lw-japanese Audit report.

The Japanese language layer for lyric writing (日文词的モーラ与符割り). The counting unit is the mora, not the kana or the syllable - the small tsu, the moraic n and the long vowel each take a beat, a palatalized pair takes one; one kana per note is the default, and the same melody remaps itself when the words change; every word carries a pitch-accent contour, and a melody that fights it gets the line heard as a different sentence; fuwari, the mapping of kana to notes; bunsetsu segmentation and where a line may break; ji-amari and ji-tarazu as deliberate mismatch; the four ways to fix a melody when the counts do not fit; why Japanese rhyme is weak and how shichigo-cho slips in unnoticed; the lyrics-first and music-first routes; and the iron rule for English words inside a Japanese song. Use when writing or checking Japanese lyrics, fitting kana to an existing melody, counting morae, when a sung line is misheard as another word, or when the words will not sit on the notes. 日文作词、日语歌词、モーラ、拍数、符割り、字余り
