Hey! Say! JUMP - Tokimeki wa Uso Janai
Hi!! So, on my random and out of the blue comments, which happen to pop up on google searches, lol, this is my own way of living! lol, either way, I was freaking out yesterday because my dentist is working in one of my teeth and I panicked when part of the temporary thing she put inside just came off when brushing my teeth. The following day was labor day so I hardly ate but today she said, like 'it's okay, it's sealed'... okay... if she says so... it still feels like a crater in my mouth... I hate going to the dentist!!
Sorry for the creepy info shared, it's so scary, right? Either way, the other day I was complaining because I didn't get to try one of the songs in this double single(?) from JUMP, from which I love Yutti's dorama song and this one, and I picked to try this one because we need an encouraging song, I need something like this, okay? I love the whole concept in the jackets...lights! always right.
I got lyrics from here this time, since in that page, the 3 stanzas that are repeated are included. The lyricist for this song is Yukimaru Kumaki, the vocalist of Lucky Kilimanjaro, you can listen more on their music here. I think it's nice having someone with different styles to work with them. Now, I'm sorry about probable and possible mistakes, I'm still learning and probably always will, so gomen!

ときめきは嘘じゃない
Lyricist：熊木幸丸
Composer：熊木幸丸
震える足元、夜に飲み込まれそうになっても
大丈夫 君は踊れる
目の前に暗い雲が覆いかぶさってきても
大丈夫 君は歌える
ぼやけた蜃気楼 遠く見えない明日(あす)でも
大丈夫 君は歩ける
さまよう霧の中 行き先がわからなくても
大丈夫 君は笑える
正解はわからないけど
ここに絶対はないけど
このときめきは嘘じゃない
だから歌ってよ 君らしく
未来はわからないけど
ここに絶対はないけど
この情熱は嘘じゃない
だから踊ってよ 君らしく
はじめは上手じゃなくても
思いつきで踊ってよ
この愛は嘘じゃない
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
未来はわからないけど
ここに絶対はないけど
このときめきは嘘じゃない
だから踊ってよ 君らしく
踊ってよ 君らしく
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
走り疲れて
息が切れそうでも 僕ら
また新しい朝日を
夢見て 夢見て 夢見て
光へ手を伸ばす
その手をつよく伸ばして
正解はわからないけど
ここに絶対はないけど
このときめきは嘘じゃない
だから歌ってよ 君らしく
未来はわからないけど
ここに絶対はないけど
この情熱は嘘じゃない
だから踊ってよ 君らしく
はじめは上手じゃなくても
思いつきで踊ってよ
この愛は嘘じゃない
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
未来はわからないけど
ここに絶対はないけど
このときめきは嘘じゃない
だから踊ってよ 君らしく
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
だから笑ってよ 君らしく
だから笑ってよ 君らしく

This throwbing isn't a lie
Lyricist：Yukimaru Kumaki
Composer：Yukimaru Kumaki
With trembling steps and even if it looks like you're about to be engulfed by the night
it's okay, you can dance.
If dark clouds cover your eyes,
it's okay, you can sing.
Even if the distant tomorrow you can't see is but a blurred mirage,
it's okay, you can walk.
While wandering in the middle of this fog, even not knowing where to go
it's okay, you can laugh.
If you don't know which is the right answer
because nothing is certain here,
your throbbing heart is no lie,
so sing it, in your own way.
Although you don't know the future
and there's nothing certain here,
this passion is not a lie,
so dance, in your own way.
Even if you're not so good at first,
dance as you feel it.
This love is not a lie,
so laugh, in your own way.
Although you don't know about the future
and there's nothing certain here,
this passion is not a lie
so dance, in your own way.
Come on, dance, in that way of yours.
So laugh, being yourself.
So laugh, being yourself.
Tired of running
even out of breath, we
can still dream about, dream about, dream about
a new morning sun.
Reaching for the light with our hands,
reaching strongly with your hand.
Even if you don't know the right answer
and there's nothing certain here,
your throbbing heart is not a lie,
so, come on, sing, in that way of yours.
Although you don't know about the future
and there's nothing certain here,
this passion is not a lie,
so dance, in your own way.
Even if you're not so good at first,
dance as you feel it.
This love is not a lie,
so laugh, in your own way.
Although we don't know about the future
and there's nothing certain here,
This passion is not a lie
so dance, in your own way.
Come on, laugh, being yourself
Come on, laugh, being yourself
Come on, laugh, being yourself
Come on, laugh, being yourself

Okay, first of all pronouns were so hard! and later, well, it's the thing I always do, the phrase that I keep changing even if it's the same in Japanese haha, sorry!
- First, I want to point out that the only part with the 'kimi' pronouns is when she's asked to dance, laugh and walk? The rest, well, I didn't want to leave the second person because the song is about love, about passion and being in love with someone...although it could be about being in love with something, like life itself... well... either way, this is the way it ended... but then I changed all pronouns again and I think I left only one or two first-person plural pronouns... This is my best try with pronouns at the moment, it's just that it bothers me to use the plural when she's the only one to dance! lol, but at one point there's the 'we' so...?
- Second, 君らしく I love this expression but I never know how to phrase it in English, these were some of my tries: like you do/in that way that's so typical of you/in your own style/as you wish/in your own way/like yourself/being yourself/seem like yourself/as you are. But one of my favorites was 'in that way of yours', maybe it's because English not being my native tongue... or me being so fan of this phrase... I don't know, the result is me using the less amount of these possible, I definitely tried, so I'll take that as a positive sign.
- The use of 絶対 got me thinking, I'm so used to see it like an adverb that thinking of it as a noun was difficult, lol. I did a lot of changes to this and ended posting this way later than I wanted~
- And there were like two cases in which I changed the order, just because of English... the one with the mirage because I thought it sounded better, and the one with the 'dreaming of a new morning'.
That's it, I think, I like this song, basically, because I like the music; it's repetitive but I like that the repetition just encourages you in some way, it reminds me to laugh even now when I don't know about the future and nothing is certain in life!! Preparing classes is so frustrating so I need a reminder to laugh! and dance, even though I'm definitely not good at it!
The other song, that isn't Muah Muah, has such nice vocals! and Yuya's part! the one after him is Hika, right? I love Yabu's parts too! is it a bit jazzy? I don't know... And of course, Yamada, his mellow voice really suits this kind of songs.
I love 'I am', it fitted the dorama so nicely and Yutti's singing seems to have improved, which is great. This is the sort of songs I highly approve in JUMP, for some reason. Also the dancing~
And that's it, because it's late and because I have to ensemble a chair tomorrow! I finally bought it, I just couldn't find a place where to use the computer and not having my neck or back hurt later~ Useless info...
I couldn't finish watching it yet!! (fanart by Twtt @ tsun_ars1)
