven’t listened (I’m sure you have)

    Also, I’m 21 at midnight. (5 and a half hours in America)

    Terran? God, no. lol. I played Terran during Noob League and just banshee rushed over the rocks, but I play Protoss when I’m being a tryhard. Wall off my ramp with whatever I can and build colossi, since all Zerg players are just noobs who zergling rush. :P Hahaha.

    “Beginner”… Because MisterM didn’t say it.

    Indiana University Southeast, (yes, I’ve finally told you creepy people where I live. lol. I’m sure the fugu will be here soon to haunt me in my sleep) music composition major, taking as much Japanese as I can (stand). As for my minor, I’m kinda clueless on the whole college thing, so I don’t know what the hell that is. I just want to learn about stuff I like. Oh, yea, I’m also taking piano courses so I can learn how to really shred. ;)

    My main goal with my college major is to be like my heroes, either to be a big famous artist who brings the Japanese rock style to America and tours around with Gackt and GazettE, or create music for films or video games.

    The thing I’m most excited about for college; well, I dunno if it’s just my area, but college is about 80% women, here, most of them young and beautiful. This is what I’m looking forward to most, which may or may not be a bad sign.

    I turn 21 in 2 days. How old are you other college kids?
