I think the only reason you can't is that they purposely disable it. You can sometimes view page source and copy/paste the lyrics from there, and there are probably firefox addons etc. that would allow you to, but I just look for the lyrics on a different site when I find one like that.

Id be interested to hear if anyone has a good site for lyrics as well as movie scripts as well. Ive tried kitsunekko.net but they seem to deal strictly with Japanese produced anime. Just putting it out there.

This is the site I always use for lyrics, primarily because I listen to a lot of J-pop from the 80s, and this site has everything I want.

That site, while very popular, still blocks simple copy and paste actions. For lyrics in Japanese, I second pudding cat's recommendation of http://j-lyric.net/ . Note that the site blocks 'right click' but not CTRL-C. This is what I usually use for lyrics in iTunes.

For lyrics entirely in kana use http://www.lyricstime.com (romaji only) and copy and paste into this site's converter http://www.whiteagle.net/ . Select something like 12pt font and be sure to manually type in 'w's and 'h's to convert your ’お’ｓ and ’え’s to ’を’ｓ and ’へ’ｓ(if necessary). The output will be corrected as you edit.

If you want furigana too, copy and paste the results from http://j-lyric.net/ into this site's converter http://nihongo.j-talk.com/kanji/ and select 'furigana', 'top' and 'hiragana by default'. With a little trimming and editing (for unusual readings) of the resulting html page, you can make nice printouts of the lyrics for karaoke!

You can't copy from there directly because the lyrics are not text but images inside a Flash container (or at least the ones I've checked). So, for that website, only a screen capture OCR would work — but first I'd recommend trying to find the lyrics elsewhere. Other sites usually block the copy using Javascript, which is much easier to circumvent.

I just did a blog post here on how to get the text of the copy-protected Japanese lyrics. In short, there are some sites that are probably based outside of Japan from which you can easily copy and paste. Others are a bit more challenging, but a screen shot + optical character recognition will handle even the trickiest, although you probably won't ever need to go that far.

I have never had to OCR a lyric. Try turning off javascript, and if the text can be selected, try using ctrl-C. (Just because 'copy' is grayed out on the right click menu doesn't always mean copy is disabled... ) and of course, using an html/javascript debugger plugin can sometimes show the fetched text even when show source doesn't. If it got bad enough, I'd snoop my own html session with Ethereal before I'd OCR a screen shot.
