says... nanako dedicates
this page to those who appreciate the wonderful sound that is Japanese
pop but who have a trying time looking for or deciphering the words of their
favorite songs. The romanization she used is based on the Hepburn system
and although she left romaji lyrics as is, she took the liberty of romanizing
all the 外来語(loanwords). She'd like to remind the visitors of this page that she is doing this ONLY as a way to help fans of Japanese pop in their personal enjoyment of these songs and is in no way gaining
profit for this purpose. She hopes you will also respect that the song lyrics
are property of the respective composers/ performers/ recording companies.
She cannot promise to immediately include new songs as her resources are
quite limited but she's willing to entertain requests for lyrics of songs
which may be available in the Nanako collection. Unfortunately, she is sorry to say she can't entertain requests for song translations or taped copies of the songs.
Enjoy and hope you karaoke away to your heart's content!
