Yeah, I've come across that site. It's helpful. Great imagery, too. Of course, with the older storms (before RSMC Tokyo took over RSMC duties), there's some storms that may have been named by JTWC that never were JMA TDs...

That's a nice page, I've now got it bookmarked. :D The comparison of previous storms is a good feature.

The stats page they link to there is rather good. http://www.data.kishou.go.jp/yohou/typhoon/index.html You'll need to look at the various links as if you don't know Japanese thats the only way to tell what they are. It also has tracks for all the storms this year that have already had the best tracks released (Up to 0609), but no text best track from what I can see.
