Hey! Say! JUMP -『サンダーソニア』Lyrics [Kanji+Romaji+English]
Hello, I'm back with a translation of Hey! Say! JUMP's song. My Twitter timeline was flooded with fanrepos of their FILMUSIC! concerts, so I was feeling a bit emo. No matter what, JUMP is special; I'm here because of them at the first place. Sooooo, somehow I was thinking of this song, 'cause it's an ost of Love, All, Play anime, which I also enjoy watching (I love badminton! Though I can't play 🤪😂🙈✌). And so I tried to see if this song had been translated or not, but I found no English translation maybe I didn't browse enough, but I didn't want to spend too much time browsing, so I decided to just go ahead and translate it myself.
Gosh, for someone whose Japanese is not so advanced, translating this song is really challenging. It might be one of the hardest to translate. JUMP really loves to play with words and the way they read Kanji 👍🔥💖 And I'm also bad with English that's written in Katakana, so yeah, please gently cmiiw. 🙏😊
Btw, they use this song for their 15th Anniversary film YouTube video 😊
