I haven't gotten good enough to do this with Japanese, but it really works with Spanish:
Translate your favorite song. When you listen to the song, you'll think of the translation, and it's a lot more interesting than flash cards. Also, you work on grammar.

Well still learning Japanese it will take a while to get used to it.
I have trouble myself. Still practice is important. I try to listen to the subtitled animes and try to reinforce the words I already know when I hear them. Hope this helps.
