Hmm you did but I liked astrangerhere's presentation... he just sold it better, made me believe it

@nest0r, see, this is what happens to first generation links - early adopters always get left by the wayside... I mean, er, thanks to you too nest0r.

@ nest0r - would now be the time to mention I'm a corporate attorney and apt to steal everything from everyone I possibly can?

At any rate, sorry for stealing your psuedo thunder... to make up for it, how about a few more links that I dont think have been posted here?

Oh well okay then. I am mollified.

I stumbled upon this file with 6 short stories in Japanese, sounds like it was recorded by professional actors. I'm sure the texts can be found on the internet somewhere.

It's probably best not to post direct links to copyrighted materials like that. That's Read Real Japanese, something we've discussed often on the forum.

If you can understand my cryptic hints and links, see also my thread here: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?tid=5048 (relevant to this comment is the most recent page or so of that thread)

This is such a great thread! Unfortunately, I'm trying to learn Mandarin Chinese right now. I feel bad for intruding on this Japanese-only resources thread, but can anyone direct me to some good Chinese audiobook resources?

Thanks.

Just a shout out to sheetz who made many updates recently to the Audiobooks page on our Wiki and to Pauline who first converted everything to the Wiki page!

There are some alternative readings of the Kenji Miyazawa stories here:

I think her voice is one of the nicest I've ever heard.

Also some more audio + transcripts:

Audio for various stories at moon-reading: http://moon-reading.seesaa.net/

not necessarily audio-books but translated stuff nonetheless: http://www.bauddha.net/sanseido.html

OOOH! The translation of Crito has quite a lot of conversational Japanese going on...

Its guys like you that keep this forum alive with awesome content, thanks again

I found a list of Japanese resources, there are some audiobooks there, too.

I'm glad it seems people are actually using those links I provided. I recently came across this page http://mastarpj.nict.go.jp/~mutiyama/ali...-pages.htm which has a long list of parallel bilingual texts, some of which have audio available from the above list, but what's great is that the same texts are available in interlaced format here, which really makes it perfect for following along as you listen to the audio.

Try it out with this Miyazawa Kenji story and tell me what you guys think:

audio: http://fantajikan.tea-nifty.com/blog/200..._76ca.html
bilingual text: http://mastarpj.nict.go.jp/~mutiyama/ali...ildcat.alm

I've found using bilingual interlaced texts so much more useful than the usual side by side format that I intend to create them for other audiobooks. Anyone up for a group project? I don't mind doing them myself but it'll take forever for just one person. Especially if you want to do something like Harry Potter.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't view this text on this site. the same thing happens with sites like dramanote.

Might be better to set auto-detect as Universal or East Asian (View→Character Encoding→Auto-Detect→Universal/East Asian).

This collection is a real treasure. Right now listening to Miyazawa Kenji. Great quality too!
