This book is a textbook to practice Japanese by moving your mouth and speaking aloud.
You can start using this book from around the time you enter the latter stages of beginning-
level Japanese.
At the beginning level you are busy studying character, grammar and vocabulary, so you
have little opportunity to speak long Japanese sentences. This is why it often happens that
some people who have finished studying beginner Japanese cannot speak clearly even though
they remember the vocabulary and grammar.
Learning a language is similar to practicing a sport. No matter what sport it is, you will not
get good at it just by watching it. You become proficient by actually moving your body and
practicing. Likewise, when studying Japanese, no matter how much you read Japanese
sentences up in your head, if you do not actually move your mouth along with the Japanese
pronunciation to exercise your mouth, you cannot speak well when you speak aloud. Ondoku,
which means "reading aloud," is a practice method that is suited to this exercise for the mouth.
Reading aloud is a mouth exercise for building awareness of sounds rather than meaning.
There are even veteran interpreters who, before performing an interpreting assignment, will
read aloud in advance to get the mouth warmed up. There are many ideas about the effects of
reading aloud, but in addition to exercising the mouth, it is thought to also lead to general
improvements in linguistic skills such as pronunciation, listening comprehension, vocabulary and
conversation.
Based on the above, we have made this book as a learning material for reading aloud. The
transcripts in Units 1-30 have all been written for the sake of reading aloud, and their difficulty
and length have been designed appropriately so you can concentrate on practicing (each unit
taking 1 to 2 minutes or so.) In addition, the audio in Units 1-30 are recorded with three
versions: two speeds ("Basic" and "Slow") and then audio for listening and repeating ("Line-by-
line"). This way the audio accommodates learners of various levels.
We hope that through speaking training using this book, there will be more learners who
will be able to speak in Japanese with confidence.

Use this book like you're practicing songs at a karaoke studio. When you learn
a song, first you listen to it over and over again. Then you speak and sing the lyrics
along with the melody and rhythm. Just because you know the lyrics doesn't mean
you're good at singing the song.
Reading and speaking sentences is the same thing. Just because you can read
something doesn't mean you're good at reading. Listen closely to the CD and use
your ears to try and memorize the rhythm of the Japanese, the intonation and the
length of the syllables. Think of the CD as karaoke and practice reading and speaking.
If you keep having fun practicing like you're singing karaoke, then you'll surely get
good at Japanese!

There are 30 units in total, which are divided into two types: transcripts of a person talking to
people, and essays about topics like Japanese culture. Each text type is split into two parts, with
earlier parts containing units with easier content (vocabulary, etc). You can look at the table of
contents (pages 4-6) and start with a page that interests you.

Basic: This audio is at a natural speed for a Japanese speaker. This speed is how one would speak
to make the message clear for the listener and to speak in a polite, somewhat slow manner.
Slow: This is a mechanically slowed down version of the Basic audio in case you have difficulty
practicing at the Basic speed. After practicing with Slow, try to go back to Basic.
*The audio quality may suffer at times because it was mechanically processed. Do not
misunderstand that the CD is defective.
Line-by-Line: This audio is divided into natural intervals to make it easy for you to listen and
repeat the Basic audio by adding pauses during which you can speak aloud. Imagine you are in a
class and the teacher is reading out each line for you to repeat. The benefit of this audio is that it
makes practicing easy.

All of the Line-by-Line audio for one unit is in one track on the CD, but the audio on the website is divided into separate
tracks for each line. This is convenient for when you want to choose one line and practice it repeatedly.

Each unit has practice for Steps 1-5. If you practice these steps by treating the first five as a single
set, you will be able to comfortably read aloud and practice shadowing. Listen closely to the audio
and make sure to speak aloud as you practice.

In Step 1, make a quick check of the "Words Phrases." Then listen to the Basic audio and&
consider what it is about. Don't \Jvon-y too much if then:; are vvords you don't understand. Try to
understand the ov2rali meaning. If the audio is too fast, listen to the Slow version.

In Step 2, listen to the audio one more time as you look at the transcript to check the content.
This is not for studying grammar or reading comprehension, so you do not need to check every
sing!e vvord.

In Step 3, as you look at the sentences that have been separated for easier practice, listen to
the Line-by-Line audio and practice reading along after it. Read a[! the way to the ,lash ( ! ) in o:1e
The audio has pauses between lines, so try to finish reading the !i.ne during 'lhe pause.
Listen to the audio over and over and try to read out in the same vv'ays as you a!so pay
att2ntion to intonat•on and syllable When you get good at a line, try saying it without
looking at the book.

In Step 4, practice reading through the entire transcript. Try to practice reading along with the
audio as you look at the transcript. Try to speak at the same speed and pause at the same times.
After a few times of practicing the places that you could not read well, try to read through the
entire transcript again. If the Basic audio is too fast and difficult for you, first practice using the
Slow audio and then go back to Basic once you become accustomed to it.

In Step 5-without looking at the transcript-practice repeating the audio soon after you hear it.
You do not have to memorize it. Even if there is audio you cannot keep up with, don't stop. Try to
just say the parts that you can. If the Basic audio is too fast and difficult for you, first practice using
the Slow audio and then go back to Basic once you become accustomed to it.

Kamono Chomei was an essayist and poet in the 12th and 13th centuries. In "The Ten Foot Square Hut" he
wrote about disasters that occurred in Kyoto during that time and also about his personal life and ideas.
The theme of the work is "mujokan" (a perception of the evanescence of life, which is the Buddhist idea
that "nothing stays unchanged"). The book is said to be one of the three great essays of Japan.

"The Tale of the Heike" is a story written in or around the 13th century. The author's identity is unknown.
This story tells of the glory and downfall of a warrior clan called the Heike. This opening passage from "The
Tale of the Heike" printed here explains the theme of the story, which is "mujokan" (a perception of the
evanescence of life, which is the Buddhist idea that "nothing stays unchanged"), and it is a very famous
passage. Some people even learn it by heart because it has a nice rhythm.

Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) was a poet and fairy tale writer who was born
in Iwate Prefecture. Kenji learned about farming and worked to improve the
local area's farming as an instructor at an agricultural school. It is said that "Be Not Defeated by the Rain"
expresses Kenji's ideal way of living.

The original was written in katakana, but here it has been changed to hiragana to make it easier to read. In addition, the kanji
have been changed to those that are in use today.

Soseki Natsume (1867-1916) was a novelist during the Meiji Era. He had studied abroad in England, a rare
thing at the time, and was also a researcher of English literature and a teacher of the English language.
"Botchan" is a novel written based on the experiences Soseki had as a teacher in Matsuyama (now the
city of Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture) in Shikoku. In this story, the main character, who is young and
has a straightforward personality, becomes a teacher at a rural high school and causes various incidents
with the other teachers and the students.

To make the text easier to read, some of the expressions and words have been altered by referencing a textbook for high school
students.

Nice to meet you. I'll be working under you starting today. My name is Yuma Hashimoto.
I guess at first I won't know anything and I'll often inconvenience you, but I want to do my
best so I can be useful to the company as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to working
under you.

Everyone, you have been kind to me this past year.
At first I could not get used to life in Japan and I inconvenienced you at times, but thanks to
all of you I was able to spend a fulfilling time here.
Even after I return to my country I want to do my best to utilize what I learned here. If you
have the chance, please by all means come visit.
I look forward to being able to meet all of you again. Thank you so very much.

My name is Mika Kimura. I am a fourth-year student at the Saikyo University Economics
Department.
I put a lot of effort into volunteer activities overseas during my time in university. With the
money I saved from my part-time job I have participated in overseas volunteer work three
times. As a volunteer I played with children and helped teach Japanese. At times I had
difficulties because I couldn't communicate, but I learned that if you feel a desire to
communicate, then you can communicate with anyone.
After I join a company, too, I want to try new things as I communicate well with the people
around me.

Today we are going to make baked doughnuts. A baked doughnut is not fried in oil. It is
oven-baked. It has fewer calories than a fried doughnut, so it's very healthy.
They're easy to make. First, thoroughly mix 40 grams of butter and 40 grams of sugar. Next,
add 150 grams of flour, half a teaspoon (5 cc) of baking powder and 80 cc of milk, then mix
them gently. If you mix too much the doughnuts will become hard, so be careful. Last, put the
mixture in the doughnut pan and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
This will make fluffy baked doughnuts.

The first Olympics in Japan-and also the first in Asia-were held in Tokyo in October 1964.
New hotels and facilities were built in Tokyo one after another and highways, the airport and
more were upgraded in order to welcome the many athletes and spectators from around the
world. The now world-famous Shinkansen was also first built at this time.
And Tokyo was selected to host the Olympics and Paralympics again in 2020. How will the
streets of Tokyo change due to the second Olympics?

Shichi Go San is an event to celebrate children's growth. Typically, it is celebrated when a boy
turns 3 or 5 and when a girl turns 3 or 7. Shichi Go San is on November 15, but recently many
people seem to celebrate on the weekend before or after.
In a traditional Shichi Go San celebration, the child wears a kimono and the family goes to
visit a shrine or temple. Then the family takes a commemorative photo and has a meal. In
addition, children get a long, thin candy called "Chitose Ame." Chitose Ame is imbued with the
parents' desire for their children to live long like this candy.

Many of Japan's elementary and junior high schools have school lunches. Children can have a
well-balanced meal thanks to school lunches. However, that is not the only role of school
lunches. Through school lunches, children sense the importance of and feel grateful for food
and learn the joy of eating together.
In addition, lately some school lunches even add local specialties. For example, a school in
Osaka adds takoyaki to its menu, which makes the children happy. Other than that, there are
171
apparently schools that serve, for example, salmon roe in Hokkaido, cherries in Yamagata and
Sara udon in Nagasaki for school lunch. Another role of school lunches is to tell children about
their hometown's culinary culture.

. .. p. 76
There are many "pun" days in Japan. A pun is a word whose reading fits another word with
a similar reading. For example, August 7th is Hana no Hi ("Nose Day"). This pun comes from
reading the 8 for August as "ha" and the 7 for the date as "na." Events on Hana no Hi include
seminars by ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians.
In addition, there are also days that come from animal calls. February 22nd is Neko no Hi ("Cat
Day") and November 1st is lnu no Hi ("Dog Day"). The 2s in Neko no Hi are read as "nyan," so
the pun is that 2/22 is "nyan nyan nyan." The 1s in lnu no Hi are read as "wan" (the Japanese
pronunciation of the English word "one"), so the pun is that 11/1 is "wan wan wan."

of "Sushi" ... p. 80
When they hear "sushi," many people probably think of nigirizushi. However, nigirizushi is
rarely made in a Japanese household. Normally, people go to a shop to eat it there or take it
home to eat. Making delicious nigirizushi looks easy, but in fact it is difficult. Types of sushi
made at home include inarizushi (fried tofu filled with sushi rice), norimaki (a roll of rice and
other ingredients wrapped in nori) and chirashizushi (a bowl of rice and sushi ingredients).
In addition, temakizushi (hand-rolled sushi) is recommended when there are many people.
For temakizushi you place rice on seaweed, place the ingredients of your choice on top of that,
then roll it up and eat it. Ingredients include sashimi, vegetables, grilled eggs, etc. It's fun to be
able to make what you want yourself, plus it's easy to prepare, so it's great for a party.

Unit 115 Research Presentation - Presentations - ··.:P· 86


Well, I shall begin my presentation. I'm Yokoyama, a junior in the Social Sciences Department.
Thank you for having me here today. Everyone, do you have the materials?
The subject of my presentation is "University Students' Job-Hunting." For this study I
conducted a questionnaire of 300 university seniors. Please see page 2 for details.
The questionnaire first asked, "When did you begin preparing to look for a job?" The results
are in the graph here in Figure 1. Most, 27%, responded with "the summer of my junior year."
The next largest share, 24%, came from those who answered "spring of my junior year,"
followed by 17% who said "fall of my junior year." What I would like to draw attention to is
the 10% who began to prepare before their junior year.

Unit 16 Research Presentation ... p. 90


Next I questioned people who had found a job. The results of the question "Do you want to
work at the same company forever?" are in the graph here in Figure 13. Over half the people
answered "Yes," around 30% of the people answered "No" and 15% of the people answered "I
don't know."
Compared to last year's results there is a slight difference. This year the share who answered
"No" was 7% higher than last year. The way people think about changing jobs might be
changing little by little.
Are there any questions so far?

... p. 94
Moderator: Next is the "Job Interview" segment. Today's guest is a junior high school teacher,
Yasuhiro Suzuki. Thank you for coming today.
Suzuki: I'm Suzuki. Thank you for having me.
Moderator: I'd like to get straight to asking you in detail about your job, Mr. Suzuki.
Suzuki: Okay.
I am a science teacher at a junior high school. Recently many students are bad at science, but
I add experiments and observations to try and make the class as fun as possible. The preparation
is tough, but I'm pleased when the students say "I got it" or "It's interesting."

Other than classes, career guidance and lifestyle guidance are also important work. I always
talk to students and try to pay attention to whether they have any problems. I am also an
instructor for the soccer club, so I have practice and games on weekends.
I have a lot of tough things to do, but it's a job I'm motivated to do.

Unit 18 lntroducin.g_a B_o_ok -_ - _ _ .. _ ~-~e-_ ~8


Teacher: Well then, let's have an introduction of a recommended book. Today is Ms.
Moriyama. Please go ahead.
Moriyama: Okay. Well, I'll begin my presentation.
The book I recommend is a fairy tale called "Gon, the Little Fox."
The main character of this story is a little fox named Gon. One day Gon, who loved to cause
mischief, steals all the fish a villager named Hyoju had caught. However, later Gon finds out that
Hyoju's mother died and regrets his troublemaking, thinking, "Was that the fish he was going
to feed his mother?" Then, Gon tries to somehow console the now lonely Hyoju, but it doesn't
go very well. On the contrary, he makes Hyoju angry.
When I read that scene, I always feel sorrowful. It's a well-known story, so I think a lot of
people read it when they were kids, but I think it's a work that still speaks to the heart. I hope
you will try reading it.

I will now explain Babanuki ("Old Maid" in English).


The "Baba" is a playing card: the joker. In this game you use only one joker.
First, put the joker (the Baba) in the deck and shuffle all the cards well. Then, deal all the
cards to the players. If you have a pair of cards among those dealt to you, discard them. After
organizing your cards, begin the game.
First, the first player will take one card from the player next to him or her. If you get a pair of
cards discard it. If you don't, do nothing. Take turns in order repeating this step. If you get rid of
all your cards, you win. Keep playing the game until all players get rid of all their cards. The
player to hold the Baba last is the loser.
The fun part of this game is to use facial expressions and other tricks to try and keep the
Baba away from you.

Unit 20 Venus _ __ . __ ___ _ _ ... p. 108


Including the Earth, in all there are 8 planets in the Solar System. In order of closest to
farthest from the Sun, their names are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune. At the right time of year you can see the planets other than Uranus and Neptune
without a telescope. Of those, the one that appears the brightest is Venus.
Venus is a planet that orbits the Sun closer than Earth, so when seen from Earth it is always
in the direction of the Sun. Therefore, you cannot see Venus in the middle of the night, when
you can't see the Sun at all. You can see Venus in the eastern sky at dawn or the western sky in
the evening.

The Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido is the northernmost zoo in Japan. Getting there is a hassle,
but it is very popular. However, in the 1990s fewer visitors came, and the zoo began to
experience financial difficulties.
Then, the zoo tried various ways to get many more people to come. For example, they
allowed visitors to see the sight of penguins marching over the snow and the animals'
appearance at night. It showed the sight of the animals moving energetically in an almost
natural environment.
These sorts of efforts generated buzz and more dedicated fans went to the Asahiyama Zoo,
and now it is one of the most hugely popular zoos nationwide.

Caw caw! Tweet tweet! Cock-a-doodle-doo! There are various bird calls, and some birds, like

173
the parakeet, imitate the words of people. Why do parakeets imitate the words of people?
Compared to other birds a parakeet has a large tongue, and its throat has a shape that
makes it easy to emit various voices and sounds. Thus, unlike other birds, it can emit complex
sounds like the words of people.
In addition, because parakeets seek out their partners from among many of their kind, they
have a habit of perfectly imitating the calls of their partners. Therefore, it is said that a parakeet
thinks of close people such as its owner as its partner and may imitate those people's words .

... p. 120
Every culture has folk tales. Folk tales are said to be based on things like the wisdom of
people from long ago or on events that occurred in the distant past.
The mysterious thing about folk tales is that there are similar stories in far removed places.
For example, the Hagoromo Densetsu {"The Legend of the Robe of Feathers") is known widely
in many regions in Asia. The story is of a woman who came from up in the sky and loses her
Hagoromo, a piece of clothing that allows her to fly in the sky, and she cannot return. That
woman marries a human man, but in the end she returns to her original world. Apparently
there are similar stories to this one throughout the world.
Perhaps the stories humans think up are all similar. Or perhaps a long time ago there really
was a woman who came from the sky.

Osamu Tezuka is a manga artist known by every Japanese person. His masterpiece "Astro
Boy" was made into a cartoon and is famous around the world.
Osamu Tezuka is said to have changed the history of Japanese manga-so much that some
people call him the "God of Manga." Manga until then were all simple stories, but Osamu
Tezuka released one manga after another that have stories just like movies or novels. His lively,
charming characters also garnered popularity. There are countless manga artists who have been
influenced by Osamu Tezuka. One person among them is Fujiko F. Fujio, who drew
"Doraemon."
Osamu Tezuka was also famous for his numerous works. He published over 700 manga.
Apparently he even drew manga in the hospital until right before he passed away.

Year by year the number of elderly people in Japan is increasing. Because of this, many
services for the elderly have also appeared. One of them is the bento (portable boxed meal)
home delivery service. This is a service that sends bento to homes.
The bento are made to suit the tastes of the elderly and there are also many types. They all
have a good nutritional balance and contain little oil or salt content. In addition, there are also
specially thought out menus so that those with dietary restrictions due to illness can eat
without worry.
In addition to the elderly, this service is also drawing the attention of families that live far
away from the elderly customers. That is because bento delivery people can check directly on
things like whether the customers are feeling well or whether they have had any problems
recently.

November 15th is the birthday of a historical figure. It is also the date of his death. That
person is Sakamoto Ryoma.
Sakamoto Ryoma was a warrior born in what is now Kochi Prefecture near the end of the
Edo Period. J>,pparently he had a bright and bold personality and liked new things. He succeeded
in creating a new era, but he was killed right before the beginning of the Meiji Era. The identity
of the culprit is not known.
Ryoma's dramatic life and appealing character are still popular now, and he always tops the
rankings of people's "favorite historical figures." There are many novels, manga, movies, TV
dramas and more that Ryoma appears in, so it is also interesting to compare them.

In August of every year, the national baseball championship for high schoolers is held. This
tournament first holds qualifiers in each prefecture. The teams that win the qualifiers enter the
national championship as representatives of their districts. The national championship is held at
Koshien Stadium in Hyogo Prefecture, so it is also called "Summer Koshien."
All of this tournament's games are broadcast nationally on T\/, and they are also heavily
covered by the newspapers. The victory or loss of a local team is a big news story. There are also
people who are not normally interested in baseball but just watch Summer Koshien. Summer high
school baseball is something that all Japanese people, not just high schoolers, enjoy.

There were three famous warriors who were successful in the late-16th century: Oda
Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Japan at that time was split into many small countries. These three men aspired to unify all
under heaven-in other words, to rule all of Japan. Nobunaga was a step away from achieving
his dream. Afterward, Hideyoshi unified all under heaven, but he died before he could stabilize
his government. In the end, Ieyasu took all under heaven. After that began the Edo Period, a
stable time that continued for around 260 years.
These three men are often compared because of their very distinctive personalities. There is a
famous phrase that represents each personality.
Nobunaga said, "If it won't sing, I will kill the lesser cuckoo." Hideyoshi said, "If it won't sing, I
will try to make the lesser cuckoo sing." Ieyasu said, "If it won't sing, I will wait until the lesser
cuckoo sings."

Once upon a time, there was a place where an old man and old woman lived. One day, the
old man found a glowing bamboo tree in the mountains. When he went near the bamboo tree,
there was a little girl inside. The old man decided to take the girl back to his home and raise her.
The girl soon grew big and became so beautiful that she could not conceivably be of this
world. So she was named Kaguya-hime ("Moon Princess").
Word of Kaguya-hime spread, and many aristocrats offered her their hand in marriage.
However, l<aguya-hime made no effort to marry anybody. The Emperor also heard the rumors
about Kaguya-hime, and he told her he wanted to meet her, but Kaguya-hime refused even this.
One day, Kaguya-hime said to the old man, "I came from the Moon. My people will come for
me on the night of the next full moon and I will have to return to the Moon."
The old man did not want to separate from l<aguya-hime and pleaded to her, "Stay here
forever." The Emperor also heard this story, and when the night of the full moon came, many
people guarded Kaguya-hime. However, when her people came for her from the Moon,
everyone became unable to move. Then, Kaguya-hime returned to the Moon.

One day Melos, a shepherd, criticized the King, who said to Melos, "I will execute you." "I am
prepared to die. But I want you to wait three days for my younger sister's wedding," pleaded
Melos. The deeply suspicious King said, "I can't believe what you say. You'll probably just
escape." The King did not believe Melos. Then, Melos asked a good friend to be a hostage for
him. If Melos escaped, his good friend would be killed instead.
Melos hurried back to his faraway village where his younger sister's wedding was held. After
the celebratory banquet ended it was the promised day. If he did not return to the castle
before the sun set, his good friend, who had done no wrong, would be executed. Although
Melos knew he would be killed if he returned, he overcame various difficulties and ran
desperately for the sake of his good friend who believed in him.
Melos arrived at the castle right before his good friend was to be killed. Melos cried, "Wait! It
is I who is to be killed." Seeing this, the King pardoned the two. Their friendship and trust in
people changed the King's mind.
