Looks nice, but what's the deal with Mickey Mouse voice? Is it sponsored by Disney or something?

    I think it's just one of the standard JP voice synthesisers available. I know I've heard almost exactly the same one on other Youtube videos using text-to-speech for Japanese.

Fun. I studied Japanese for two years, let it slide and now every Kanji is like "Hmmm, I've seen that before but..." I can still read kana though, which is nice to know.

This looks very cool, but I find it very hard to read the text against the moving background. The lights in the "windows" of the voxel building do not provide good contrast.

I don't know why, but that was an extreme load on my computer/browser. The picture changed every ten-fifteen seconds, I don't know if that's intentional or not, but it wasn't something I wanted to watch. The computer fan ran at maximum and it was hard to get enough CPU to close the browser tab.

    If you right click on the page, you can 'open image in new tab' and get an image of the current screen. I assume that means it is rendering an entirely new image each frame... which is a tad wild.

I am going to reach out to you via email. I like this project and I am building something similar. Maybe we can collaborate or keep in contact.

What a cool idea! Need something similar for Korean - perhaps the EverLine light rail line in Yongin.

Voxel Tokyo has very pleasant vibes.

    Tokyo has very pleasant vibes. It's an amazing city. My brother lives there since 30 years and I've been many times (it's so far that when I go, I go for 3 months).

    My daughter loves it and, motivated by having japanese family, she's currently trying to learn japanese.

    I think she'll love that site (I'll show it to her as soon as she comes back home).

This site caused my iPhone to start playing music and wouldn’t stop until I rebooted. I’m on the latest security release of iOS. Something off about that.

    Works fine for me on a 17e.

Does this scale beyond N5/N4?

This could be a really useful tool.

This looks good and I like the idea but I don't get what the "practice" is here?
