Wow, this site totally pwns YouTube O_O
Just introducing to anyone who didn't know
http://www.nicovideo.jp
It's like Youtube, that's a lot fancier. Comments come across the screen when watching your videos which are an awesome source for sentences and getting used to Japanese eCulture. Rad gaming, anime, dorama footage all in Japanese
If you find it too difficult/boring to translate/understand the sign up page, here is a good translation:

It's a decent site for Japanese stuff but has its fair share of problems. Good thing that the comments can be disabled in the video, some videos are just sick... several thousand comments on just a minute of video etc ^^
Great resources of stupid 2ch memes... For example, search for ゲッダン and you'll find a thousand videos of various characters dancing in an insane way to an old japanese song.

Audio quality seems a bit lacking.
Love the full Japanese environment, though.

It's so nice the things I get to play with now
. I was told about that site last year when I was living in Japan but couldn't register because I was intimidated by the kanji. It is wonderful to learn about the Japanese versions of the English sites I use everyday. Everything the Japanese do with entertainment seems to be much more interesting (except movies).
