Today, the official Youtube channel Hello! Station posted the full performance footage of Hello! History, the additional track from the HelloPro All Stars 20th anniversary single. I know I’m not alone in thinking this should have been an A-side instead of an additional track, so I did the only thing I can to cope and translated the lyrics.
This track is written and composed by Miyamaeda Kenichi aka Hyadain, a highly prolific composer known to idol fans for his work with Stardust 3B idol groups, and to non-idol fans for his video game song arrangements and the Nichijou opening theme songs. He’s a huge fan of Hello! Project and also has a penchant for self introduction songs, previously writing a self introduction song for Morning Musume’s leaders. Like LEADERS, this song has a lot of references to previous songs and events, so I tried to include the source of the reference where I could.
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Put your hands up! Raise your voice
Ho! Ho! Ho! (Ho!)
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Growing, coming together, bonding, shining
Hey!
Morning Musume:
First up is the mothership, the start of it all
From five seeds of love, countless flowers bloom. Oh…
We come in every color. We polish our skills
As comrades, as rivals, as seniors, as a family
ANGERME:
Red-yellow-blue shuffle!
Making their entrance one by one, one after another!
Soloists, groups, and special units
Can’t help but feel jealous of the ones doing better than us
But just concentrate without getting discouraged, we’re late bloomers
No matter who you are, a chance is bound to come
I won’t lose to her, someday I’ll be number one
Yeah! Yeah!
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Put your hands up! Raise your voice
Ho! Ho! Ho! (Ho!)
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Growing, coming together, bonding, shining
Juice=Juice:
Dancing! Relaxed and free
And Singing! As loud as we can
Uncompromising quality, infinite capacity
Stretching ourselves upward, it’s exciting!
Country Girls:
Sorry for being too cute!
Sorry for being so adorable!
But even so, it’s a world of fierce competition
I don’t want to lose to her
I believe I’m the cutest
“Sigh, I can’t decide how to do my bangs!”
Being a maiden is tough!
Clashing with each other, comforting each other
Together, we create a history of love
With pride, never being dirtied
We wave to the you of tomorrow
Hello! Hello!
Kobushi Factory:
When there’s meetings, there’s bound to be separations
Tears and tears as we go on separate paths
There’s no time to be sad
Let’s be foolishly honest! And with our impulsive actions make flowers bloom
Tsubaki Factory:
Our very berry cute seniors
Left behind so many memories for us
Taking over their legacy, we are the next generation
Being ourselves while shouldering that responsibility
We bring the light of a brand new Sunrise!
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Put your hands up! Raise your voice
Ho! Ho! Ho! (Ho!)
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Growing, coming together, bonding, shining
New groups:
We’re finally getting started, the Brand New Groups
The time has come for these eggs to hatch!
I wonder what color we’ll be
I wonder what songs we’ll sing
I’m about to burst with all my energy and nerves
Yeah Yeah Yeah, an enormous future
It all depends on us
Stay tuned for the next generation!
Hello! Project Kenshuusei:
Will we ever become like our seniors?
We still can’t, can’t do it well at all
We’re always being scolded
But someday we want to stand in the center and shine!!!
Our history continues on endlessly
Without becoming haughty, let’s shoulder it all
We haven’t met you yet, but you’re also our family
After the next 20 years, we’ll smile and Say Hello!
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Put your hands up! Raise your voice
Ho! Ho! Ho! (Ho!)
H. E. L. L. O Say Hello! (Hello!)
Growing, coming together, bonding, shining
Growing, coming together, bonding, shining
Hey!
(One note that I couldn’t explain via link: “Dancing, Singing, Exciting” is the rallying cry all the Hello! Project members do when they huddle before their joint concerts.)
