Read-along Audiobooks Appstore - LittleRedRidingHood - 2012-11-09
Hi everyone, I managed to create a Japanese AppStore account today, and I'm looking for read-along books. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Oh and what's the best place to purchase Japanese iTunes cards online? Thank you :-)
Edit: I've just had a quick look online and the iTunes card seem to be going for almost double the RRP :-(

Audiobooks never seem to of really caught on in Japan. Maybe it's due to the prevalence of visual novels. That being said, I can't speak for the content on iTunes. I do know of the existence of febe.jp that is dedicated to such things but I've never been able to afford any of their offerings to really want to bother buying from them. (I wouldn't mind getting my hands on もしドラ one of these days. But now is not that day.) I also know some of Harry Potter is in audio form somewhere out there.

There are a few on iOS ad you dont need a japanese account to get them but they are hard to find.
"Rodoku Shojo - Story Time Girl -" is pretty amusing and there are many audio books you can buy in the app to read and listen to. you can even dress up the girl reading to you if thats your thing.
"萌える文学「柚木涼香の新ごんぎつね」" is another example. Im sure theres more out there tho.
