[edit] Group Purpose

• Provide a place to coordinate the romanization and translation of Japanese lyrics and provide a way to have peer reviews of both.
• Provide a way to pool resources such as CD booklet scans, websites, etc. to help with translations and romanizations.
• Provide a place for discussing Japan, the Japanese language and culture as it relates to lyrics and music.

[edit] General Group Rules

• If you are trying to refer to a Japanese word, please use the kanji and provide a reading for it like this or something similar: 胸 (mune). Please don't use only romaji if it can be helped, it doesn't accurately describe the Japanese language.
