ABOUT THIS SONG
About this song
Sing along with English modal verbs and related expressions.
Modal verbs have a regular place in an English sentence.
The basic pattern is simpler than you might expect.
The short Japanese phrases in the lyrics are memory cues; the meaning of a modal depends on the sentence.
LYRICS
Romaji helps you sing the Japanese words. English meaning explains them, rather than matching the tune.
Japanese wordplay and memory tricks may sound unusual in English—that’s part of the fun! The sound clues work in Japanese.
ō and ū mark long vowels (oo and uu). Original English lines are kept as written.
