The Nihongo Journal's final issue was December 2007. This magazine has all kinds of articles for Japanese language learners of all levels. It was published monthly and it included a CD. The January 2006 edition was 1680 yen plus tax and shipping.
This magazine (or at least past incarnations of it) is an excellent Japanese learning resource and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning Japanese and/or taking the proficiency test in December.
Take a peek inside the first issue.
