When is katakana used to write words that are typically written in hiragana? From what I have seen it can be used for emphasis. I was reading the lyrics of a song and they write "ソレ” instead of "それ”. The full line reads "歪なソレが美しく見えたんだ " Is this just done for emphasis? Or is it for readability? Or some other reason?
