Hi! Today I don't want to write much, making this one of those rare posts in which there's no much to say but I'm not sure if that will be the case (=^_^=), lol. Either way, I wanted to post this since the moment I first listened to this song, I fell in love with it. So, into the cut
So, the release is on the 26th, which is already happening in Japan, I think. I sort of like the stylized name of the album, I/O. So, this song is called H.our Time, and the music was composed by Keito and the lyrics by all the members. This song actually reminded me of 5x10, especially in the Arigatou part. I wasn't around when it happened (T-T) but I can get the cuteness and meaning on this. So, then, here's my try, and remember, I'm really sorry about any mistakes, I'm really not good at this. I got the kanji from a pic on Twitter, but you can also find it
here.

H.Our time
te o toriatte omoi o kasanete
shiawase ga tsudzuku yō ni
our time
H.our Time (English)
Holding hands, sharing the same feelings,
hoping our happiness continues.
Our time
Without knowing a thing, we started walking ahead
when the precious place, where we belong now, was born
a seed without growth, without knowing our place
struggling with troubles, becoming withered, and finally sprouting.
Just the ones who were there, from our own dark worlds
Just the ones who stayed by our side, who taught us the meaning of moving forward
When it comes to the unknown, we trust in our road
because we have reliable reasons here
our voices are always intertwined
facing towards our dream.
The light that we can see ahead is pulling us forward
the hopes that we thought with you, we are delivering to you now.
Forever and ever, with our hearts as one, with a promise of happiness
we won't forget, so don't you forget it, okay?
about the path that we've traced together.
Your happiness of every day is our source of encouragement
spreading our wings, that's how we can fly
Our time
Honestly speaking, there were times during these 10 years that were different from our ideals
it's frustrating to look back at them, surely it wasn't supposed to be like that.
I want to turn these insecurities into self-confidence
and this time, climb over this big wall
We think of us as friends that support each other, affirming tightly our tie.
That day we decided to Jump to our dreams
We hoped our Dreams to come true
the 09.24, with tears, may the flowers bloom again
Surely, surely, to an achievable future
with more and more dreams ahead
always, always, with these members
Don't say goodbye. We won't say goodbye from now on
because we won't let go our intertwined hands
holding the grasp tightly.
Even if we're walking on different paths
We are still connected.
A life accepting joy and sorrow
our happiness is hidden in our dreams.
Together. Let's walk together.
The secret place of our love is right here
Our future is an unwavering close relationship
We can be proud because you're here
Were we able to transmit that?
as we sing it's charged in this song, will it reach you?
"Thank you"
Thank you until now, and thank you for what comes next
We hope this feeling will reach your hearts.
I hope we can always keep on smiling like this, with our hearts as one
We won't forget, so don't you forget, okay?
the story that we wrote together.
Holding hands, sharing the same feelings
hoping our happiness to continue.
It's Our time
[T/N]: This is, again, a bit away from a literal translation, I find the lyrics so sweet and I wish I could know which part belongs to whom, meaning who wrote which. There are some references to other songs, like Jump to dream or Dreams come true and I think my favorite one is ai no arika, which is one of Ryosuke's parts. Also the date, I think it's their debut date, right? It's on the lyrics.
I've highlighted some parts because I liked how it turned out in English or how they sounded vocally. About the vocals, I really liked Yuya and Daiki's ones because they sounded great. Also Yabu's <3 and YabuHika.
About my favorite part... actually, I think is all YabuHika's part. I really find it super easy to recognize Yabu's voice and I really like it, and after working in one of Ya-Ya-Yah's songs, the hands part reminded me of "Te wo tsunaide yukou", which is odd.
But my pride would be to have guessed right the colored lyrics! Am I wrong? Where? I really like the stanzas with BEST and SEVEN's parts. I was dubious in many parts plus it took me forever to put the colors in a way it won't kill the eye so much.
Edit: Well, I was right in most of the verses, I'll leave here a cute images found in this tweet, but I think she deleted it 'cause I can't find it anymore, either way I like her comments, I also thought that the stanza about different ways was referring to 10-member-JUMP. Other comments are that the H is Hey Say Jump, our is the members+fans; the guy of the arrangement is the same as in 5x10 (talking about resemblances); and some references to songs I was lazy to search; * she was also excited about YabuHika part *.
but the right answer I think is
here, I can't explain myself how can she/he figure out who's singing with Inoo, I knew it wasn't just him but who was is just beyond me.
But either way, I picture this song with them holding hands in concert, singing to the fans. I hope fans can find this song a real blast during their 10th-year celebration tour.
That was it, I really enjoyed a lot translating this song, I guess I'm a softie at <3
Aren't there a lot of anniversaries going on on the Jhonnys? Either way, this is such a cute and emotional song for fans. I'm really fond of these kids, for some reason, I really hope they can continue their journey, I'm sure there's much ahead. Good luck.
PS: I laughed a lot at Hika-nyan
PS1: pics from weibo and the Internet, I guess, actually I don't have much pics from the 9 or 10 of them...
Today, I have yet another lyric, let's see if I can post it too.
Ten years YEAH!
