About This Page

This page collects read-aloud video/audio clips for children. Many of them are performed by voice performers who participated to #せいゆうろうどくかい, advocated by a voice performer 悠木碧 (ゆうきあおい). Participating voice performers voluntarily recite children's literature works available in the Online Public Domain Book Collection, 青空文庫 (あおぞらぶんこ). Link to the original text in 青空文庫 is also provided so that the users can read the text while listening. To listen materials for young adults, go to "For ​Listening Practice: Young Adults."
