Japan Blogs I Like

So I'm kind of considering starting a Japan Culture, Japanese language blog to stand alone. I've held volunteer Japanese language classes before and it might be a fun tool to have if I do that again, maybe give the students lessons/hw/questions to ponder and cultural factoids to look up. It's tough to say something that hasn't been said before, but I guess the fun thing about blog culture is you see similar subjects in all different lights based on all the blogs out there.

Here are some of my favorite blogs by people living/working in Japan:

The Good:

(And most of them more or less have a lot of overlap... such is life)

I'm supposed to be studying for a final tomorrow so I'll leave this at that and come back with more links later.
