Hey! Say! JUMP - Puppet - Fab! - Music Speaks
Hello again, here I am with a song I wanted to post because I love it deeply and I was just lazy to write my posts, but I enjoyed a lot trying to work on this song, here's the result~
So, lately, I've been able to have these posts with a YT insert! Isn't that fab! lol, okay, here's the lyrics short YT version, it's amazing, I loved it from the first listening!
Click to viewOne of the composers has worked with JUMP before in the song Jealous guy. I remember they released the lyrics PV right after the announcement of the name of the album. I got kanji from here. There's no reason at all why this took me so long, I mean to post this translation, either way, I'll be talking about lyrics a little on the notes, because I LOVE them.

Spinning, moving my soul 動き出した歯車に合わせ
衝動衝撃の合間を縫えば 夢現(うつ)つの世界光が射す
右手左手 交互に確かめた感覚は Unknown
心にグルグル巻き付けられた糸を解(ほぐ)して
愛なる魔法でアブラカタブラ
メラメラ燃えたぎる勇気や希望
その他諸々の感情 Illogical
呼吸 胸に 行き渡れば 生きる証 刻み込んで
「この声聴こえてる？」
Just started
全てがまるで奇跡の積み重ねの偶然 それは必然
ドメスティックでサイケデリックなBGMで踊る
喜びと相反する悲しみと 共存 共鳴
なんだか面倒くさそうな
だけど愛おしいような

Ta la la ta Ta ta ta ta ta ta

Stop, be careful 甘い蜜に潜む民
気付けば抜け出せない日常が いつの間にか当たり前になって
右目左目 映り込む景色は涙で彷徨(さまよ)う
どこでどうなってこうなって嫌になって
逃げ出して嘘ついて間違えて繰り返して
それでも始まりに戻る事なんてないのが人生さ
言葉 声に 出してはらう 憂う気持ち 上書きして

泥をかぶって生き抜く力磨く

想いのまま 思いのまま
自分の意志で Towers the future

Spinning, moving my soul according to the gear that started to move
If you weave between the impact of the impulses
the light of the world shines among dream and reality
Between right hand, left hand, a feeling that I've checked one after the other
Untangling the string wrapped around your heart
with a loving magical Abracadabra
The burning flames of courage and hope
and all the other emotions are illogical
Breathing into your lungs, if it fills your chest, it's an engraved proof of being alive
"Can you hear this voice?"
(It) Just started
And everything is like an accumulation of fortuitous miracles. That's certain
Dancing at a domestic psychedelic BGM
Sadness that conflicts with joy, coexistence, and resonance
somehow it seems troublesome
however I kind of love it
Wow oh oh oh oh...
Ta la la ta Ta ta ta ta ta ta
Tha story of my
La la la la la la...
Love Love Love
Stop, be careful, people lurking in the sweet nectar [trap, trap, trap]
before they notice it becomes ordinary, and they hardly realize there's no escape from daily routine
Right eye and left eye, a reflected scenery wander lost in tears
Where? How this happened? I hate this happened
running away, lying, making mistakes, and repeating it again and again
nevertheless, life never goes back to the beginning
Let's put it into words, addressing the feelings of concern
(It) Just started
And everything is like an accumulation of fortuitous miracles. That's certain
Dancing at a domestic psychedelic BGM
Sadness that conflicts with joy, coexistence, and resonance
somehow it seems troublesome
however I kind of love it

La la la la la la...
Love Love Love
Right foot, left foot, with all your strength
To stay forever beautiful is just sugar-coated nonsense
while covered with mud improve your strength to survive
Puppet detached from other people's expectations
As you wish, as you please
with your own determination tower the future
"It's not over yet, it starts here"

[T/N]:
Why do I love this song so much? The music is amazing, I love when they sing super fast and their voices here, also I love the lyrics, the meaning, I'll be completing this in a sec, I'm going for a walk to keep me sane. gomen!
So, let's see, I'm kind of troubled about the voices,... I even looked for blogs from fans and there were parts inconclusive lol, I'm really doubtful, I hear a lot of Yuto...
- Since this album is based on the intention to present songs with fairy-tale motifs, you can get an idea of what this song is making reference to. But I find the approach super interesting.
- The first stanza starts with Takaki, and there's so little of him in this song~ that I can recognize clearly, haha, the first stanza presents us the setting, like something that's starting, oh, and later is Yuto's voice, lower than he normally sings and it suits him!
- And this makes me think about becoming a person, lol, and checking your hands, now it's you the one controlling them, and this pattern repeats later, and it's amazing because it provides this strong visual and helps with the fast rhythm of the song. This part is sung by YabuHika ~
- Next, we have a super-fast rap by Dai-chan, he's really good, I love his voice. This part is interesting I like to see it as becoming aware of emotions that feel like burning in your heart.
- I'm not sure who sings the next part, I kind of hear Chinen, but I don't know who else...maybe Yama-chan or Yutti...to me it sounds more like Yama-chan...either way this part is so amazing, like filling your lungs with air makes you aware of being alive~ Am I mostly repeating the lyrics, yes! because I love them
- Oh and next it's a more than sang a spoken part and it's by Inoo-chan, he got all those lines, that's kind of sad 'cause I like how his voice sounds with this particular effect they use here
- Next, it's the chorus or the part that repeats across the song, and it's full of rhythm and we got the usual pattern of dividing JUMP into groups, and although it's usually BEST/7, this time according to what I found is the taller/shorter lol, sorry for choosing that way to describe it ~
This part is especially interesting with the 'psychedelic BGM' lol, but the first part makes me remember a line from Takaki in I-don't-remember-which-JUMP's previous song, LOL, but it's nice to have miracles, right?
- Next, it's Yama-chan singing about something sweet, well, in his characteristic mellow voice, followed by Yabu's part. This stanza felt super significant to me, life is not just about enjoying the nice parts
- And we have the eyes reference by Chinen + Inoo, I'm sure about Inoo-chan here. And I don't know it felt too real, like when your eyes are full of tears
- Next part is super fast and I'm sure it has Hika-chan at the end... and Yuto? at the beginning? It's frustrating, I'm talking about life, lol, sometimes
- Who's singing the short following part? I like the advice though
And we move to the chorus once more, and this time, they changed again the parts I think. And I didn't mention before, but the part when they contrast joy to sadness, right after there are two words, 'coexistence and resonance' in the translation, but in Japanese, they are more similar, they share the same first kanji, with the meaning of 'together', existing together and resonating as in being sympathetic with each other, or having resonance. Which is kind of acknowledging the co-existence and co-interaction of sadness and joy, and that was not conveyed in the translation, sorry
- And my favorite part! This is a YutoYama pair of stanzas, and they sound amazing, first Yuti with the foot part now, and the lyrics! I'm sorry if I didn't get the right meaning here, but this was the result after trying many times to word this, and I kind of like the result, the images the lyrics, I'm really impressed by this part
Next, it's Yama-chan's part, really high, and here the theme of the song is kind of unveiled and I love it like they're talking about someone who was reduced to a puppet by following other people's expectation of them.
- And to finish we have a little spoken part by Inoo-chan and the chorus, again, they change the groups' division, and that's the end of the song, it's 3' 25'', really short but since they sing so fast the lyrics are actually long~
As usual, I'm sorry about my mistakes and errors in both languages, I just love fast singing and this rhythm but later when checking the lyrics this song talked to me on another level, maybe, again, this is a theme I feel connected to... it resonates with my heart somehow, that's why I enjoyed it so much. This song is talking about LIFE, that's it, I could have written that, but how could I? and avoid my posts to take hours to write? No way, lol, this is why I'm tired after finishing to post one song!!
The concept for this album is so great, it looks like they put a lot of thoughts into it, I love the album songs, they're so interesting and they're very varied. I love many of them, and I probably will pick another one. Even though I think it was already translated by many, but it's such a great song, oh and I'll have another YT video, lol. Let's see, about this album, my favorite ones are, besides singles, actually, I only love 'I am' and maybe 'Your song', first, 狼青年 this song is amazing, the dancing, the hoodies, the MV, it was a very different way to present the group, amazing dance too, btw. Puppet is amazing, and you could read why in this post lol. And 闇の先へ僕らは歩き出す, actually, this would be the usual song that I would pick to translate, actually, it reminds me of the one I translated from the previous album, PARADE, a very beautiful ballad, Dai-chan has amazing solo-parts.
About the rest, 千夜一夜 is nice, Snow White is a great ballad with amazing Yabu's voice :D and Inoo-chan doesn't sound bad. Lair and Mantra are really catchy and it's like a new sound for them, at least that's what I think. Oh, and I like Fab-ism, it's the perfect start for this album. Well, it's hard to tell, but I think I like this album more than the previous one, it has amazing new sounds and songs I wouldn't call as typical of JUMP's sound and the thematic is great, you can feel it through the whole album.
Ok! That was it! I'm wanting to watch a couple of doramas now that I have a little more time, I'm loving Tama-chan's dorama! I like the interaction between Nanao and Mone, it's really funny! and Nanao's pronunciation in her English speech was really good! I really can't tell about her French, I'm as lost as Mone there lol. I also watched the first episode of Toma's one, it was interesting, I like his character, I love Fuma's character, lol, I wonder how they'll keep Toma under pressure for all the dorama lol! I haven't checked Tachon's yet, but the theme doesn't call me that much~ I think I'll check Mitsu and Shori's one ... and SZ's song on that one sounds great~
