I would love to learn 素晴らしき日常 by 高橋優, but I cannot catch every word in the song or read/reproduce the respective kanji (although displayed prominently in the 間中-titles, thanks a lot).

So I guess it would be less time-consuming for this and following songs to have the correct lyrics and study from there…

As you say, it’s possible to use Audacity to trim each part and put audio (L2) in the front card and subtitles (L2) in the back card. Using SRS in this way can be a sort of audio recognition training in your L2.

mix, match, etc these two
* sing or hum with, the whole song
* loop small sections 10-30 second bits and match the sounds

always do these two
* do it every day
* leave it when it’s fun

about lyrics:
Me, I can’t read first and sing every yet. So I just sing. Make the sounds of the song a reflex and then I can read and sing. I use the lyrics to help me clarify sounds, but sometimes they’re no help (typos, creative kanji readings).

Also, if you’re struggling please don’t blame the song or yourself…though that’s certainly easy, hehe. It’s the love of the idea inside you that inspires the energy to pursue your dream (like Peter Pan’s happy thought). So rather than struggle, think, feel, use intuition/imagination. Separate your mind from the illusion of reality and find the idea(s) that produces the love.

Happy hummin’ y’all

It also has a split feature which is particularly useful for music. From what I understand, Khatz, the way you do it seems like the audio created for your SRS are random 15-30 second clips. Which is why you suggest 5 seconds of overlap. The split feature in Audio Hijack is a lot more convenient, though, I think. Whenever I click “Split”, it creates a new file from that exact point. So as I’m listening to/hijacking a song from my iTunes, I click “Split” right before a lyric starts and right after it ends. This way I can have an audio file of a line (or entire stanza or whatever) in a perfectly packaged form. Now when I SRS with this audio file, I know it’s going to get right to the point of what I want to learn and also end promptly.

I just have the free demo version of Audio Hijack Pro which is all you will ever need if you’re using it for SRSing. The free version seems to give you all the features of the regular version, but it limits your hijacking to ten minutes at a time. Plenty of time for this kind of thing.

Also, I think khatz was implying that you would have multiple cards per audio clip to focus on short, discrete bits of info…So, even if you are listening to a song with a good bit of lyrics per sec, you can still break up what your focus on per card actually is

Getting lyrics wasn’t really where I was getting at, just the amount of words a rapper can rap inside of 30 seconds compared to that of a J-POP singer and whether it would be too much for a single SRS card, but all of that is irrelevant now. I experimented with some hip-hop already and even at 30 seconds a clip, its still a relatively small amount of text for each card.

Thanks again for this idea, Khatz. Applying this method to J-Hip-Hop is A-OK. 😀

Its like writing a novel. I’ve written four (really, really bad ones) and what I always hear is, “I have a great idea for a novel, if I just had time to write it.” As if the magical time fairy lived in my apartment or something… Its not like I didnt have a full time job, school, social life, etc when I wrote those, and the fourth was much, much much better than the first.

I think I need to apologize to some people I know. Some of them look longingly at the sheet I use to write missed SRS bits, which is filled with Japanese of varying sizes and arrangements. Every once in a while one asks me what something says, and when I tell them they’re like “Nice,” but now I know what they really meant was “You’ve ruined Japan for me.” My bad.

I’m about to try this idea with some hip-hop, so I just wanted to know if you could recommend any advice that would be relevant to this genre of music.
