Learn Japanese - Japanese song lyrics translation website (Forum Spotlight)
Monday, July 20th, 2009Welcome to Forum Spotlight! Here we’ll be introducing interesting and useful posts made by members at our very own JapanesePod101.com Forum. This week’s forum spotlight post is by Taurus, who shared a great site that features Japanese songs lyrics in the original Japanese with nice English translations. After posting this, many other forum members jumped in with their own Japanese lyric site links. Singing in Japanese is actually a great way to improve your Japanese pronunciation, so why not give it a try!

I’m sorry if this has been posted before but, inspired by my quest to find surprising karaoke songs, I’ve just come across a website that has a load of song lyrics in both Japanese and English. It might be useful if you’re trying to expand the range of your exposure to original Japanese sources.

Thanks for these links!
I also accidentally came across this site, Linkapi, and it’s pretty cool. It lists each line in Japanese first and then in English, and this goes for either Japanese or English songs. It’s something new and pretty awesome! ^^

It’s not organized well at all but scrolling down/searching and finding songs you know is fun :]
