romaji word list

Hi all,

I've been searching around the web for a word frequency list for Japanese, 
in romaji (Latin letters).  I haven't had any luck but I did find a nifty 
web based converter from kanji, hiragana, katakana to romaji, and thought I 
would pass on the address.

Since I don't know Japanese, I found that if I searched generic English 
terms like hiv, gene, u.s.a., cancer, etc in google's Japanese only search I 
got some reasonable pages to convert.  Cnn jp was also a good soucre:

It's a bit time consuming and balanced this corpus might not be.  But if you 
are looking for stop words, like I am, this method seems to work ok - better 
than no frequency list at all.  And if there is a romaji frequency list out 
there, could you let me know :)

If any one has suggestions for Korean, that would be great, too.

BTW, njstar's Chinese word processing software, which I think is still free, 
will convert a text of characters to pinyin (among other cool things).

Best,
