YouTube actually supports it through a feature called WebVTT [0], though it is rarely used, an example of it is this video [1] where it is used for placement and lighting up text for karaoke.

The actual code for it is looks like this:

  00:03:31.485 --> 00:03:31.719 align:start position:0% line:0%
  <c.color96D2D3>Hey! nanika ga okoru spe cial </c><c.colorFEFEFE>night</c>
  
  00:03:31.485 --> 00:03:31.719 align:start position:0% line:0%
  <c.color96D2D3>Hey! nanika ga okoru spe cial </c><c.colorFEFEFE>night</c>
  
  00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:32.486 align:start position:0% line:0%
  <c.color96D2D3>Hey! nanika ga okoru special  night</c>
  
  00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:32.486 align:start position:0% line:0%
  <c.color96D2D3>Hey! nanika ga okoru special  night</c>

Just a heads up for anyone who want to see the karaoke, set the CC language to Japanese.

Here's another good example: https://youtu.be/ddWJatRxfz8

And again, set language to Japanese.
