:: Policy and terms of use

All data on this site (kanji lyrics, CD data, news) are things I have taken from other people, most often music artists’ websites and online stores. I use them non-commercially for the purposes of: (1) archiving that information, and (2) making it available to others in the hope of introducing music to more people. If you are offended or feel I am using any of this data wrongfully, contact me and I will remove the offending or misused material immediately.

All interpretation on this site (romaji lyrics, lyric translations, reviews, artist spotlights) is done by me, after becoming thoroughly familiar with the original source material. That means I listen to a CD many times before I review it, and I transliterate and translate song lyrics from the original source booklet, not “by ear.” Because these things are my interpretation, please don’t plagiarize or claim credit for them. If you see my words being plagiarized or other people are claiming credit for them, please let me know.

You are free to use anything that’s considered interpretation (again, that’s romaji lyrics, translations, reviews, artist spotlights, and so forth) for any non-commercial purpose. It would be great if you could contact me before doing so; I would really appreciate hearing from you! Thanks for your understanding.
