[Translation] Potato 01/2011 Hey!Say!JUMP's Special Messages

Ryosuke Yamada: No matter how many times you hear them, it’d be nice if you could enjoy the song’s lyrics. Thanks to this song, whatever countries I go to in the future, it seems like I’ll be able to say “thank you”!

Yuri Chinen: First of all, I recommend that you listen to the song without looking at the lyrics! Then I think that you’ll definitely be surprised when you {see the lyrics after} and think: “oh, it was that phrase!”

Yuto Nakajima: When I sing this song, I feel true feelings of gratefulness to the whole world. The PV is also super full of feeling, so everybody please check it out!

Ryutaro Morimoto: This single is totally dancing style. The tune probably isn’t very JUMP-like, but the lyrics of “Arigato” definitely express our feelings.

Daiki Arioka: I think that if you just listen to the words the song is cool, but if you pay attention to the lyrics, they’re really interesting. I was the first person to know what “merci” {“thank you” in French} meant, yo.

Kei Inoo: The lyrics are really complicated, so we had to work hard to memorize them up until the day of the recording (smile). I want to feel lots of “thank yous”.

Hikaru Yaotome: Even though it’s a dance number, I think that the choreography is difficult to follow, and it might be elusive. So if you just listen and get footloose, if you follow along freely, it’d make me happy.

Kota Yabu: The dance to this song makes you breathe hard, but it’s more than just the dance, in the song we’re aligning everybody and using all of ourselves. The lyrics are also interesting.

Yuya Takaki: Within this flashy pop song, there are serious lyrics that say “thank you”: it makes an unexpectedly messy match. The dance is also hard, so you get to enjoy three kinds of songs inside one song.

Keito Okamoto: This song has the word for “thank you” in languages from all over the world in it, so when you listen to it you’ll be studying other languages (smile). It’s the first time that I heard the word “mutashakkiru” (it means “thank you” in Arabian).

Translation! DUET 2011 yuto and chinen

Nakajima Yuto:
Speaking of Christmas, when I am young, I always thought “Let’s see how Santa looks like!”
And for that, I would say that I definitely won’t sleep but I don’t know why, on that day, I fell asleep extremely early. Not only that, it was really comfortable~ and sleepy. Is it only on the day Santa comes? “” I questioned myself. (laughs) When I am in elementary school, I got a letter from Santa. It was written in note form and in English so I got my mum to read. The contents are like “It is not a present you wanted for this year…” (laughs) Come to think of it, it’s my parent’s kindness. My parents really treasure the atmosphere of Christmas. They would bring me to a restaurant where there is live piano performance, and not crashing a child’s dream by telling me Santa does exist so that I will do my best. When I become a father myself, I am thinking of doing the same thing too.

My favourite present that made me happy was not my Christmas or birthday present, it was the electronic drums I got from my Mother, Father, Grandpa and Grandma when I am in Year 2 (secondary school)! I was very happy. Even that~ Very~ I can practise~! (<- Why did he stammered?). if there isn’t this electronic drum, I think I would probably be unable to be so good at it. Thankfully I was able to do it in the concerts. I am grateful. The present I put in a lot of efforts was the guitar I bought for my brother as a present. But my brother, he did play the guitar quite often initially but recently he haven’t been practising. So finally I got angry and told him “It’s not right like this!” (laughs)

Dear Fan, for this winter, I will be your hot water bag! Um, change “hot water bag” to “Yutoたんぽ” (湯たんぽ = ゆーとたんぽ, plus a とinside)… This winter, I will become your hot water bag, and give you warmth!

Chinen Yuri: 
Christmas is actually on the 25th right? But why is Christmas eve, 24th December more popular? It must be because on the 25th, the fun event will be ending. There will be a lonely feeling. My ideal Christmas is one person, get under the bed quilt and good night…. ZZZ. Eh, there is no dream? There is~! If I don’t sleep early, Santa won’t come right? <3 Well, for the real Christmas, I will be with Keito for sure. After I became a member of JUMP, my Christmas, definitely, Keito will be there. We’ll look at the beautiful illuminations that are lit from inside the car. When I see from the side, Keito… . Seriously, this year too, I will really mind him saying “It is you again~” (Laughs)

If I am to give present to all JUMP members, I would give vouchers… It’s not true, it’s not true (laughs). Then, I will give the things I can get! Takaki will be hand bag. I have never seen him with it. For Inoo and Morimoto would be knitted hat. I will knit it properly. I wonder if it will become something like an amulet? Yabu would be a very long muffler because his body is long (laughs). For Dai-chan would be Santa’s outfit. It looked perfect for him. For Yuto would be an interesting neck warmer. I think that Keito wouldn’t be cold because he has muscles, it will be proteins. Yaotome will be, a bag with fury fury things. For Yama-chan, I will give him my warmth… <3 The present I want would be new friends! (I WANT BE YOUR FRIEND)! I want to meet someone who is around the same age as me and is active in a different genre (doing different things from him). For example, pro-golfer 石川遠くん. The nervous feelings before the games against other world competitors, and other kind of interesting things, I would like to hear all of them.

Dear Fan
On the night of the eve, I wish everyone would sleep early! But even when its dark, take a look at the sky. Who knows, you might see a Santa that look like me, coming to your house to give you your present…?
