Apple Music Pronunciation

I Don't Care lyrics with katakana pronunciation Southern All Stars' Tsunami lyrics with romaji

Was playing music in Apple Music today and, to surprise, I saw pronunciation for an Ed Sheeran song in…katakana? Woah, when did this show up?

Of course, I had to check out J-pop and Cantopop songs too, and, ’lo and behold, pronunciation in the English alphabet! This is perfect for this ABC/multi-lingual karaoke-loving freak!

Looks like I’m gonna be spending some time karaoke’ing some songs. Cover your ears.
