Japanese song titles are not shown in Japanese.

Is there a way to allow the music to be shown in the original language as opposed to romanji?

Thanks!

Hey @yimmyme 

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I believe it has been suggested before. It isn't something we're actively working on right now but it's a good idea, for sure.

So I'll be forwarding your comments to the right teams here at Deezer. Once we get through our hurdles this year, this is something we could be looking to explore! :relaxed:

Please allow us to do that, I don’t think it’s hard to do.

Actually I would like to propose middle ground. It would be much better for the user to be able to select whether they want to see lyrics in original language or with English letters (like romaji for Japanese). In my case I have some Hindi songs in my playlists but unfortunately their lyrics show only in original alphabet which I obviously cannot even read, and therefore cannot sing along, thus for those I would prefer to have at least the option to turn them to English letters version. It should be a switch option on the lyrics page at the top where we can instantly switch between original alphabet and English one.

Yes, you can typically change the language settings in your music player or streaming service to display song titles in their original Japanese script instead of romanized characters (romaji).
