IDOL PRODUCER (偶像练习生) | FOREVER [chinese/pinyin/english lyrics]

IDOL PRODUCER (偶像练习生) | FOREVER (live version)
SPOILERS OF FINAL NINE IN DESCRIPTION (but also come hear me ramble if you know who the final nine are :D)
EDIT: 0:38 is ling chao, not nongnong :) my bad
Translations are by me. Done at a crazy hour in the morning, so I hope they’re coherent. Please take out with credit.
I had to use the live audio because I couldn't find an official one, unfortunately. BUT there must be an official version out there somewhere because i can hear the backing track and how oUT of TUnE some of these boys are (cai xukun lmaoooo im sorry but that high note ouch) anyway it's okay even gods have flaws.
I DO want to translate It's Ok and even Mack Daddy (another mess of a song im so sorry nongnong) but i want to wait and see if the official (not live) version comes out. So if anyone finds one, shoot me the link and I'll translate it.
ABOUT THE VIDEO:
do you know how HARD it is to fit twenty boys on one screen??? i ended up making a slide for each boy because one) i felt sad cuz now there are only 9 left and two) the twenty boys on one screen format just looked so ugly. so i ended up spending two more hours on this than necessary go figure |D the pictures are from my fav IP photoshoot (warm winter!) and I tried to get pics from the photoshoot for all of them to be consistent but fan chengcheng's was really just too up close so his is pulled from google.
the quotes at the end are from the show, when they're all saying goodbye to the house. I just translated it.
越努力，越幸运 is Idol Producer's motto, i think, or something like that. they always say it. it means "the harder you work, the luckier you'll be," basically.
ABOUT THE SONG:
it's cute and kind of sad. in the episode i know it says justin sings nongnong's line at the beginning but i think they just messed up, because nobody else gets two lines in a row and it doesn't sound like justin anyway. lin chaoze was ROBBED, even all the rappers got a singing line lmao and he just gets a "whoo hoo". speaking of which xiao gui can actually sing???? my fave part is how if you listen carefully you can hear all the rappers "harmonizing" in the chorus by just speaking in normal voices lol. also this song is the perfect example why we need more vocals in this group ahahahahahah but it's fine everyone starts out at the bottom! practice to get to the top!
ABOUT NINE PERCENT:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my top 9 made it!!!! there are a few people im sad that i won't get to see anymore (hubaaaaa ;-;) but overall im very happy with the final group! If you zhangjing hadn't made it i would've unSTANNED (jk) i can't wait for their first songggg i just hope it's more like "dream" style or even better "firewalking" style and not "mack daddy" style lmao rip
cai xukun is going to be an amazing center. he's so charismatic (also 47 mil votes like??? what). i think xiao gui, ziyi, chengcheng and justin are going to rap, and then zhangjing will be main vocal (and ONLY VOCAL /slapped) with backup by nongnong, zhengting (also main dancer besides kunkun) and yanjun. all in all, not a bad group composition.
tbh i started this show because of zhang yixing (most attractive and talented man alive!!! stan talent!!) but i stayed for ze boysss. it's been such a long and wild journey following them each week, and i can't wait to see where they go in the future. also im happy that so many people are following the show! it's such a different experience being able to understand the show for once since it's in Chinese LOL.
anyway, if you read all this, kudos to you!!! even i don't really know what im saying anymore! but i hope you keep following nine percent in the future, as i definitely will be, and keep supporting them in their journey :)

MOOD FOR THIS LAST EPISODE:
the fanboy screaming chen linong the whole time in the background

[@lijungliao7218]

這個超適合當畢業歌的，淚崩～～～

[@hoitung2210]

但我怕我會邊唱邊哭...

[@eeunsi._.v]

今年 畢業了

[@fiqazhenaiko17]

zhangjing last line was soothing ....

[@xf7835]

I’m crying I’m watching this the day before they disband 😭 I’m gonna miss them so much 💔😭 我要哭了。在解散的前一天听这首歌😭 我会好想念nine percent哦。。。💔😭

[@justme8080]

I love Xukun. But I wonder why IP gave him the line which is one of the highest notes. They should have given it to "vocals" of the group. I mean Xukun can sing too, but I think other trainees can handle the higher notes better... just my thought. Anyway, Xukun tried his best & he gave that sweet smile after hw aings his part. My heart just melted again as usual 😊😊

[@mizzymsp]

why can't everyone on the list debut and create 20%

[@LovinneLily]

louisa I just started think and if I could I'd make at least 60%

[@greentae9864]

You know may as well make it 100%

[@sitinursarah6708]

100% sounds better for me :')

[@LovinneLily]

It was actually 99 trainees and som of them quit (others were forced to quit because they fought) it would be about 90 something

[@sitinursarah6708]

Lívia Suelen wait, what? I only knew that at first it still 100, but then one trainee left (the one who sat at #1) then there are two other trainess that got kicked bcs they break the rules or smtg, i dunno, and how about others? I never heard something like that before.

[@xinn_0507]

2021年在听这首🎼《Forever》的时候会想念NinePercent，虽然NinePercent在2019年10月9日宣布解散了但他们一直都在就好像从没离开🙂过（边写边听,慢慢流泪😭了）很怀念2018年4月6日在【青春有你】节目中正式出道时的他们😢，也感谢NinePercent~百分九少年的到来让我们知道你们可在我们的脑海里早已设想过无数次与我们相遇的场景❤️

[@soda-chan1778]

you can clearly hear bufan's deep and roaring voice in this song. and he finally sang ❤

[@genevaveleyte9318]

gugulegends on the rise I also notice it

[@minyoongiswag2262]

gugulegends on the rise we met again

[@user-sf2dn6ni8b]

听着听着不小心哭了🌚💦💦

[@yinam9836]

毕雯珺的声音真的不差 大家看看他吧 小鬼的vocal声线真的很温柔 胡巴的vocal听了很舒服

[@szeqi5003]

i am coming back to listen again 太多故事在里面了，超级感动。每次看了就会哭不管看几次都会回忆满满在里面！

[@sasy1533]

I hope they make a studio version

[@exohsebooty]

someone in the comments kindly provided a link to the studio version! (it sounds a lot smoother LMAO) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nInVlH2arquJfqM

[@sasy1533]

exohsebooty thank youuuuuu bc I love them all but what was this Mess

[@ziqing2506]

我覺得9%是可以的吧 首先農農跟長靖絕對是vocal了對吧 至於說接下來的vocal呢 我是覺得丞丞在cant stop唱到不錯、彥俊在愛你和firewalking我個人是蠻喜歡他聲音的、正廷的戒煙 mack daddy我覺得也還不錯 還有坤坤的個人歌曲i wanna get love 這三個他們的聲音算普通 但是我覺得聽起來很舒暢 然後子異跟Justin雖然他們對唱歌沒大熟悉 但是畢竟有尤老師在 一定沒問題的吧 😂😂至於小鬼 其實我很少聽到他vocal 都是聽他rap 不過應該可以的吧 相信他們💪 #以上純屬個人意見 個人特別喜歡NINE PERCENT💫 //當然最愛坤xD

[@vivijuliani5235]

LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! 😍😍😍 Everytime hear this song I always got goosebumps. Every trainees have done well. They deserve what they get. Will miss OT100 Idol Producer. 😢😢😢

[@ninyadventures]

I wish all 20 of them could debut😭😭❤

[@yant8990]

100位里的全部都好棒 各有不同 加油

[@evlikes]

i get that distributing the lines between 20 people is tough, but what chaoze got barely even counts as a line

[@ninyadventures]

the drink that xiuhun shared in kokobop mv ikr!

[@KokoroPororo13]

Qin fen, xukun, chaoze and jeffrey

[@caratdeulseventeen-sarangh2979]

[@ziqing2506]

真心最喜歡胡巴朱星杰唱的那句❤

[@sunnysunny22231]

I will miss you , idol produce 😭💓

[@O2Bubble]

I guess I'll be the only critical one to say this live version definitely separates the vocalists from the many rappers in the show. Still happy with the final 9 though. I hope something good happens with the other 11. There were so many good trainees!

[@exohsebooty]

EDIT: it appears i made a mistake LOL 0:38 is ling chao not nongnong! sorry, i couldn't tell who was singing in the video. SOOOOO WHO'S YOUR BIAS IN NINE PERCENT???? (spoilers below cut for those who don't want to know yet) mine is either zhangjing or nongnong!!! zhangjing is like my spirit animal, but nongnong is like my child. im overall very happy with this group :) i'll mainly be sad to see huba go, but all my top 9 made it, so yay~

[@Pompom-xy3uu]

Mine is NongNong

[@Motokiwakus]

exohsebooty chengcheng and xiao gui🧡🧡

[@Summercarat]

My pick has always been Lin Yanjun ever since I watched the Codename Contra performance. I'm so proud of him omg jumping to 5th place and debuting with 9 percent (T^T)

[@kryzhaalynnakamillealaijos2069]

[@ytzelcm2428]

My heart

[@winniew2719]

GOOD

[@yinam9836]

好怕6.10.19那天播会泪崩

[@uwuki22]

现在9%要解散了，再回来听这歌，真的立马泪崩😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@huanjuzhang7341]

this song make me sad😭😭😭😭

[@KAIST977]

好奇9%会怎样演唱《Forever》歌曲，别让小尤和农农一手扛啊 不是说其他人不好但毕竟这是全vocal，高音也挺多 9% 加油 edit： 不是说了，这歌偏高音的，所以对不是vocal挺吃力的。 每个 top 9歌声都挺好的，没在黑，个人对小鬼 artist ，正廷 mackdaddy ，徐坤 后台的戒烟，小橘🍊（ 我爱他，长俊粉啊我 ）its okay 和 丞丞 cant stop 特别有影像，好听啊！ 子异和小贵的有听，但短了些，好像 子异的我永远记得 和 小贵的 forever 都挺好的啊

[@jesslyntan3514]

Jolene au 同意，六个rap

[@_kiki4106]

Jesslyn Tan 是五個rap

[@_kiki4106]

Jesslyn Tan 朱正廷是dance

[@sinhlykang3334]

別忘了林彥俊也選著了 vocal，畢竟他是會唱的，也不比農農差。丞丞也有在can’t stop 歌裡當過vocal 的，李榮浩老師還誇他呢。

[@_kiki4106]

Sinh Ly Kang 嗯

[@ohdamnthatssexy]

I have so much to catch up on, but when did Han Mubo get eliminated? Wasn't his ranking good at the beginning? What happened? I'll have to catch up soon :(

[@cynthia5911]

OnlyThatMN he didn’t make top 20 for 3rd round of eliminations, they only allowed one person to vote for two people a day and a lot of the higher ranked trainees dropped and some rose a lot due to increased popularity.

[@user-hc3uz8ws6d]

希望前20一起出道

[@airesvillasurda2591]

Can i ask for a softcopy of the lyrics?? 😊😊

[@jieyee1194]

听到有点想哭，想念大厂

[@obikwentoh43]

I want Jeffery to debut nine percent right now

[@NB-lb4pl]

[@AngelaAngela]

I think this is the official audio kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3fai4yKeKeCY8U

[@user-go6hc2bc3y]

3首比起來，一直覺得這首大家唱得很怪又不穩，只有少數幾個唱得不錯，是只有我有這種感覺嗎？想說這首不是為他們量身打造的.....怎麼這麼可怕😅

[@user-ro1db2jg2m]

Carey Wu 這是現場收音，有些不穩，有些情緒沒收好

[@user-go6hc2bc3y]

笨 笨 最後的3首歌，在聽過修過音的版本很多次後，自己只有收its ok，而且一聽在聽，真的耐聽(剛聽時覺得不優，後來等到聽過修音版，真的不錯，旋律好，唱得好，rap很棒😍) 。 forever是真的有嚇到我.....XD(我應該算是偶練鐵粉了，但還是嚇到了，哈哈😅)

[@jerelb0y281]

The most wasted is jeffrey qing fen and li xikan

[@CASHLEY-sj1zx]

坤坤唱的时候貌似破音了😳😳

[@5a11fungkitying7]

因为太高了嘛😅其实算不错的了，我一个女生唱都够呛何况是一个不是vocal的男生呢？咱坤不是vocal，不要为难咱坤
