Each of the Japanese five vowels, transcribed here as a, i, u, e, o, has a more or less consistent sound as in Spanish: a as in "Ah", i as in "Hindi", u as in "Lu", e as in "Che (Guevarra)", o as in "paw".
Long vowels, aa, ii, uu, ee/ei, oo/ou, are distinguished from corresponding short ones in speech and in spelling, but not necessarily in songs.
Doubled consonants such as -nn-, -tt- are always longer than single ones, as in Italian.
