Your Lie in April Japanese vocabulary: 60 words from the first episodes

A piano prodigy has stopped playing after his mother's death, but a free-spirited violinist draws him back to music. Music terms appear alongside gentle conversations about school life.

About 80% of the words below are JLPT N5–N4, so Your Lie in April is a friendly start if you know your kana and a little grammar.

How this list was made: we went through the Japanese subtitles of the first 3 episodes, reduced every word to its dictionary form, dropped names, sound effects and grammar particles, and kept the words that come up most. Each word has one short line from the show.

JLPT N5 35 words · the first words any course teaches

JLPT N4 13 words · still beginner territory

JLPT N3 7 words · intermediate

JLPT N2–N1 1 words · advanced

Show and story words 4 words · not on the JLPT lists, but this series leans on them
