3.0 out of 5 stars A great idea but needs refinement, June 20, 1999

By	chris.huffman@gte.net (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

Sing Japanese is a tape and small book that allows the reader/learner to sing popular Japanese pop songs inorder to learn new vocabulary, practice listening skills and a few grammer points. This is a great and new concept for learning any foreign language. One drawback would be with the tape itself. The cassete tape has been recorded (or mixed) poorly making it very hard to hear the singers voice above the music; the very reason for having the tape. In addition, the music was recorded by cover bands - it would have been nice to hear the original artist and the original recording; maybe the quality would have been improved. I would be interested in having a Sing Japanese II with additional songs.

4.0 out of 5 stars The most enjoyable Japanese language book I've ever bought!, September 9, 2001

By	Joseph Park (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This textbook not only helped me with my Japanese but it's barrels of fun. I learned some great songs, thanks to this book, and being able to amaze others with my ability to sing in Japanese is worth the price of admission. I also learned some rare, seldomly used Japanese grammar that you won't find in conventional language textbooks but stuff that you'll be quizzed on if you take the level one Japanese language proficiency test (JLPT).

I thought that the lessons were well planned out, but the reason why I didn't give this book five stars is because (1) I found minor typos here and there in the book, and (2) the quality of the enclosed tape is, well, "acceptable."

Nevertheless, I wish that this neat-o method of language teaching was more common. It's too bad that there isn't going to be a sequel to this book because "Sing Japanese" was such a cool idea!
