About Me

I am an electrical engineering major college student currently attending Oklahoma State University. I love music and languages, expecially Japanese.

Here at LyricWiki.org I work on the Japanese songs, deal with the templates and do various work dealing with the technical side of the site. I am a programmer and have contributed code to this site. I am also very interested in making this site the primary source of licensed lyrics available on the internet.

I helped start the LyricWiki:Japan group to help get the Japanese lyrics consistent and to have a place to talk with others interested in Japanese. I have been studying Japanese since I first discovered Japanese music in the summer of 2002. I'm by no means at a native level, but that is my target. This also provides an opportunity to gauge how far I have come and how far I still have to go with my studies.

I originally found this site through the music player I use, Amarok. I don't even remember why I installed the script for this site, but I did. One thing lead to another and here I am, most likely to stay for a very long time.

If you need to contact me, leave a note on my talk page. I can also usually be found idling in the site's IRC channel.

Japanese Resources

• Rikaichan (in browser popup Japanese/English dictionary) This makes romanizing japanese songs a whole lot easier.
• "An Introduction to Japanese Syntax, Grammar and Language" - free online book on Japanese Grammar. This is one of the best grammar books I have every read.
• Japanese Dictionary This Japanese site has a Japanese-English dictionary, and also a Japanese-Only dictionary, i.e. definitions in Japanese, which I find very helpful to read how the Japanese describe the meaning of their words.
