In textual conversations in English, one might write “I’m sooooo excited for
the concert tonight!” or similar statements where typically a vowel is
repeated for the sake of “exaggerated emphasis.” Is there a similar method for
displaying this sort of thing in Japanese? For instance, the above phrase is
translated (via google) to “今夜のコンサートにとても興奮しています!” Varying the number of Os
doesn’t seem to impact the output. How would one represent this?

question
emphasis
How would you write exaggerated emphasis?
You can do basically something similar to English.

「今夜のコンサートがすごーく楽しみです！」(I think this is a slightly more natural phrasing)

You can also use すっごく or すんごく (and honestly I think this way is more common in
this particular situation). とても can be emphasized as とっても.

You can also add in more, like すんんごく楽しみ or よーーーくわかる, but this may start to
look a little silly.

You sometimes see people use katakana to emphasise 今夜のコンサートメッチャ楽しみしているsuch as
in the title of this random video
