[Songs][Aug 2008] Hey! Say! JUMP (1/4)
I resolved to finish this part first, but I always go back and read BEST's part. >> Anyway! 7 crosstalk. I'm not entirely satisfied with how I went around this. It's probably because some of it flows better in Japanese. >>; If you spot a mistake, feel free to point it out nicely. XD

The nourishment that makes the flowers of our dreams blossom are our efforts and our friends' power!
When you heard 『Your Seed』, what impressions did you have?
Nakajima Yuto It's really kung fu! I think it'll make you want to eat Chinese food. (laugh)
Yamada Ryosuke If on the side of one coin is Hey! Say! JUMP's image in the 2 singles we've done until now, 『Your Seed』 is like suddenly flipping that coin and showing another side. In this song you'll know us, it's like you'll think that we're definitely a cool group, right?
Chinen Yuuri When I heard the demo, I thought that the image of Hey! Say! JUMP will be different from now on. But when I heard that it was the image song for 『Kung Fu Panda』, I thought "I see!"
Morimoto Ryutaro When I heard it was going to be the image song for the movie, I was very surprised.
Okamoto Keito Not only that, it's for a Dreamworks animation!
Nakajima When I saw on the news that Yamaguchi(Tatsuya)-kun will be dubbing it in Japanese, I thought "that's great~" then I was like, there's no way we can perform this song, are they serious!?
Yamada Movies like 『Shrek』 and 『Bee Movie』, we're the usual fans of Dreamworks.
Chinen This is our chance to get a lot of people to know us!
Morimoto Me, even though I went to see the movie, I didn't get to hear the ending song because I left.
Nakajima You shouldn't do that!
Morimoto But from now on, I'll definitely watch until the end!
Nakajima When I first heard it, I wanted to listen to it again, it's a catchy song.
Okamoto The gap between the CD jacket and the song is unique too. It's colorful, and there's a panda beside us, you'll think "Maybe this is a cute song" then "Oh, it's so cool," like that.
Yamada Yeah, I like having fun with those gaps in various things.
Chinen Singing this mature song, I wonder what we'll do if we go back to singing cheerful and energetic songs. (laugh)
Yamada On the other hand, this is still our 3rd single, isn't it okay even if we don't choose our colors?
Nakajima Yeah, the rainbow-ish feel was good. Ah, and the point where the Chinese violin entered the interlude was good, too. Because of those tone qualities that entered, it gave a kung fu-ish mood.
Chinen It's basically a dancable song.
So dance practice must have been dreadful, right?
Nakajima In the PV, we did nothing but dance! My muscle pain came back...
Yamada But it was very interesting ne.
Chinen Please check out our 10-man formation!
The meaning of 『Your Seed』 is...
Yamada Please listen to Keito, who has experience in English from studying abroad in England.
Okamoto SEED is "tane," right?
(Tane can also mean cause, thus the title Your Seed. Excuse me while I look for a songwriter to beat senselessly.)
Nakajima Yeah. People have dreams in seeds. The nourishment that makes those seeds grow are our own efforts and the power of our friends cheering us on!
Chinen Without fearing failure, let's run toward the future! That's the courage that the song conveys.
Okamoto Ryutaro has a lot of dreams.
Chinen Was it a singer-songwriter?
Morimoto No. I want to be a songwriter.
Yamada Eeh, but you've already become a singer. (laugh)
Morimoto I've been practicing the guitar now, and someday I'll make artists other than Hey! Say! JUMP sing the songs I composed and wrote myself, that is my dream.
Nakajima So you won't make songs for us. (laugh)
Like Morimoto-kun, do you have a seed that you want to make blossom in a music genre in the future?
Nakajima For me, drums.
Morimoto Yuto's talent for drum, it'll bloom once more.
Nakajima Not quite! I want to get better at playing those "fill-ins" in between gaps of melodies...
Morimoto Fill in?
Nakajima Like, dakadakadan!... Iiya, I'm explaining how to play it now (laugh)
Chinen Yuto is interested in rhythms, so I think he's good at rapping too. I want to do a song like Arashi's 『COOL&SOUL』 with Hey! Say! JUMP.
Morimoto Yama-chan has a knack for comedy.
Nakajima No no, he has a knack for getting scared too.
Chinen This conversation isn't about music at all. (laugh)
Nakajima As expected, when it come to dance, I won't lose to anyone.
Yamada If I feel that I like the dance, I'll have confidence.
Okamoto You have sense. Moreover, you're a hardworking person.
Yamada To become good at something, it's just hard work that gets you there. But Chinen is a prodigy!
Morimoto I feel that prodigy aura from him. His acrobatics, they're flawless.
Okamoto He's almighty. I've never see him get worried.
Chinen About the things I can't seem to do, I'm the type that won't do them to begin with. (laugh)
Nakajima His sole weakness is Ohno-kun!
Chinen That's right! The other one is Keito.
Yamada I know Keito the most.
Chinen Eeeh! The one who knows him the most is me.
Nakajima Wait wait. Can't you guys stop talking about Keito's charm?
Chinen No, it's absolutely me!
Yamada ...I see. I lost. Speak up, Chinen!
Chinen Keito's charm is that he's super cute ♪
Nakajima Like, he's like a cloud floating in the blue sky. No, maybe a marshmallow. He has that soft, fluffy feeling~
Yamada He's not another music prodigy, Yuto slipped into it and spoke up, too. (laugh)
Morimoto Me, I feel that it looks like Keito will be an amazing guitarist in the future.
Okamoto Really? Thank you. I will grant Ryutaro's dreams too.
Yamada Keito's charm is that he understood Ryutaro the most. (laugh)
To make your flowers bloom, is there anything that you're exerting effort into?
Nakajima Because I want to work on my arm muscles and physical strength, I'm doing sit-ups and push-ups.
Morimoto I'm studying and practing the guitar. but I'm sad that my fingers are short and that I can't reach some chords. (cry)
Chinen I want to be good at rapping. I should work on my coolness.
Yamada In order to be able to dance whatever genre, I watch dance DVDs and keep on studying them.
Okamoto I also want to get better at dancing first. I should practice my acrobatics too.
Nakajima What, the one who is working hard at singing more than anything else... we don't have one!?
Yamada No one said that because everyone knows the necessity of intensive training...
Nakajima Aah, I see! Sorry, in order to level up in singing, I'll spend a little more time on it!
I'll be waiting for it. (laugh) So your other song, 『Bouken Rider』, what kind of song is it?
Nakajima It's a refreshing summer song!
Yamada It's like we changed our image once again. (laugh)
Morimoto It is the image song for 『Odaiba Bouken Ou Final』
Chinen Years ago, my sister and I had fun at 『Bouken Ou』
Nakajima This year, 『SUMMARY』 will be held at Odaiba, so people will have double the fun. I'm jealous.
Yamada We don't see being the ones that let people have fun as a privilege.
Okamoto If I could fly, I guess I could have fun while starring in the show...
Yamada I can't say no to that. (laugh)
Nakajima For us and everyone who will come watch, everyone having fun would be ideal. Let's do our best to make the best memories for summer vacation!
