I seriously need some kind of vocab list that has all the daily use (日用！I'm on a roll!）words and stuff.
Haha, I still have that problem sometimes. :'D It's the problem with learning a language to quite a high level, but learning it largely in the context of fantastical media rather than as it relates to real life. You know all these really complicated words for all sorts of strange things, but sometimes lack the words to describe the mundane stuff around you in your daily life. :'D I guess I'm getting more of that both by living here and by reading lots of books set in the real world as opposed to the largely fantasy-based RPGs I used to learn from.

Fairly ordinary, everyday visual novels like the To Heart games might be good for that? Set in the real world, with characters doing very ordinary things, and lots of narration. Don't know if they're really any good or not, but yeah~
