I would suggest buying a first year textbook from a college bookstore. You don't have to be enrolled in the class. Like Nakama 1 will give all the syllable pronuciations on the CD that comes with the book and workbook. You can also listen to Japanese music or videos to learn the flow of the language or if they ever have a Japan Festival, go there and listen to native speakers. Just make sure whatever you listen to is native speakers first, that's the important thing.

thanks for that akiko (off topic, but, anyone like my sig?)

I agree with Akiko - most of these books come with matching CDs. I'm currently doing the Japanese for Busy People course, and that has almost every Japanese word in the textbook on an accompanying CD.

I'd also suggest finding some Japanese friends, they're invaluable, as you will be able to hear the same words spoken with different regional accents and at different pitches. That way you'll get a better all-round impression of pronunciation.
