Japanese doesn't put spaces between words in native script, so lines break by natural phrasing rather than word count. This tool exports every .lrc file as UTF-8 text, so kanji, hiragana, and katakana all come through correctly, whether the AI transcribed the song or you pasted your own lyrics.
Many fans also want romanized lyrics alongside the native script, for reading along without knowing kanji. Pasting your own romaji as the lyric text works the same way as pasting native-script lyrics: the AI aligns it to the audio's timing.
Anime opening and ending themes are their own well-followed genre, with international fan communities that regularly time and translate them. J-pop and city pop are also widely listened to outside Japan, often by people who don't read Japanese but still want accurate timing.
The AI doesn't need to know the genre in advance, it listens to the audio directly.
Fan communities that time and translate OP/ED songs need accurate line timing as a starting point before adding subtitles or a translation track.
Following synced lyrics while listening is a common way to connect how a phrase is written with how it's actually sung.
A standard .lrc file works with common karaoke apps and players, so a synced Japanese track drops straight into an existing setup.
Yes. Every .lrc file is exported as UTF-8 text, so all three scripts come through exactly as transcribed or typed.
If you paste your own romaji as the lyric text, the AI aligns it to the audio the same way it would native-script lyrics.
Yes, the AI transcribes and times any Japanese audio, including anime OP/ED tracks, the same way it handles J-pop or other genres.
No, that's optional. Leave the lyrics box empty and the AI transcribes and times the vocals directly from the audio.
