TRANSLATION - Hito Hito Hito - SixTONES
Hey there!
So, after listening to SixTONES new album, I couldn't help but want to work on some songs' translations ehe
The first one is this, since I'm literally addicted to it lol
I'm not sure about some parts, since they're written
in katakana, hence the meaning isn't clear enough since they could literally mean anything lmao
I put some notes here and there to make things more understandable, of course!
Also, I decided to use "we" even though the subject isn't specified in Japanese. But, since I needed it to make the English translation, I thought that using the first plural form would be more fitting, since they're talking about people performing on stage, etc. and they also say "We are the player"
That being said, here's my translation!

English
Get on the stage with a composed face Great Bring it on, if you're ready
Transfer it to energy Let's Show Time A little salt and pepper
If it's not enough, let's do like this Let's go up and down
If we perform greatly it'll take you at the limits of joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure
Verses that'll kick aiming for your heart's guts
Just deliver the Universe, but we can also get Nervous
So! Sa sa! Let's go sliding into the show
Set the lighting A well-aimed shooting
Wait a minute
Sound check? (Check!) Don't forget it Loudness,
Equalize,
Comp, Limit... Repeat the lyrics Yo
Pecking at our ears and putting on the ear pieces
Write "people" "people" "people" on the palm of our hand and drink it, write it and drink it*
Another one, you can understand the conditions' parameters with this refill
Let's cheer up We are the player!
Let me hear good notes Let me see beautiful stage
We don't need any backup, we don't need any change either, we don't need anything Laugh your soul
Let me hear good notes Let me see beautiful stage
No hesitation No Lie No need of anything
Just the image
Hey, laugh people people people Give them a dream people people people
We are a Factory, so we have a hundred ways
One more time, okay? People people people Just draw it people people people
Aa gulp it down
Yeah whatever happens, it's show time yeah...
Yo ah~ It's so tiresome Gulp down even on days like this (People!)
Jump in a (People! People!!)
whirlpool of an aching's entertainment bruise...
Thank you, Staff and audience
I'm hungry Rumbling before the show
We don't need a cheering Tambourine In other words, just boom and clap! B, Boom boom and Clap Clap!
Putting wrinkles and wrinkles together, we get a happy "**🙏🏻"
One time, two times, three times, four times, five times, back again one more time
Kin & Chou*** A rapid growing formula, write people instead of Open Sesame (Gulp!)
Because of that, we will jump to the Show and can show to you
Lights & Dreams
Gotta be your stars... Controlling -our?- trembling hands
Hey We're behind the stage
Please We were about to do that and we already did****
(Whoo! Whoo!) But
Look, if we blow it***** we're the kings of the stage
We're authors Nin Nin Nin no no Hito! hito! hito!******
It's an ancient spell, impossible not to believe in it
Borrowing the wisdom of our predecessors, we start the engine
Lights Camera Action!
Drink it before you're drunk Come again
Even a composed face alone isn't enough just like that
Use (lit. Involve) the two strokes of this character in those dizzy days
We can't live without people
We support each other, right? We are the player!
Let me hear good notes Let me see beautiful stage
We don't need any backup, we don't need any change either, we don't need anything Laugh your soul
Let me hear good notes Let me see beautiful stage
No hesitation No Lie No need of anything, just the image
Aa It's superstitious
Hey, laugh people people people Give them a dream people people people
We are a Factory, so we have a hundred ways

* In Japan, when you have to do something in front of an audience and you are nervous, it is said that if you write the character "人hito", "People" , three times on the palm of your hand and swallow it down, it'll help you be less nervous
** In Japanese, "shiwa" means "wrinkle" and the action of putting your palms together is "awasu". Putting both palms together, will put your left and right's palms' wrinkle together, hence, as they say in the song "shiwa to shiwa awasete", which sounds like "shiawase", that is "happiness"
*** The way to read characters that form the word "nervous"
**** This part isn't that clear tbh since it's all written in katakana, but I think they're referring to writing "people" on the hand?
***** the write "people" on the hand
