KANJI
テレビを点けたら知らない人が世界平和を唄っている
不安の欠片さえもボクには無いのです

コーヒーこぼした残骸さえアートに見えるのなら
この歌にも何かを感じることもあるでしょう…

一ニのジャンプ！Hey!!
飛び越えたいだろ？ホントの答えはHey!!
向こう側にある 今だ！そこからジャンプ！Hey!!
ビビッときたらBelieve in your self!!

オキニのスニーカー擦り減らして言い訳浮かべながら
遠くを見つめてたら心が擦り減っていた…

一ニのジャンプ!Hey!!
明日はどうだろ？その他諸々はHey!!
言わせないでくれよ そんでそのままジャンプ!Hey!!
次から次へと Give me Give me your best!!

本気になれば俺もららら~♪
チャンスは何処かにある
スマホばかり見てたら通り過ぎていった…Hey!!

一ニのジャンプ!Hey!!
飛び越えたいだろ？ホントの答えはHey!!
向こう側にある 今だ！そこからジャンプ!!Hey!!
ビビッときてるよ きっとそんなものだろ
今から翔けろ 一ニのHey!!ジャンプ!

Believe in your self!!

ENGLISH
Turning on the TV, people I don't know sing about world peace
But all their bits of anxiety don't exist in me at all

If you think spilled coffee stains are like a piece of art
Then maybe you'll feel something in this song, too...

One, two, jump! Hey!!
Don't you wanna jump over? The real answer is... Hey!!
On the other side! Now then! From where you're standing, jump! Hey!!
When you're feeling scared, believe in yourself!!

As my favourite sneakers wore out, some explanation came to mind
The more I looked out into the distance, the more my heart wore out, too...

One, two, jump! Hey!!
What's tomorrow look like? Everything else is... Hey!!
It's not my place to say! So with the way you are now--jump! Hey!!
One after the other--give me, give me your best!!

If I become a little more serious, even I could... lalala~♪
Find some chance out there, somewhere
But if I keep my eyes on just my smartphone, everything'll pass me by... Hey!!

One, two, jump! Hey!!
Don't you wanna jump over? The real answer is... Hey!!
On the other side! Now then! From where you're standing, jump! Hey!!
I know you're feeling scared, but that's expected, isn't it?
Get ready to dash in--one, two, hey!! Jump!

Believe in yourself!

This is so overdue. Tomo described this song as a garage rock kind of song that he was crazy excited for, and I can see why. It was written by Taichi, but it seems so very much like something that'd come out of Tomo's mouth instead, haha. Except there's the mention of jumping out of your comfort zones, whereas most of Tomo's personal songs (as in the ones not written for TOKIO) so far are just "I'm happy with where I am, I don't need anything but this". :x

I'm finally doing Fragile's 7th episode! It'll come out some time tomorrow evening (it's currently 9:39 PM as I type this) for sure. And to those waiting on friend requests, I'm getting there! Good God, everything just piled up.

Thank you for the translation! I now need to listen to the actual song x3

I'm glad to hear you are still working on Fragile. I'm one of those waiting on friend requests haha, but I fear I might be low on the list. I hope you'll consider either making a comm or making the translation public again (if only for a short time). You've been buried in friend requests and messages for a looong time now it sounds like!

Hi! Oh man, I'm sorry for the delay. And I did think about those things, but I reeeeaaaaaally don't enjoy the thought of the editable softsubs being easily accessible? If that makes sense?

I could make it available for public download if I hardsub it, if people don't mind that. :x

[mangen-mangen.livejournal.com]

No problem, and I totally understand. Sometimes, the more I hear about inconsiderate people, the more my faith in society goes down :P

I'd be totally fine with hardsubs! I think many of us just want to understand the drama any way we can ;)

By the way, thanks to your previous subs and flailing, I've started noticing Nagase when he guests on something I'm watching (which sadly isn't as many as I'd like). He's growing on me A LOT ahaha. I kept staring at him during the Music Day performance XD

EDIT: Oh, just got the notification; thanks for adding me as a friend!

[kurokouchi.livejournal.com]

I might release hardsubs to the public when I finish the drama then, haha. Maybe on YouTube or something.

And oh man, I'm glad?? I've been a fan of Tomo since I was about 9 years old or so, and the guy's been my role model for... a lot of things. XD; So hey, it's nice to see more fans of him crop up! He's a brilliant actor, but I find his personal philosophies and musician side a lot more interesting. I can send you some subbed videos of his appearances at some point, if you're interested? :)

[mangen-mangen.livejournal.com]

Sure! I really liked the tensai one with the dogs :) So cute!

Hi Lance. Ohayou san. Thanks for sharing your translation.

Haha! This is definitely Tomoya. It's like Taichi was telling him to break out of his comfort zone. And I think he actually did with the radio show and all.

I love the "See you next time! BYE BYE!" at the last part of the song. So freaking cute!

I can totally imagine seeing him saying that with his hand waving crazily. :D

[kurokouchi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Tomo's comfort zone is actually really?? He's shyer than most people think and it's so precious. ;; The real loud and noisy one is freaking Mabo smh

AND I KNOW RIGHT?? I can't wait for this year's tour! I really hope they perform Jump live just so we can see Tomo bouncing around and being a general moron ;_;

[elimeten.livejournal.com]

Are they really gonna have a live tour this year? We've been waiting for so long already. Please, let it be this year. On the Music Day, Tomo said an outdoor live would be nice too. OMG. *prays to God*
