Update: It's now easier to keep up to date with new Japan-related Twitterers by following @JapanList.

:In my previous article I listed the Top Japan-related people to follow on Twitter. They're a friendly bunch to follow if you wish to get an idea of daily life in Japan or discuss about learning Japanese.

This second list is about the Japan-related websites on Twitter. They automatically update each time an article is added to their website. This means you're not likely to get any conversation out of them, but it's great for keeping up with what's happening on the Japan-related web as well as an excellent way to find new sites.

Here's the list, in no particular order:

JapanSoc Top Stories on Twitter @japansoc
JapanSoc New Stories on Twitter @japansoc_new
JapanSoc.org on Twitter @japansoc_org
Japan Blogs (Thanks to Neil Duckett) on Twitter @Japan_Blogs
WhatJapanThinks on Twitter @WhatJapanThinks
Japan Probe on Twitter @JamesJPN
Akihabara News on Twitter @akihabaranews
Engrishdotcom on Twitter @engrishdotcom
JapanToday on Twitter @JapanToday
JPop Japan on Twitter @JPopJapan
Nihongoup on Twitter @nihongoup
