Does anyone have a significant list of mnemonics for Japanese Vocab? I have seen a few here and there and have made many of my own but with the exception of the book below I can't find a significant source. I almost want to write my own book. Mnemonics should be used for everything! Why aren't people doing this?

Examples:

the first one I ever heard was
[kana]doitashimashite[/kana] = Don'ta toucha your moustache. (italian accent)

That book looks really interesting - have you read it before?

No I just saw it today. It's only ten bux and it has decent reviews so I will probably go ahead and grab it.

The linkword method is my favorite. Haven't tried this site, but it looks good:

This book has tons of mnemonic info in it:
