Do you like furigana?Just in case, furigana is the little hiragana that you can see over kanji in Japanese text that helps reading them. Is very useful if you're studying the language.
The other day I found some really useful tools related to furigana, and though on sharing them.
The first are a series of Firefox add-ons that make furigana appear over kanji in websites written in japanese (unless the text is part of an image, of course) You can download them here: http://code.google.com/p/itadaki/downloads/list
You need to install the "Furigana Inserter", "HTML Ruby" and the dictionary. I also had to install this: http://code.google.com/p/mecab/downloads/detai

Yes, that's all This road is cruel, But when you smile... Because of your kindness, when I try to think Of the painful times, from inside my heart Come countless smiles Inside my chest was sprouting so much brilliance From this shallow dream, wake me up already, it's dying My voice can't tell you But, when you sing... From this sorrow, I summon strength And walk forward, to a place I've never seen Towards the light Because of your kindness, when I try to think Of the painful times, from inside my heart Come countless smiles [Daisuke Namikawa is the seiyuu (voice actor) for Fai D.
