When the wind blows, that's the signal

Am I moving forward? Am I going back?
止まっているより8倍いいだろう

It's 8 times better than standing still
地を這う 鳥よりsmartなポーズで

Crawling on the ground, with a pose smarter than a bird
あの雲の流れより速く

I'll think of the day I met you
音楽の力を信じた瞬間

The moment I believed in the power of music.
[Pre-Chorus]
僕は僕らになれたんだ
Boku wa bokura ni naretan da
I have become us.
境界線はあの頃より曖昧だ

The boundaries are more ambiguous than they were back then.
君がくれた愛が近付けたんだ

The love you gave me has brought us closer.

I don't need a sad song.
今日から先僕らで
kyou kara saki bokura de
From today onwards, together we
笑うため創るため喜ぶため
warau tame tsukuru tame yorokobu tame

Singing together with you, we can jump.

Better than ever.

Even if our tears dry up and our voices get hoarse,
同じ太陽と月を記しあって

We'll record the same sun and moon together.

やれ騒々しいかつ鬱陶しいNoise
Yare souzoushii katsu uttoushii Noise
Dang, what a loud life and depressing noise,
毒もあるだろう

It's poisonous too, isn't it?

Too much information every second
この地獄を這って進め
kono jigoku wo hatte susume* [*What does he say in this part? HELP! T_T]
Crawl through this hell.

Make your choice, vow, and pray,
掛け合い息をする

Have a dialogue, and breathe.

When this video came out, I was so happy knowing I'd get to see Chii and listen to his voice again. I am not so active on X/Twitter like I used to be, so sometimes I feel out of touch when I go back there. But listening to this song and posting/translating the lyrics reminds me of the early days I first fell in love with them. As this song is so fast-paced, I had to listen with 0.75x speed to catch the words better (though of course I still could be wrong, so please cmiiw). Listening and reading the lyrics gives me a mixed feeling; it makes me sad, but it also gives me hope and courage. I know for sure my love for them remains strong if not getting stronger. Though now I've got more responsibilities, juggling between my hobbies, things and people that I love (with the same amount of time, gosh I need more than 24/7!), I know it's ok to do it all at my own pace. It might be just my personal interpretation (so please don't fight me for this, don't tell me that I'm wrong, 'cause you can have yours too and you can be right too), I feel in this song JUMP is trying to tell us that they've been trying and they'll keep fighting. They know that the world is changing; it might not be as "easy" as it was. They know that some people might think they've changed or come to dislike them for it, but they won't stop because they know they have us, tobikkos, their fans. I'm just one person and they might not even know my existence so it might be too audacious for me to say I'm giving them strength. But I believe as they have given us fans support through the dark days, we fans have also helped them overcome whatever they are going through. Thank you, everyone, for standing strong. Thank you for supporting JUMP in any way you can. Believe me, it's not meaningless. They've conveyed it in their songs again and again.
Usual disclaimer: My Japanese is not so advanced, so please kindly cmiiw. I mean gently, really, I'm fragile^^
