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

#12This looks good and I like the idea but I don't get what the "practice" is here?

#14I 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.

#16Looks nice, but what's the deal with Mickey Mouse voice? Is it sponsored by Disney or something?

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).

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.

#20I 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.
