Has anyone here used this, or something similar which you can recommend ? The Sounds of Japanese with Audio CD
I found a review. "...This book is definitely not for teaching or learning how to pronounce the Japanese sounds, as the title might mislead prospective readers at first sight. The principal preoccupation of the author is with a phonology (or phonemics as he chooses to call it) of “Tokyo Japanese” as spoken today. Circumstantially explained and densely argued, the book requires concentration and patience on the readers’ part in following what the author has to say on the various aspects of “the sounds of Japanese”..." --Tsutomu Akamatsu http://www.linguistics.fi/julkaisut/SKY2009/Akamatsu_NETTI.pdf
