Akaeho (Baby Books)
This is a really cute site that features a lot of baby books created by the owner of the site themself! This is perfect for those new to Japanese, however the site is entirely in Japanese. Despite that, it is still fairly easy to navigate and use the site.

SushiRamenRiku
If you have ever watched a Michael Reeves video, then you will know just how chaotic and interesting they can be. Now take that and put it into Japanese with a lot of explosions and screams, and you have Riku. He speaks insanely fast, but he does have subtitles available!

動あり
If you are looking for something that is reminiscent of 2016 Youtube but in Japanese, you should check out this channel. Fully in Japanese with embedded subtitles, this creator uses plenty of slang and modern Japanese for you to learn from. He does speak quite quickly though, so this is not for beginners!

Radio Osaka
As the title suggests, this is a youtube channel that uploads clips from a radio broadcast in Osaka! You should expect to hear native level speeds as well as a decent amount of "textbook" Japanese. Fair warning, this channel is based out of the Kansai region, so you may encounter some Kansai-Ben!
