Do you want to understand Japanese music better? If you've been studying Japanese for some time, but find you still can't understand the lyrics much, you're not alone. Japanese music will use a lot of words and phrases that aren't used in day-to-day life, and thus, aren't taught on learning sites. The main reason I picked up Japanese years ago was to understand the lyrics without looking up translations all the time. I studied the language 3 years seriously then, but it didn't help me much with my goal, and I never had opportunities to practice the language. Now that I have my anime cover band and music blog, I am more motivated than ever to understand help others understand Japanese music. Continuing off from my 250+ Common Japanese Lyrics article, this dictionary has over 650+ common and uncommon Japanese words that you are bound to hear quite a few times in Japanese music. This is sorted by romanji, so if you hear a word, you can easily look it up. You can also choose to study this dictionary in advance so you'll be able to recognize these words when you listen to more music. There are a lot of words that took me a lot of time to find the definition for, so you can be sure that you'll save time having this by your side.
