Japanese Singing Notation Marks?


Hi guys, I was watching a cover of a popular anime opening theme and in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3aosVMuDic) there is a lyric sheet that has various marks on it that I've never seen before. I took 6 years of voice training and to me they look like marks for singing inflection (capital letter emphasizing a sound, upward arrow to denote getting louder, squiggly line to denote vibrato, etc)

Does anyone know what this notation is called? I would love to learn more about it.
