there are certain words with no translation (most words on this site have a ? symbol that you can click to see the translation, but about 10% of them or so do not). is this a bug, or do those just not have the translations inputted yet? an example is 有楽町 -- it's in my weak list, but has no translation listed. from googling it, it seems to be a neighborhood or sub-city or something? similar to shinjuku and shibuya? but there's no translation listed here at all, and even rikaichan doesn't know what it means.

Yūrakuchō is a neighborhood of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, situated in between the Ginza and Hibiya Park, near the neighborhood of Shinbashi.
Unlike its tonier neighbor Ginza, Yūrakuchō provides a glimpse of Japanese life from the early postwar period, with its many izakaya (Japanese-style bars, denoted by their red lanterns known as akachochin) and outdoor yakitori restaurants, many of which are located under the train tracks serving Tokyo's JR Yamanote Line. Because of its many traditional Japanese-style eating establishments, as well as its location on the Yamanote Line with easy access to Tokyo Station, Yūrakuchō is a favorite drinking spot for businessmen on their way home from work.
- I just encountered it now by coincidence. It seems I've got it mostly right from looking at the kanji, figuring it was some place.
有 = ゆう (e.g. 有名 ゆうめい),
楽 = らく, easy (楽しい, fun),
町 ちょう = town （also pronounced まち）
So it actually consists of some easy kanji, which should help you get it right every time!
