Does anyone know of any lists to memorize in Japanese? I want to practice some mnemonic techniques.　So far I have done these lists:

太陽
水星
金星
地球
火星
木星
土星
天王星
海王星
冥王星

飛鳥時代
奈良時代
平安時代
鎌倉時代
南北朝時代
室町時代
戦国時代
安土桃山時代
江戸時代
明治
大正
昭和
平成

I have also already memorized prefectures and their capital cities, although not through mnemonics.

Lists of WHAT exactly? Anything?
Here's a few: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ja...ated_lists

How about this?
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:1...asic_words

They're all very basic though.

I was looking for lists that don't change, so lists of schools or lists of anime don't really work. Like some sort of history or science list.

Thanks but I already know 99% of those. I'm looking for a list of something, perhaps where order is important. Although that could be interesting, memorizing foods or fish or something.

A good Japanese vocab-list book is 日本語単語スピードマスター.
