As a relatively recent Berryz fan I can vividly remember how difficult it was to tell them apart at first. Especially in older videos / material. To help my kids out I'm trying to put together a "Berryz Field Guide".

About Me
Fan of much that is Japanese...
I discovered the joy of Japanese culture (Anime/Manga/JPop/etc.) relatively recently. I delight in every new discovery I make and I'm eager to share my enthusiasm. I'm slowly trying to learn Japanese, hopefully this year I can really make real progress!
On music, I like (so far- not in order):
Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Do As Infinity, Stereopony, Gackt (unplugged particularly), Hitomi, AKB48, Buono!, Berryz Kobo (still conflicted on the Kobo/Koubou bit- they always seem to use "Kobo" themselves...)
Anime/Manga:
Maison Ikkoku, Negima!, Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, xxxHolic, Tsubasa, Magic Knight Rayearth, Chobits, Ranma 1/2, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and numerous others...
Anything from Studio Ghibli is fantastic!

Learning Japanese > Visually Sorted Kanji
Posted 21 February 2011
In my last blog post I talked about trying to get some sort of similarity continuum for the "whole" Kanji (solid Kanji, or darn close to solid Kanji). Think I'm pretty close to a visually sorted set now:

Learning Japanese > Hey- haven't I seen that before?

So, I'm trying to work my way through learning Kanji. I've got a few resources- they're very useful, but... I keep getting frustrated by the order things are introduced. I understand why they're grouped the way they are- but it is causing me issues as similar looking Kanji keep popping up. In an effort to provide some visual continuity...
Learning Japanese > Kanji Font Craziness
Posted 15 February 2011
Getting a handle on what fonts are available and what the differences are wasn't easy. As I'm using Windows 7 I'll go over what is available on Windows. The fonts that come with Windows also come with Mac Office for those that do Mac.

I've always taught myself. Classes usually don't work well with me- either too slow or too focused on simple fact memorization.
My usual learning method:

My usual learning method:
- skim read once, deep read the second time
- get several books on the same subject and read them all
- some combination of the above
