Let’s JOY! 😅 So the title literally translates into “I feel like I want to JOY” or something like that, lol. I think the lyricist has tried to partially translate “tanoshimitai” into English and didn’t quite get there but you get the feeling he’s trying to express 🤣 Something like “I wanna have fun” would be a more accurate translation. Anyway… This is a song about forgetting about all the yucky, responsibilities of life and taking a day off to have fun every once in a while (more specifically with Ebi at Joypolis in 2018 🤣)
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translation
We’ll enjoy the things that we can only do now
Say Hey!, Oh well, we’ll be OK
Let’s Joy! Enjoy! Let’s Joy!
Plan a day off
It’s fine if you’re not on time so
Don’t make that awkward looking face
Include that in your everything vacation
It seems like we lose sight of things in the crowd
So get excited
Does a short vacation = running away? Anything is fine but this is best!
Let’s forget everything just for today (Let’s Joy!)
That’s it no matter what happens (Enjoy!)
We’ll enjoy the things that we can only do now
We’ll Be Alright in the end
The hard things, the worrying things (Let’s Joy!)
Don’t let anything bother you anymore (Enjoy!)
When we’re tired from playing tomorrow
Maybe we’ll be able to give it our all the day after?
Say Hey!, Oh well, we’ll be OK
Let’s Joy!
Hey, I’m kinda hungry but
Ok, I wanna eat this and that and those too!
Ah, I can’t decide but anything is probably fine…
It’s a location where preparations aren’t necessary
Doing horrible things yesterday
So that we can laugh and talk
Maybe we need one or two horrible things?
Let’s forget everything just for today (Let’s Joy!)
That’s it no matter what happens (Enjoy!)
Put off all the bothersome things
It’s ok every once in a while, right?
Hey! Don’t wear yourself out OK
Let’s Joy! Enjoy!
Joy & Joy It keeps on going
If you can enjoy anything and everything then you’re a winner
Even the stars, the night, the sunshine, the rain, the symbols gathered together are always the same
Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy!
Leap in Diver Be afraid of nothing
Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy!
It’s everything you ever talked about
“Bye bye” is slowly creeping closer
I don’t want to go home just yet
Do we have to?
Do we have to?
Through the Night!
It never ends!
We will always be here…
Just for today
Let’s forget everything (Let’s Joy!)
That’s it no matter what happens (Enjoy!)
We’ll enjoy the things that we can only do now
There are harsh things too but
I’d rather we love everything (Let’s Joy!)
Once it’s over we’ll start all over again (Enjoy!)
Enjoy the party time!
What will we eat when we get home?
Let’s not decide!
We haven’t played enough yet!
Hey! Come again next time
Let’s Joy! Enjoy! Let’s Joy! Enjoy!
