Today, I’m going to introduce an interesting iPhone application, “Rodoku Shojo - Story Time Girl -” produced by OTOBANK Inc. In this application, Shiori Otoha, who is a cute girl in a school uniform, recites a story. I think it’s similar to audiobooks. Surprisingly, you can get it for free! But, in order to let her recite, you need to purchase novels which you want her to read aloud. Actually, over 50 novels is released on the Internet. For example, you can buy famous novels such as “Rashomon and “ A Dog of Flanders”. Moreover, you can buy popular Japanese novels primarily targeting junior high and high school students, so-called light novel, such as “Idiots, Tests, and Summoned Beasts (Baka to Test to Shōkanjū)”. That’s why you can enjoy various kinds of novels. If you have your own iPhone or iPod touch, I recommend this application for you.
According to some researches, Japanese college students hardly read books a month. Probably, the reason is that they are so busy at work or something like that. But I think they should read books more. If they use “Rodoku Shojo” or audiobooks, they can enjoy the stories even while they are going to school. I’m sure it is pretty important for us, university students, to read books. So, I continue to introduce this application as long as I can.
That’s all for today.
Thank you very much.
