Does anyone follow any interesting/fun twitter accounts that are in Japanese? Any recommendations? Seems like it would be fun for bite-sized sentences. Also I'm a bit curious about how the character limit impacts grammar and vocab.

Thanks for any suggestions!

The 140 character limit doesn't impose much difficulty in Japanese. You can almost write a full length novel in 140 characters compared to what you can write in English.

Anyway, I just follow a couple JPop artists, like SCANDAL and Nano.ripe.

Here is a list of some artists on twitter.

I'm sure there are more interesting things to follow.

This is a bump just to see if there are any other recommendations out there.

I don't know about "interesting", but some users I usually don't read past are Kojima Hideo, Kikuchi Yumi and Dave Spector.

Use the search box to search for stuff that interests you (in Japanese), and follow any people that write interesting stuff. I find normal people's twitters are much better than famous peoples...
