Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I listen to a lot of Japanese music, but I don't know Japanese.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to use this app to look up romaji or translated lyrics. VocaDB seems to be the best place to find them for Vocaloid songs. The same goes for Vocaloid covers on UtaiteDB and Touhou songs on TouhouDB.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The current sources in the app only have Japanese lyrics

Additional context
I use beets to manage my music collection (and Syncthing to sync it with my phone). I already forked a beets plugin that obtains metadata from Vocadb and derivates including lyrics. It's written in Python, but maybe it could still be useful as a reference. While I can use beets to get the lyrics, it would be much more convenient with an app on my phone.
