Let me know your favourite podcasts!

Teppei's beginner podcast is soooooo good, it got to a point i could almost completely understand an entire episode after about 3 months of studying and it made me SO happy (ive been on break from learning because i was moving a lot and just recently got my books back, lost most of my notes though 😢)

Cheers for the comprehensive list. I think all beginners (+ some intermediate) would also benefit from Benjiro - Beginner Japanese, Comprehensible Japanese, Japanese with Shun, The Bite size Japanese Podcast, Sakura Tips, Nihongo-Learning, Learn Japanese with Tanaka san and a fairly new one called Daily Japanese with Naoko. YAKO KIMURA's Think in Japanese is also a good natural conversation podcast that deserves some attention. For grammar and JLPT Chika Sensei and of course 日本語の森. This could go on all day so I'll leave it there for now :). I realise some of these are youtube channels more than podcasts. Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing my podcast!😄🙏 I always listen to your podcast and your wife's too!

This video helped me found a lot of useful channels and podcasts. Thank you.

Nihongo con teppei is sooo good. Like he uses understandable level. And then talks interesting things. Feels like friend talks

WOW there’s so many! I didn’t realize there was such an abundance of podcasts geared at japanese-learners. Thanks a ton for this vid.

Great list, especially as I'm trying to transition from contents aimed at Japanese learners (big Teppei fan) to standard podcasts in Japanese. In this category, I absolutely recommend Peter Barakan's The Lifestyle Museum. Great cultural contents with guest interviews on a large variety of topics + ideal length (30 mn).

another podcast I recommend is ことのは日本語の会話のPodcast！they talk about a bunch of different interesting topics and relating to japanese society and everyday life, and mainly do topics from N3-Above N1, but have beginner segments too!

For learning Japanese I like Miku very much. She's a great teacher. When it comes to native level podcasts (not for learning, but more to keep Japanese in my ears) I like to listen to なんちゃラジオ, the podcast of an idol group called なんちゃらアイドル. I'll have to look for the RSS feeds of the other casts.

Great list. My favourite is Bilingual News. It's so good I'd listen to it just for the content, but the fact it's half in Japanese is icing on the cake. I highly recommend it!

A great one for beginners is “Japanese with Kanako” She puts a lot of work into her shadowing podcasts and I find them extremely useful.

Cheers mate, fantastic fantastic fantastic compilation!!!!

Thanks for the suggestions! I like さむいぼラジオ the most

Thank you! Very helpful list!

Very useful and informative, looking forward to finding my podcast!

Thank you for your recommendation. I've followed many and will start listening when walking to the uni!

im so glad I found this channel you're a life saver greetings from Poland

Thank you for this video, really useful!

Thanks for the great inspiration! This is very helpful regarding the podcast jungle. "Learn Japanese with Noriko", "Miku Real Japanese podcast" are my favorites. I like the videos from the channel "japanese with Naoko". I like listening to yuyu as well, even when it is more advanced.

Liamさん、紹介ありがとうございます✨いつも聞いてくれてとても嬉しいです！実は私も英語を勉強している友達にLiamさんのPodcastを紹介しています😄私もときどき聴いていますよ！お互い頑張りましょうね👍これからもよろしくお願いします😆

Cheers for the recommendations mate - Trying to get more input these days!

For Brazilians, the best podcast is nihongo na prática, a Brazilian fluent in Japanese does lives on social networks with live questions, about 200 people watch the lives and send questions on how to say something in Japanese, then he passes the audio to the podcast, ranging from basics to advanced.

good content. subscribed

Super helpful! Thank you!!

Thanks for the recommendations I am going to check them all up. I used to listen to weekly Japan round the time the ended it. Shiro kuro papa sounds like the perfect thing for me.

Thank you so much for sharing! ご紹介ありがとうございます😊たくさんの有名な方々と並べてもらえて光栄です☺️✨

My favourites are Luke's English Podcast, Rock'n'roll English, English Go, some BBC's 6 minutes and... surprise, Easy Natural English with Liam 👌

This was really helpful. Arigatou gozaimasu.

Wow I wish you uploaded this when I started in 2020. I was listening to native level content for a year straight and in late 2021 just started watching Yuyu and Akane's videos. The rest of these would've given me more progress had I watched them before! I even looked up "best Japanese podcasts videos" back then and got nothing. Haha

I passed the JlptN5 this year and listening to podcasts helps a lot. I already listen to Nihongo to teppei which to me is quite comprehensible, but it s not the case with miku. So even at beginner level, there are different "sub levels" i would say. I obviously encourage beginners to listen to teppei

紹介してくれてありがとうございます！友達のチャンネル/ポッドキャストもあって嬉しかったです！

Thank you

Thanks❤

I'll have to listen to some of these podcasts! I mainly use yt videos & podcasts for listening immersion so this was super useful 😀Recently i've been listening to alot of neoおじさん on spotify & わたなべ夫婦のふたりごと. Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing our podcast!! Asami is listening to yours too!! ご紹介ありがとうございますー！私たちも聴かせていただいてますー！

Its not a podcast channel but i think that もしもしゆうすけ is good for people that want to learn japanese. He is doing amazing job with subtitles and it helps with learning vocabulary and grammar.

This was super helpful ^_^

Thanks very much for this list! Hopefully most of those you listed also have KZfaq channels since I don't really use a podcast app.

As many others have said, thank you for this list! I've struggled for years trying to find good podcasts to listen for advanced Japanese. Because it's close to halloween, I think I'll try さむいぼラジオ first. Also subscribed. Thank you!

Just came across your channel man, great stuff! I really am just starting out in Japanese, I've probably been at it for about two weeks or so now. I'm mainly studying it through French (which I have a C1/C2 level in), but I definitely plan on taking a look at some of the beginner podcasts you mentioned here, although I expect that I won't understand much! Thanks again man, you've earned a sub

ah that 0:32 eBay notification sound

I really enjoyed this video. It’s hard to find native content when you’re trying to break into intermediate level Japanese. I’d love to see a video of other recommendations you have for KZfaq channels. It’s another space of the internet that’s has a lot of native content that’s hard to navigate if you have low level Japanese like me

Amazing list, thanks! I’d add: 痛いおじさんズPODCAST (two guys talking/native/comedy sorta genre) And Amao Japan (one guy talking about Japanese culture. Similar sense of humour to Teppei)

Thank you for the list. I just want to share some other chanels I am following: *4989 America life: A 40s woman talks about her life in America. She aims at native Japanese but provides free scripts for Japanese learners. *Nihongo switch: Each ep. goes deeply in a grammar point or a group of idiom, as well as how to use them in real life. This podcast is helpful no mater which level are you. *Let's learn Japanese from small talk: 2 young girls talk about daily topics. They was quite popular but do not update recently.

Hi baribari Japan! Recently found your channel and loving your videos and the information you are sharing is so useful! Question on your listening though, with the podcasts you listen to, do you try to push your abilities by listening to things that are above your current comprehension level, or do you focus on comprehension first and then moving into harder topics? I'm currently around N3 level but am struggling with progressing higher as the jump from intermediate to advanced is mountainous. I find the next level of podcasts to be really difficult as they tend to be in super hard / super quick Japanese aimed at Japanese people or advanced learners. For example, Miku's podcast, I can understand about 65% - 75% of it (Depending on the subject) but Coten Radio I'm around 25% comprehension. Would you suggest stick with something like Miku until I get higher comprehension or challenge myself with Coten Radio? Apologies if this has been asked before but appreciate any advice you can give :)

I also like Tokyo Midtown presents the lifestyle museum

as a spanish native i was so confused by the name "nihongo con teppei"! I found it very helpful though

One I listened a lot to is a Podcast for Native japanese as well. 結婚したい乙女のアダルトーク Yeah... I know. But it is very funny and interesting !!!

Great list! I have a lot of podcasts to check out 😍 I love YUYU 日本語 podcast! I also really like Daily japanese with Naoko and Japanese with Shun 👏🏻

Thanks for the native content suggestions. Couldn’t find ひいきびいき on Spotify unfortunately.

この動画を作ってくれてありがとうございます！！！I know this video has been here for 2 months and it is probably too late to write anything, but hey, I am so very thankful. After becoming a mother, I stopped learning Japanese for 6 years. My life changed 2 years ago when I discovered the universe of Podcasts (unknown to me). For 2 years I have been listening to podcasts, but only a couple of them, the ones for learners. I am very indebted to those podcasts but all of a sudden you have opened a new world up for me, thank you so much for that. Now I have so many hours to keep busy listening to podcasts, it is just amazing and also a challenge to listen to podcast for Japanese native speakers. Is there an email contact adress where I can write to you? 心からありがたいです。

僕はMiku real Japanese , yuyu nihongo , masami sensei , haruko Nihongo Café の動画見てます。

Thanks for the list. There are some on here I haven't heard of and will definitely check out. I like to listen to Nihongo Switch the woman that does this one provides transcripts you can download, for laughs モーニングドッグショー (they also have a youtube channel but don't update as often), I live in Kansai so if you want some Kansai-ben there's a podcast by 3 siblings that are half-Japanese and it's chaotic called 大阪育ちハーフ３兄弟, there are more but I won't bore you. If anyone wants to know hit me up.

would have be nice to linik to their channels

You can't miss The Bite size Japanese Podcast.

At what level should you be before I would start listening to podcasts. Iv only gotten to lesson 5 on the genki 1 text book so I won't understand anything on the podcast yet. Thanks

The majority of Japanese podcasts seem old skool radio DJ personality driven chat show or news and lifestyle type. Are there any slightly more experimental type shows based purely on subscriber material such as This is Actually Happening or Lets Read? The podcasts seem a bit mundane here, much like the radio. There must be some leftfield stuff out there surely? I havent found anything yet and KZfaq seems to be a better place for content perhaps the underground view podcasts a bit like the facebook of the streamed content world.

List doesn't work.

Just found your channel recently, great videos! Here are a few recommendations apart from those mentioned in the video, probably intermediate to upper intermediate-ish (all but the first one are aimed at native speakers): 1.Thinking in Japanese Podcast : A lot of philosopical and self-help-esque topics. Includes some difficult words, but is spoken slowly/clearly, sometimes with a little English to help out. 2. 大原ゆい子のちるあうとラジオ : This one is only on KZfaq, but it's almost entirely audio-only. A chill podcast where singer-songwriter Ōhara Yuiko talks about various topics, including her favorite foods and new things she's into. She also asks the listeners questions and reads people's responses to previous questions. There's also a section in each episode where she sings either a song she's chosen herself, or a song that was requested by a listener. 3. ゲームデザインの話 : A former Nintendo programmer talks with guests from the game industry about various topics related to game design and the games industry in general. 4. Bright Bit Brothers : Two guys talk about video games from the 80s and 90s in a very informative way. A typical episode goes through the history of a single retro game or console (development, sales numbers, what was special about it, what else happened around that time in gaming, etc.)

Thank you
