In order to improve my pronounciation, I¥'m searching for Japanese tongue twisters. I have collected a few interesting examples so far (see below) but would be grateful for any others that fellow ProZers may know.



Examples:

バスガスばくはつ

東京特許許可局

となりの客はよく柿食う客だ

赤レゼルブ白レゼルブロゼレゼルブ

かえるぴょこぴょこ三ぴょこぴょこ。あわせてぴょこぴょこぴょこぴょこ。

坊主が上手に扉風に坊主の絵を書いた。

新人少女シャンソ¥ン歌手　　

新春シャンソ¥ンショー

早口言葉 720発！ Feb 5, 2003

下記のサイトには、今までに聞いたことないような早口言葉がたくさん載っています。意味不明な言い回しも結構¥あるようですね。



また、地方の方言が反映されている早口言葉もあるようです。例えば、「四条の新町しんこ屋の新兵衛さん尻にしんこ挟んで辛気くさがって死なはった(京都)」なんていうのもあり、思わず吹き出してしまいました。



これらの早口言葉をすべて完璧に（もちろん早口で）発音できる日本人を探すほうが難しいかもしれません。
