Please keep the scary themes coming! How about teaching us how to tell some jokes? Thanks for your hard work Japanese Pod 101!!! c I really liked the lesson, but there is a mistake in the vocabulary list (I think).

I listened to Halloween Kaidan during my drive to work this morning, and have listened to the other premium lessons that you offered, and wow! The quality of these stories just blows away anything I would have expected. I have to admit, I still feel like I'm a beginner and can't understand everything in these podcasts, but I can't wait for more of these premium episodes! You encourage me to keep at my studies. I even bought Miki's A Day in the Life, knowing that I wasn't going to understand most of what was being said, but because, I suppose, I want to encourage you to continue with this content. Absolutely stellar. I thank you, Dan JapanesePod101 Team,

Do include "gofun" in your search to filter out the ones with padded silk faces. Here in Singapore, most people would be very nervous about bringing a previously-owned doll into their home without knowing its provenance thoroughly, it's probably a superstitious/cultural thing!

But these things are expensive! Sayako should have sold the doll and used the money to buy herself a pair of manolos. Btw, the "gofun" refers to the subtle white finish on the faces, which is made from ground-up oyster shells.
