Tsuyoshi's Love Fighter: 2012.12.19: On Top of the World!!!

皆様いかが

お過ごしですか？

今年は特に寒く感じる

How has everybody been?

Somehow, this year feels especially cold.

年末年始になりそうですね...

健康管理を怠らず過ごしましよう☆

We're approaching again the end of a year, the start of a new year

Please do not neglect your health ☆

ライブでまたまた

高い場所にも

参ります

（泣）

Live concert is here again

And I also have to be in high places

(SOB)

緊張して

固まってるかも知れませんが

どうぞ

笑ってやって下さい！

I might be so nervous that my whole body ends up becoming rigid

Please feel free to laugh at me!

それでは

本日も皆様に

感謝を込めて

自分らしく過ごします

And

Today is another day

filled with gratitude to everybody

Living true to myself 

(o´∀‵o)☆ ☆ ☆

******************************************************

Who could bear to laugh at you or mock you, dear Tsuyo?  We know you are scared of heights but every year, you bravely go up to the high places to perform!  Of course with your hands grasping tightly to the safety bar, pole or whatever you can grab hold of!  You wanna try grabbing Koichi? We all know he's not scared of heights.  Fufufu!  :P

20121004 - Waratte Iitomo! 笑っていいとも!: BIG Flower Heart!!!

 To Kochan 

From Tsuyoshi chan

Kyaaaaa!

Tsuyoshi obviously can't help wanting the whole world to know his love for someone! (Or is it more to stake his claim?!  Fufufu!)

 Tamori started the flower arrangements introduction segment with the words "It's big!"

(Fufufufu!  He obviously was referring to Tsuyoshi's BIG flower heart!)

 Look at Koichi's smiling face as Tamori highlighted that Tsuyoshi called himself "Tsuyoshi Chan".

(In case you don't know, only little children or family members or very close friends call each other chan)

15周年なんだけど...僕も

This year is the 15th anniversary of KinKi Kids' CD debut.  However, many fans have been bemoaning the fact that there does not seem to be any celebration activities.  Koichi and Tsuyoshi have both been busy with their solo performances.  Even up to now, there is still no news that there will be the annual KinKi Kids' year end concert!

There have been rumours that Johnny's Entertainment agency does not care about the older idol groups and the management is only focused on the younger idol groups.  I have to say with great regret that I do think the rumours are true.  The management appears to just want easy money and the power that comes with being in control of the younger and more popular groups. 

Just as one begins to wonder whether KK themselves care about KinKi Kids, they sent out a very clear message to all the KK fans out there - they do care!

24 Sep 2012 - Hey! Hey! Hey! (Live telecast)

Credit to: littlemo5124BKoichi appeared on Hey! Hey! Hey! live telecast to perform his solo song - Danger Zone from his new Gravity album.  Koichi was performing outdoor and it was raining

The host asked him what would be his answer to the question "Eh?! Is that really so?".
He jokingly replied "Isn't it dancing in the rain?".  

Then he flipped over his answer clipboard and on it, it is written:

(Even though it is our 15th anniversary...)

Koichi:  Downtown is 30th anniversary?  Takki & Tsubasa is 10th anniversary?  KinKi Kids is 15th anniversary but there is totally nothing planned

Koichi looked to his right side and asked, "Why am I alone today?"

Downtown: Is there really nothing planned for 15th anniversary?
Koichi:  None.
(All the fans were going "ehhhhhh.....?!?!")

Koichi:  I did ask whether it is true that there are no activities planned.  The year is ending already.

Downtown:  You need to quickly resolve that matter!
(Downtown burst out laughing)
Koichi (laughingly):  Sumi-masennnnn? (Excuse meeeeee...?)
(I think Downtown cracked a dirty joke here...they are quite notorious for it.  I  shan't tell you what went through my mind when I heard that......definitely very KKL thoughts!  Fufufu!)

25 Sep 2012 - Love Fighter

The next day, Tsuyohi updated his Love Fighter.  Just 3 syllabus but enough to touch our hearts!

僕も  (boku mo) (Me too)

Good for them!  Way to go, Koichi and Tsuyoshi!

Whilst Japanese culture subscribes to obedience, respect for hierarchy, blah blah blah, there should be a limit to what one can tolerate!  This is KinKi Kids' 15th anniversary, for goodness sake!  How can the agency be so callous and not plan any activity to celebrate it?  I never expected Koichi to be the one to raise this on national live TV.  If it was Tsuyoshi, I wouldn't be surprised.  I thought Koichi would be the type to handle such matters behind the scene.  This really goes to show that even Koichi is fed up with the agency and has no choice but to take it up on national live TV where it can't be edited.

今日は


僕たちの
ニューシングル
変わったかたちの石
が発売となった日です。

Today is the release date of our new single “The Odd-Shaped Stone”.

聴いて下さった方
まだ
聴いてらしてない方
様々いらっしゃると
思いますが  U_U

Some of you would have heard the song, but I guess there would also be others who have not U_U


今作品は
誰もが一度は抱いた
柔らかく優しくて
でも
ほんの少し痛むような
人生に咲くこころ…。

This composition is about growing up; filled with tenderness and gentleness, but also tinged with a little heartpain.


その
繊細なこころの描写が
見事に表現されている
音楽・詩・映像と
なっています。

The music, poetry and images all come together to create a sensitive portrayal of such spirit.

これから先の未来が
青く優しく強く
あれるために
自分を信じて
そして誰かを
たくましく勇敢に
救ってあげて欲しい。

From now on, let's become pure, gentle and strong, and believe in yourself, so that you can become brave enough to save others.

自分らしく生きることが
これからの
僕たちの日本人の
共通のテーマだと
思います。

To be able to live for oneself, I believe this is the common theme for all Japanese.

この楽曲が
たくさんの
ひとのこころを
勇気づけられることを
強く信じたいし
信じています。

I hope that this song will be of great encouragement to many people, and I strongly believe it will be so.

みんなのこと
生まれたこの国のこと
本当にこころから
愛しています。

I truly love all of you and my country from the deepest of my heart.
