Well i was trying to find japanese lyrics, romaji or kana for Animetal and Anthem but since im posting this here i had no luck, could someone perhaps tell me where could i find the lyrics of these artists or perhaps some major lyrics database (unfortunately i couldn't find much on darklyrics) where i might be able to find what i seek. Thank you.

The main reason you cannot find lyrics of Japanese songs is the copyright issue - both melodies and lyrics are protected by JASRAC.
JASRAC
To publish (this means not only in print but also on the net) lyrics, permisson by JASRAC is required.

なつかしい童謡・唱歌・わらべ歌・寮歌・民謡・歌謡
Here is a website which is a collection of Japanese songs who got the license by JASRAC (thus not illegal) - mostly children's songs and folk songs, the number of popular songs are very much limited and they are rather old ones... and I'm afraid no anime songs.
They are written in kana and kanji, so it might be a little difficult for you to search for the songs of your taste.
Most lyrics are presented with melody. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Thank you, thank you. Well since i have 3 year olds knowledge of japanese language i guess children's songs fit me a bit better
About a different topic, i checked your blog, and i thought i could help you with hungarian if you needed help, although im not a hungarian language teacher, im not even a teacher i think i still can help, its the least i can do. So feel free to ask anything.

I'm glad if the website of Japanese songs is of some help.

And thank you for your kind offer, I do have a lot of difficulties - I need hours to write a simple entry in Hungarian which would takes me a few minutes if it is in Japanese or English, and it takes quite a long time to read and understand the comments some kind people left...
Since this is English based forum on Japan and Japanese things, I'll send you PM to ask you for help. Thank you again.

Perhaps if you had msn or something i could send you scanned hungarian books and whatnot.
