Earlier quoted context omitted.

The pitch variants are also highly regional but that’s an interesting idea. I wouldn’t want to give it to learners in use cases I can think of, when correct data is available though (just with licensing headaches/costs) The correct data already exists, so I'm not sure what the point is besides having a less accurate but freer option

99% (or more) of the recordings you might find for training would be in the standard accent unless you were specifically digging for regional accents.

it's also changing generationally

Hmm, this reminds me of Jim Rose's stroke order diagram retrographer-editor[0] (SODER) from some time ago. [0]: https://archive.org/details/soder

That seems to have been uploaded on February 11 2023. I remember kanjicafe.com, which used to have a giant picture of Jim Rose's face for some reason. The site seems to have gone now. https://web.archive.org/web/20040925183635/http://kanjicafe....

There's a bunch of 2000s-era Japanese content up at http://ftp.edrdg.org/pub/Nihongo/00INDEX.html>; I've been uploading some it it to the Internet Archive. The GIF you mentioned is on there, as well as SODER.
