> What is kigurumi?

Kigurumi (着ぐるみ) is a kind of costuming where the player wears a full body skin suit (called hadatai) along with an anime mask. The Japanese word "kigurumi" refers to any kind of full-body costume, but in this thread we're specifically looking for anime masks combined with skin-toned bodysuits - properly known as "animegao" kigurumi.

> Where can I find kigurumi pictures/videos?

http://www.animegao.com/ combines many kigurumi blogs and sites into a single feed. On pixiv, the 着ぐるみ and 着ぐる絵 tags contain many relevant images. Many Japanese kigurumi players now use Twitter. http://pastebin.com/nYuh4aat contains a random assortment of links.

Kigurumi players often stream videos on http://www.ustream.tv. You can find them by searching for "kigurumi" or "着ぐるみ". http://www.mediafire.com/?xtqkc2yn75u54 and http://yellingtoilet.com/search/?q=kigurumi have many kigurumi fetish videos. Don't beg.

> How much does this cost?

A reasonable mask and bodysuit will cost roughly 1000-2000 USD depending on quality.

> Drama?

No. Kigurumi girls have to be cute and friendly, not just in appearance, but in heart as well!
That means there is no porn.

> Isn't it usually dudes who wear these?

Yes.

I've found I can learn Japanese from reading, understand a whole set of vocabulary and break down the meaning, I learnt the kana, and feel I've made progression over the past few months with reading and writing, studying about two hours a day on a specific subject. Like numbers/dates, verbs/conjugation and so on.

Now when I listen to Japanese recordings, with dialogue I already know, It's like I don't understand anything that has been said. Even though I technically know the meaning of all the words, hearing it said out loud at natural speed can just lose me and my mind goes blank, so its like I haven't learnt anything.

Is there a good method to improve listening understanding? Should I just replay recordings over and over again until I make sense of it, or are there any techniques to help understand speech?

My approach now is instead of learning Japanese, just learning Genki, I'm trying to understand the whole course inside out before I move onto anything else, which makes the task of learning a new language a bit less overwhelming. But it hasn't helped me understand speech at all.
