This is mainly concerning learners of Japanese who use iTunes and/or iPod, Winamp, etc, or otherwise have a playlist as one of their main sources of audio immersion.

What is the one audio clip in your "collection" of audio that 1. you feel you've gotten a lot out of, 2. never gets boring to listen to, 3. worth sharing with others?  (of course this may be more than one...)

The purpose of this thread is to share interesting audio with others and put more variety/new interesting material in our "immersion environments."  I thought I'd make this thread because the other day I realized that a series of audio clips I listen to were teaching and reviewing me a ton of words/vocab every time I listened and wanted to recommend it to others.  I thought maybe other people had stuff like that they wanted to share too smile

Share anything ranging from: clip of a drama CD, movie, radio show, to dubbed stuff from other countries, interviews, omake sections of CDs/DVDs, etc.  As long as it's something that's held your interest and stands out as something that has "taught you a lot" it may do the same for others. (but no music, this is a spoken audio thread).

The "series of audio clips" I was referring to above is 4 or 5 clips of seiyuu who talk about their pets, favorite food, part jobs they've had in the past, their favorite teachers, etc. 
Here's the one about food: http://www.mediafire.com/?zojmtxt4zum
Here's the teacher one: http://www.mediafire.com/?gmwmitmzwg2
(note: the seiyuu are the cast of the Loveless anime which involves characters who have animal ears, and perhaps for that very reason I couldn't get into it... but if you're a fan maybe it'll be all the more worthwhile.  And the seiyuu are pretty popular too)

Even I couldn't limit it to just "one" so if yours is a series of audio clips or perhaps a couple completely separate ones, feel free to share more than one.

Side note: if you share audio that came from video, either provide an explanation of what's going on, or if available, a link to the video the audio was taken from (...which won't require an upload at all smile ...try not to limit this to just youtube videos because they don't offer all -that- much of a scope.)

I ripped the audio of shows (to mp3 format) I've come to enjoy or where I find the content to be of good use. 33分探偵 is my favorite.

I also repeatedly play songs by Gackt, Gazzet, Ali project, and 久住小春 (笑).

Here are some links to some favorites stuff,

I ripped the audio from all of the Death Note episodes (using Quicktime pro) and looped that 24/7 (literally 24/7) for around 3 or 4 weeks when I was doing RtK. That was great because even though I wasn't actively sentence mining anything at the time, I would still pick up a lot of stuff. Going back and watching an episode after having heard the audio 10 or 12 times allowed me to get the gist of what was happening pretty easily, and it really gave me confidence in my progress.

After that got boring I looped the audio to IWGP and Tiger & Dragon which have also been excellent.

I've been listening to a drama CD called Are You Alice? I find it interesting myself. If anyone has any drama CD recs, I'd like to hear them...
