Release history

Fixes missing Korean romanization in the main preview and OBS, and improves launcher update checks.

• Fixed Korean romanization appearing in the separate Lyrics window but not in the main preview or OBS after changing Reading Display (Preview + OBS).
• The launcher now checks again every 15 minutes, retries after a failed check, and automatically restores Korean romanization files omitted when upgrading from 2.0.2.0.
• Thought about life for a moment while Codex was working. I really want to get rich.

Adds unaccompanied performances and improves lyrics discovery, Japanese and Korean reading aids, and OBS setup.

• Added Unaccompanied Performance items for a cappella, self-accompanied, and other performances without a media file. They can end manually or after an optional planned duration and work with the queue, Now Singing, History, and project saving.
• Automatic lyrics lookup now shows LRCLIB results and YouTube captions together, so synchronized lyrics remain available even when captions are found first.
• Improved Korean caption identification and search ordering, and added Korean romanization with readable word spacing.
• Improved context-sensitive Japanese readings and the consistency and loading reliability of Japanese and Korean readings across the main view, Lyrics window, and OBS.
• Drag to OBS still supports direct dragging; clicking it now copies the Browser Source path for pasting into the OBS URL field.
• Hovering a truncated playlist name in the sidebar now shows its full name.
• Improved lyric display stability at song starts, instrumental gaps, and song changes.
• Played some League of Legends ARAM while Codex was working and lost terribly.

Adds an eight-step first-use guide and improves drag-and-drop, lyrics during instrumental gaps, and compatibility with older OBS versions.

• Added an eight-step first-use guide covering BGM setup, karaoke tracks, display names, the queue, overlay themes, starting a performance, synchronized lyrics, and sending lyrics to OBS.
• The guide can be reopened at any time from Help → First-use Guide.
• Local audio files and YouTube links can be dropped across the full BGM or karaoke target area instead of requiring an exact drop on the button.
• Improved guide highlights so every step points to the correct area of the interface.
• Lyrics no longer jump to the first metadata line during instrumental gaps. When another lyric follows, the display anchors to it without falsely marking it active.
• Improved theme compatibility with older OBS versions so transparent backgrounds and theme borders display correctly.
• Watched Netflix's “Bloody Smart” while Codex was working. It was kind of bad.

Improves rapid YouTube switching, playlist imports, and launcher recovery.

• Improved playback stability when switching rapidly between YouTube songs, preventing the wrong song from taking over.
• YouTube playback now retries automatically after a failure, reducing cases that require restarting the application.
• Playback state, the overlay's current song, and played-song history stay synchronized during rapid changes.
• Dropping a YouTube video while viewing a custom playlist now adds it to that playlist.
• {"Dropping a YouTube playlist offers four choices"=>"add all videos to the current playlist, create a new playlist, add only to All Songs, or cancel."}
• Improved connection stability for online lyrics searches.
• Improved automatic recovery when a launcher update fails or downloads incompletely.
• Existing users receive the launcher update automatically through the updated main application.
• Scrolled through a lot of Chiikawa while Codex was working.

Improves playback reliability, lyrics usability, and visual consistency.

• Improved an issue where some YouTube links could stop playing until the application was restarted.
• Improved song-title detection for some YouTube links.
• Improved an issue where song-list overlays could show a black background in some OBS environments, preserving transparent themes.
• Added Simplified and Traditional Chinese lyrics conversion with language-aware defaults; Japanese kana remain unchanged.
• Lyrics timing controls, visible-line controls, and the detached lyrics window are clearer and more stable.
• Dialogs and secondary windows consistently use the application's dark appearance.
• Practiced guitar for a while while Codex was working.

Adds automatic launcher updates through the main application and improves recovery after failures.

• The main application can update the launcher automatically in the background.
• Launcher-update progress uses the existing dark bottom status area without a second confirmation dialog.
• Failed launcher replacement or configuration updates roll back safely and retry on a later launch.
• Ate a pudding while Codex was working. It was great.

The first stability and usability update after version 2.0.0.0.

• Improved BGM fade-out and karaoke transition coordination.
• Improved speed, pitch, seeking response, and playback stability.
• Improved lyrics offset controls, live synchronization, scrolling, and line seeking.
• Expanded lyrics typography, spacing, reading, and surrounding-line controls.
• Added Hiragana plus Romaji reading mode.
• Improved animated theme previews and the appearance of built-in themes.
• Standardized numeric inputs, button sizes, and interaction hints, and improved translations.
• Improved the bottom status area to make BGM and karaoke automation visible.
• Watched a lot of cat videos while Codex was working.
