For anyone looking for some hardcore study resources…
There is a website called Tanaka News.
It contains thoughts on society written by Mr. Sakai Tanaka, who among other things used to work for Microsoft. Since then he has become a freelance journalist and also publishes articles on this site.
He also makes audio files of his content available on the web.
So, if you’re looking for some academic discussion in Japanese that you can read, and listen to, this might be a good place to start.
The audio files are done by a female, and are pronounced extremely clearly. Quality material! I wonder who he gets to dictate his stuff…
Check it out!
- Harvey
ps. Also his articles are available in Korean and Chinese… Not sure who does his translation, but cool!
