RE: Pitch Accent and Kanji Help
Gakusha,
That problem with h sounding like s is a regional accent -- an obscure one at that. I found this out when another software program {made by the infamous topic entertainment, a company that should be avoided at almost all costs} pronounced hibito as something that sounded like "stub your toe". After stumping many people I was finally able to locate somebody who knew what was going on. He explained to me that this particular accent is only used by people from a very small part of Japan {whose name I can't remember}.
Also, just this morning I found this web site, which has a fascinating article on pitch accent:

That's a helpful article, arigatou. But it's kind of weird how the last 3 words of each line are repeated as the first 3 words of the next.
