Everyone loves to listen to music that resonates with them aurally and lyrically. We connect with songs we understand, that tell our stories, share our feelings, emotions, and experiences, that we can sing along with until they're part of us.

However, since Japanese is a language full of nuance that is often contextually understood, for non-native listeners, much is often missed or lost when the actual meaning of what's being said isn't captured through a literal Google or AI translation.

Lyrical translation adds the complications of rhyme, meter, and cadence to unspoken cultural and linguistic context. Typical YouTube lyric videos leave listeners missing out on important elements that convey the meaning or story being told, sound forced to fit, or are just plain mistranslated.

I want to create the best translations and lyric videos on YouTube that let you sing along with some of the best new JPOP in English too.

Hope you love them as much as I do!
