Love an anime opening but can't read the lyrics? Now you can. Open any Japanese song from your Apple Music library and read along — with romaji, kana hints above the kanji, and English meanings under every line. Built for beginners — no prior Japanese needed. New: a tap-along mode that gently loops the line when you fall behind. Tap on a song you already love, and start learning! 1. Play along, learn along: Each line brings you a study card, featuring a Japanese phrase/ vocabulary 2. Beginner Friendly: Furigana over kanji, with romaji support 3. For serious learners: Professional study notes included HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple: no separate account. 2. Connect Apple Music. Kashikan scans your library to find Japanese songs. 3. Pick a song to play. When you play the song, cards advance with the music, or swipe to jump anywhere! KANA REFERENCE A grid of hiragana and katakana is always one tap away from any study card. Both scripts shown side-by-side for the same sound, with romaji underneath — useful when you hit a character you don't recognize mid-listening.
