Introduction If you feel like you’re stuck in a rut with your Japanese language learning, try learning Japanese through music.

I recommend these 10 anime for beginners to learn Japanese. The 10 anime were selected not based on their story or interest, but on their suitability for studying Japanese. In these anime, Japanese culture, the character of the Japanese and their way of thinking are described in an easy-to-understand manner. If you look at not only words but also these factors, learning will be more fun.

It is impossible to learn Japanese only with anime. However, it is possible to learn Japanese by using anime well. The key is to complete basic learning such as vocabulary, kanji, and grammar before using anime. If you can do that, you will be able to understand Japanese culture and Japanese values by learning Japanese through anime.

When you start to get tired of learning Japanese the normal way, by using textbooks, give learning Japanese through music a try. In this first column, I will introduce 14 songs with a Japanese difficulty level of “Very Easy” to you! These are songs that will be good practice for listening/speaking, even for beginners of Japanese language learning.
