[Request] Asian lyrics & translation source suggestions

[Ken7600]

Hi! First of all, great work on Rush — especially the LRCLIB integration and overall lyrics UX.
I wanted to suggest a few optional sources that could significantly improve J-pop / C-pop / K-pop coverage, especially for translations and synced lyrics:

1. Mojim (魔鏡歌詞網) – Unsynced lyrics
   Great coverage for J-pop and C-pop
   Much deeper Japanese catalog than Genius (anime, vocaloid, indie)
   Often includes romaji / kana / Chinese translations best for romanji and kana for japanese songs
   Best suited as an unsynced fallback

2. UtaNet (歌ネット) — Unsynced lyrics one of the largest and most authoritative Japanese lyric databases one of the most trusted and publisher-backed Japanese lyric databases
   Extremely strong coverage for mainstream J-pop, anime, OSTs, and older songs
   Often used as a reference source for official Japanese lyrics
   Best suited as a primary unsynced J-pop source

3. Utaten (うたてん) (optional) — Unsynced lyrics
   Another large Japanese lyrics site with good coverage of modern J-pop and anime
   Complements UtaNet well when one source is missing a song
   Useful as a secondary J-pop fallback

4. KuGou – Synced lyrics one of the strongest databases for high-quality LRC sync Very good coverage for C-pop, J-pop, and K-pop Often more accurate timing than LRCLIB for Asian tracks
   Sometimes provides synced translations as separate files

5. Netease Cloud Music (optional fallback) Good balance of synced + translated lyrics
   Especially useful when LRCLIB / KuGou have no results strong coverage for Chinese music and Japanese releases

These could follow a similar client-side / optional approach to the existing lyrics sources, if that fits the project.

One possible source order (just an idea):
Synced lyrics:
– LRCLIB
– KuGou
– Netease

Unsynced / translations:

• UtaNet (JP)
• Utaten (JP)
• Mojim (JP / CN)
• Genius (KR / EN)

I think this would really benefit users who listen to a lot of Asian music just sharing this in case it’s useful totally understand if it doesn’t fit the project.

Reference links for context (informational; may be region-restricted):
UtaNet: https://www.uta-net.com
Utaten: https://utaten.com
Mojim: https://mojim.com
Netease Cloud Music: https://music.163.com
KuGou: https://www.kugou.com

UtaNet and Mojim are simple HTML sources and relatively easy to scrape.
NetEase and KuGou don’t offer public APIs but have well-known, community-documented endpoints used by existing lyrics tools, so they could be considered optional or later additions

Thanks! I'll look into this
