I'll probably just bring my iPod and not download any of the Japanese rock that I want to listen to and just wait until I'm in Japan to buy CDs.

Okay, thanks everyone. I was just making sure that's not what most people were doing. After all, I only saw one person recommend it. I'll just keep everything active in my Heisig deck and do my review...

Alright, thanks for the quick response. I'll probably use Tae Kim's guide as my primary resource and use UBJG as a supplement to that.
