Pick a song, see every word, kanji and grammar point hiding in it, and practice them until they stick. Turns out your playlist was a textbook all along.
No account needed - just pick a song and start.
Each song comes in three parts - words, kanji and grammar - and each one has its own way to practice.
Flip through flashcards both ways - see the word and recall its meaning, or see the meaning and recall the word. Already know one? Mark it and skip right past.
Draw each kanji with the correct Japanese stroke order, with its meanings and readings right beside it. Your hand remembers more than you'd think.
Just here to understand the songs? Songs need their kanji to be complete, but you can make kanji optional in your profile. Songs then complete with their words and grammar alone, and kanji stay there whenever you're curious.
Every grammar point is explained in plain English, with how to build it and example sentences of its own - so you can use it outside the song too.
Every song comes in the short anime version and the full one, so you can start small. No lyrics on the page - just what you need to learn, with the official video to sing along to.
Every session earns points. Hit your daily goal, keep your streak alive, and let reviews bring words back right before you'd forget them.

Create a free accountReading Japanese in English letters feels easier at first, but it keeps your brain reaching for the familiar alphabet instead of learning to read. So everything here is real Japanese script, from day one.
Hiragana or katakana still a bit wobbly? No worries - the cheat sheet has every character with its reading, and quick practice sessions to drill them.

Easy and catchy - lots of everyday words about feelings, resolve and standing your ground.
For a long time I learned from songs the hard way: a translator in one tab, Kakimashou to practice the kanji, JLPT Sensei to figure out the grammar, and a notebook to hold it all together. I loved it, but it took forever.
I'd wanted a place that had everything in one spot for years, so I finally built it. I'm still learning too - every new song I add is one I'm studying myself.
