How do I perform a search?
1.
Go to the Database section of the site and you
will see an empty search form.
2. Next Pick which category to search. Solo Artist, Group, or Song
3. Next Choose the Direction of the Translation. If you know the Kanji
and want to see the Romaji, select Japanese to Romaji. If you know the
Romaji and want to see the Kanji choose Romaji to Japanese.
4. Enter what you know into the search box. The case of the letters does
not matter.
5. Results appear below the search area.
6. Click Select to the
Left
of the Result you want to see more
detailed information.
7. When you are done with the current search, Click New Search to
perform another search.
How do I enter Kanji into the search box?
If you have a Windows Operating System(i.e. Vista, XP, 2000..etc) then
check out this
guide by
Declan which explains the process of supporting Japanese on your
computer.
If you have Linux then you can install SCIM-anthy for Japanese support.
Check this
page
for a
guide.
Alternatively you can simply copy the kanji from some other source and
paste it into the search box.
How do I search for both artists and songs at the
same time?
Searching for an artist will show the songs from the artists. But if you
don't know what you are searching for then you will need to search for
both.
In order to provide more accurate results, (and make it easier on me)
you cannot search for both at the same time. Please do a search for one
then try again with the other.
What if I do not get the results I
expect?
The primary reason may simply be that the information is not in the
database yet. Information is being entered constantly but it is still a
relatively new database and will take a while to properly populate.
Otherwise you may want to check spelling and check possible alternative
spellings for the artist or song title. If on the other hand you notice
an error in the database, please fill out this short form in order to
correct the data. Any help will be appreciated.
Not all of an Artist's songs are listed? Should
I add them?
The main purpose of this database is to help in transliteration
of Kanji to Romaji. Not as a discography. Therefore if a song title is
already in Romaji there is no need to have it in the database.
