Gendou.com is really a site out hang-out at, if ever that will be possible.
The site’s main aim is to be host to a huge collection of anime music which you can download for free provided you are a member; however you are encouraged to donate to the site in order to keep it going. The music section usually attaches to its contents lyrics not only in English, but in Romaji and Kanji as well, which are English phonetic transcription and Japanese characters respectively. There is also a video section, where you can download anime video series and episodes, plus a live radio, which you can listen live or browse the archive and choose what you want to listen to.
Gendou.com In Their Own Words
“What is the Open Lyrics Project and how does it work?
The Open Lyrics Project is a system which to allows any user to contribute and correct lyrics. The goal is to achieve quick, clean, easy access to lyrics information without relying on external websites (which often go 404). The lyrics may come from any source, and are reproduced under fair use. As a courtesy, the URL of the site where the lyrics were originally found is posted to give credit where due.
Some songs have no vocals, and thus no lyrics page. If you notice a song that has no lyrics, but still have a lyrics page, please let me know here.
All songs with vocals should have a lyrics page. There are 5 sections to every lyrics page:
Romaji should contain the original lyrics, even if they aren’t in Japanese, with the exception that the lyrics originally in English.
Kanji should contain the Japanese text version of the song lyrics, which may be translated into Japanese from the original language.
English should contain the English translation of the lyrics, or the original lyrics if they are in English.
Discuss should ONLY be used for translation discussion! Do not use the Discuss section to express your personal opinion as unrelated to translation, or to request lyrics be added or completed. When you make a change to the Discuss section, please leave “—-” next to your remarks, so your signature can be added.
History contains a log of all changes to the lyrics page you are viewing.
Due to the possibility for disagreement, and as with any wiki-like system, lyrics pages can be locked by staff. No changes can be made to a locked lyrics page. If there is an obvious error or missing lyrics on a locked lyrics page, please let me know here.”

Some Questions About Gendou.com
Although it is clearly a part of Anime aesthetic, the solid black and white design can be a bit bothering, plus turquoise and white Verdana type don’t add to it being any more sophisticated. Is there any way they can come up with a solution for this graphic clutter?
