A video-song accompaniment apparatus displaying a lyrics signal sequence in accordance with an accompaniment signal sequence includes a controller responsive to lyrics display control information which is loaded on a channel message of a selected instrument of the accompaniment information. The lyrics display control information has a display flag for instructing output of the lyrics for a next measure by a lyrics signal generator, a color conversion flag permitting successive conversion of the characters of a lyrics signal sequence output by the lyrics signal generator from one color to another, and an erasure flag for instructing erasure of the previously-displayed lyrics output by the lyrics signal generator. Preferably, the display of the lyrics signal sequence is controlled according to the lyrics display control information read out of an accompaniment information memory by the controller during reproduction. The video-song accompaniment apparatus permits generation of the lyrics signal sequence in synchronization with an accompaniment signal sequence by controlling the lyrics display using a channel message of a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) signal.
