KinKi Kids World is for all English-speaking KinKi Kids fans who, despite the language barrier, have found themselves falling in love with KinKi Kids and their music, this is my humble attempt to bring us all closer to the world of KinKi Kids - Domoto Tsuyoshi 堂本刚 (244) and Domoto Koichi 堂本光一(51).

The contents of this blog are based primarily on contents found in other Chinese blogs, as I have only just started learning Japanese (which is とても むずがしです i.e. very difficult). I wish to thank all the Chinese Kinki Kids fans for their hard work and efforts in translating the Japanese materials/information on the KinKi Kids.

KinKi Kids Fan Vid: No. 1 Princess of the World

This is a very kawaii fan video. There are 2 videos, the first one being the Princess' lyrics and the second one being the Prince's lyrics. All KKL fans should know who is who! LOL! It's very long but very funny. The Prince Version is like a response by the Prince to the Princess' thoughts in the Princess Version.

Princess Version:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/oQELr4YWM9s/


English translation of lyrics (based on Chinese subtitles):

[0:01] No. 1 Princess of the World
Remember to treat me in this way
Yo ne!

[0:29] No. 1: If I change my hairstyle, you must notice it immediately
[0:36] No. 2: Even my shoes, you must pay attention to, understand?
[0:40] No. 3: When I say something in one sentence, you have to answer in 3 sentences.
[0:48] If you understand already, my right hand is now empty, please quickly do something about it.
I'm not saying anything wilful (yo), I just want you to feel from the deepest of your heart that I'm the most kawaii (cutest) (the video clip shows the scene where Koichi hugged Tsuyoshi in the Hey Hey Hey telephone box)

[1:07] I'm the no. 1 princess of the world, please quickly take note (ne ne)
Therefore please don't make me wait
Who do you think I am?
I feel like eating something sweet, I want it now! (the video clip shows Tsuyoshi kissing Koichi at the Phi con! Fufufu!)

[1:43] Negative trait?! You must be joking! You meant the word "kawaii", right?
Stop complaining yo!
Ano...are you listening to me?

[1:55] Wait! Ah, there is some more!
Have you booked the white horse? Remember to come and fetch me!
[2:03] If you understand already, come and attend to me
Hold my hand and call me "Princess"
I'm not saying anything wilful, but if you wish to reprimand me a little, it's ok yo

[2:22]
Because you are the only prince in this world that belongs to me
Please quickly take note, here here! (hora hora) Your forehead is empty (This is the part where Tsuyoshi puts his hand on Koichi's forehead during the Phi con, and slowly slides it down his face. Not too sure what the lyrics mean.)
Of few words, distant and cold prince
What are you doing? Please quickly take note!
[2:48] You definitely...definitely don't understand...don't understand!

[3:02] A cake decked with strawberries, egg pudding that melts in the mouth
All these I can resist, please don't think of me as a wilful person
If I become serious, I can do anything, even though I may regret it later
[3:22] Of course that is so! Because I am the no. 1 princess of the world! (This is the part where Tsuyoshi did his sneak attack kiss on Koichi's left cheek! Yes, Tsuyo, we know you dare to do anything!)
Are you looking properly at me?
Where are you taking me?
[3:36] I'm suddenly hugged by you, why such haste? Eii?
"Can be pricked [by moutache]! It's dangerous yo!"
After saying this, I turned to my side to look at you...I think you are more dangerous! (This is the part where Koichi had his revenge and kissed Tsuyoshi on his head during BNS encore at the Phi con! Hahahaha!)



Prince Version:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/HG0ZNsw6Lk4/



English translation of lyrics (based on Chinese subtitles):

[0:01] No. 1 Princess of the World
I know...you are mine
Wife! (yo me) (This is a very witty reply to the Princess' yo-ne!)

[0:34] No. 1: You've cut your hair? Let me caress! (This is the part where Koichi was standing behind Tsuyoshi and rubbing away at his blue furry cap in iD con)
[0:40] No. 2: Your new shoes are quite pretty!
[0:46] No. 3: Whatever you say, I will definitely obey!
My right hand is empty, let's hold hands.
[0:59] I already know that you are a little wilful, so don't worry
No matter when, you are so kawai ne (This is the DB scene where Tsuyoshi is wearing a long wig and Koichi is hugging him)

[1:12] No. 1 Princess of the World
What is your command?
I'm coming over right now, so please don't feel alone
[1:24] Your husband is who? He's your knight, isn't he?!
As for the egg pudding, it's in the fridge

[1:49] It's a waste of time to complain, because those are all part of him
Sora...which is the outfit that he wanted? Which one?
[2:02] As for the white horse, that's not possible.
Give me your hand, please make do with the merry-go-round first, alright?

[2:12] PRINCESS
Your little wiful ways, I already know about them
[2:18] But since you say so, then let me knock you head (This should be in reply to the Princess saying that the Prince can reprimand her if she is wilful. It's very funny that the scenes here show Tsuyoshi being kissed or kissing others! Hahahaha!)

[2:26] The only prince in this world that belongs to you
Even though this is not my style
But it's not too bad if it means being loved in this way by you
[2:45] One day, you will finally find out, right?
You will find out, right?
Don't know, don't understand (This is the scene in Ningen Shikkaku where Koichi carassed Tsuyoshi's lips and touched his own lips. The two sets of lyrics are so cute! The Princess thinks that her Prince does not notice her love, but the Prince actually does love her but still has not fully realised it.)

[3:07] A cake decked with strawberries, egg pudding that melts in the mouth
They are still in the fridge
It's always like that, causing me to sigh
That's true, if it is you, you definitely can do it
So please quickly come to a realisation!

[3:27] Of course, it's only because you are the only princess in this world that belongs to me!
[3:36] Looking intensely at you, I don't want to go anywhere else
[3:43] Now and then, I will steal a hug from you
"Can be pricked [by moutache]! It's dangerous yo!"
[3:51] As expected, you are feeling a little shy
It must be because you are attracted by me! (No wonder the Princess ends off with saying the Prince is more dangerous! She can read his mind very well! Hahahaha!)

剛紫 Bigaku ~my beautiful sky TOUR: Tsuyoshi's side is vacant yo~!

This happened at Tsuyoshi's solo concert at Yokohama Arena on 29 May 2009. He asked if there were any couples amongst the fans and there was silence! LOL! He said he must have asked something that should have best not been asked! And here comes the most important part - our sweet and gentle Tsuyoshi then put out his arms to his side and said, "Tsuyoshi's side is vacant yo~!" (剛のここあいてますよ~; Tsuyoshi no koko a-i-te masu yo~). And of course, all the fans start screaming! Tsuyoshi was imitating the action of the comedian (very tall, dressed in pink vest and always sticking his chest out) in the Odori duo.

Love Love Aishiteru: Come Come Guitar Kids (with KinKi Kid's First Guitar Performance "Silent Night")

I believe this guitar performance of "Silent Night" by the KinKi Kids is their first guitar performance on TV! I recall them complaining that the first song they were taught by Takuro-san to play with their guitar is "Silent Night" and how uncool they thought it was! Lol!

This "Silent Night" performance would be on their TV show "Love Love Aishiteru" where they were taught guitar by Takuro-san, Kohnosuke Sakazaki-san (Alfee) and other musicians in the Kamu Kamu Guitar Kids segment. Indeed, without this opportunity to learn guitar, the two of them might not have become the musicians they are today.

This video clip is a superb wonderful collection of KinKi Kids' first guitar performance "Silent Night" as well as their guitar performances of Tsuyoshi's first composition "Yasashi sa wo mune ni daite" and Koichi's first composition "My Wish". Definitely a precious moment to be remembered by all KinKi Kids' fans.

090427-28: KinKi Kids in Korea to film for Domoto Brothers!!!

KinKi Kids have gone to Korea on 27-28 April 2009 to do filming for their 10 May 2009 Domoto Brothers episode. And we are lucky enough to have Korean fan who have recorded the arrival of KinKi Kids at Seoul airport, the recording of Marian (Korean version) and their departure from Seoul airport!

Domoto Brothers #384 (090419): Koichi says he can't imagine what it's like to marry someone within the group......

Edited on 22 April 2009

OMG! Koichi said something really ten-nen (天然; airhead) again this episode. The guest is a singer within a band and she married a band member.

Koichi:メンバーの中で結婚到達するって 僕らには全然イメージのわからない (Members within the same group ending up married to each other, we totally don't understand what sort of image that would be) [Interesting that he used "we" instead of "I"]

And of course, the whole set either was stunned or burst out laughing, with Tom-san being the first to burst out.

Tom-san: そりャあ そうだろうよ!(That is of course so!)

Then the camera zooms in on a bemused and resigned-looking Tsuyoshi who looks like he's trying very hard to think how to respond to Koichi's statement. Watch out for Tsuyoshi's hands as he keeps massaging them. Wonder if it's a sign of nervousness?!?! Fufufu!

Tsuyoshi: これがちょと問題ですね (If that is the case...that would be a bit of a problem)

Koichi: ないもんなぁ そんなんなぁ (No such thing...this type of thing) Koichi actually said the above sentence "nai mon naa, son nan naa" in a cute 撒娇 (maybe can translate as coquettish child-like manner) tone, stretching the "na" sound at the end of each phrase.

I don't know whether Koichi missed the point or what but that's when Tsuyoshi "breaks down" and bursts out (laughingly) at Koichi.

Tsuyoshi: だから!あったらアカンって!(Because! If there's such a thing, it's not possible!)

And our Koichi carries on laughing merrily away at being chided by his wifey......

You all must watch the video for yourself. It's very funny!!!

KKL's note: And I read from momo's website that there was one more line that was edited out! The fact that this line was edited out lends credence to the KKL fans' speculations!

Tsuyoshi: Because if that's the case, it would become very troublesome!

Now, is there really a need for Tsuyoshi to say this after he's already said the obvious which is that it's not possible for 2 males to marry each other?!? I'll leave that to your own speculation! Fufufufu!



At the end, we have the birthday celebration for Takami-san and Tsuyoshi. I wonder whose voice was singing so loudly the "Happy Birthday To You" in the background??? I hope it's Koichi!

090410: Happy 30th Birthday, Tsuyoshi!!!

Having surfed the blogs of other KK fans, everybody has already broadcasted their birthday wishes to Tsuyoshi early in the day. And I have instead left it towards the end of the day. =.= Partly cuz I only woke up at about 4 pm this afternoon! Yes, please don't be shocked. I have the talent of sleeping long hours. But partly it's cuz I fell ill yesterday evening with fever and diarrhea, but I'm fine now. And I was thinking what I wanted to do for Tsuyoshi since it's the first birthday of his that I'm celebrating. So after surfing around and seeing all the wonderful things that other fans have done for him, I've decided I shall not be over-ambitious but shall instead just write him a simple letter to send him my well wishes. Of course it'll never reach his hands, and he won't understand it even if I do send it out cuz it's in English, but still, here it goes.


Dear Tsuyoshi

Happy 30th Birthday!

It's actually the first time I'm celebrating your birthday. Hmm...how did you first capture my attention? Well, it was sometime around mid of last year when I first saw the Phi concert kisses on Youtube! Fufufu! Yes, I have to admit it was your sensational kisses to Koichi that captured my fancy! LOL!

However, seriously speaking, if it was simply that, my fascination wouldn't have lasted long. I mean, other artistes have done even more sensational and erotic things on stage, and I don't see myself even bothering to bat an eye. So what kept me on wanting to know more and more about you (and of course Koichi) and falling more and more in love with you (and of course Koichi too)?
[Side whisper: Tsuyoshi, I hope you understand that I have to mention Koichi now and then in case he thinks I'm sending a love letter to you and starts laser-eyeing me.]

On my road of discovery of KinKi Kids, I fell in love with the music of KinKi Kids - Harmony of December, Anniversary, Seppaku no tsuki (雪白の月), The Edge of the Word, Bonnie Butterfly, Snapshot, eien ni (永遠に), On the Night of a Blackout, etc etc etc. I was amazed that the pop idol duo that I thought wouldn't be able to sing well actually could sing so beautifully. Especially you, Tsuyoshi. Hearing your voice now and comparing against the voice of your younger days, I know how much effort you have put into improving your vocal skills. And I started listening to your solo works, and I was even more impressed. You can compose music and write lyrics. I am a literature student and words impress me deeply. And I was and still am totally won over by your lyrical talents. Your lyrics are beautiful, deep and meaningful. And your most recent new releases again prove your musical and literature talents.

Then, it was your strong and wonderful character. Your desire to present the genuine you to the world, your desire to live out the true you, your courage to do that, your innocence that shines forth from your eyes, your smiles and laughter from simple joys, your gentleness and sensitivity to others, your courage to walk out from your depression. In a way, I am glad that I only know you now. I am impressed by those fans who have walked with you since your youth, through your depression, through your period of silence and daze, through your rebellious and angry days, through your lost period, through the period where you didn't even want to walk out from your house for fear of being hurt and also hurting others who love you, through the days frought with rumours of the breakup of KinKi Kids, etc. Those were very tough days and it must have been very painful for you. Likewise, for the people who love you, including the fans. I am one of those lucky fans who are enjoying the sweetness of knowing you, without having to go through the bitterness. But I know those fans don't regret it, because they know you know, they know you love them.

There is so much of you that I can't seem to put down into words. I guess someone who is not a fan reading this will probably think this is just another star-crazed silly fan. I wish I can express myself better and convey to those reading this how amazing a person you really are. You are not just a star, you are Tsuyoshi, a unique individual gifted with many talents but nurturing a very sensitive soul. Your sensitive soul makes you troubled often and entraps you many a times when a more rational person would not think much of the matter, but without your sensitive soul, you would also not be who you are.

So on this 30th birthday of yours, I am glad to see a triumphant Tsuyoshi who has walked out from his lost wandering days and has now found his old self back, and my wishes to you would be that your everyday would continue to bring you hope, joy and courage to live out everyday as your true self, and to be able to see your kawaii smile reflecting geniune happiness over and over again.

With all my love
Chrissy
10 April 2009




And to commemorate my first celebration of Tsuyoshi's birthday, let me indulge myself by reviewing the photos and video clips of the sensational Phi con kisses from Tsuyoshi to Koichi!!!
[Side whisper from a stranger: Err......is this Tsuyoshi's birthday or your own birthday???
Me OS: Shhh!!! You're disturbing me!]


Kiss No. 1:
Tsuyoshi kisses Koichi on the right cheek after Koichi complained about Nagase kissing him there at the Johnny's Countdown.






Kiss No. 2:
Tsuyoshi applied a lot of the Lush lipcream (which was supposed to be the birthday present to Koichi) on his own lips, 'commanded' Koichi to close his eyes and then kissed him on the lips!!!






Kiss No. 3:
Tsuyoshi was trying to pull Koichi up from the sponge cubes, and then Koichi pulled him down instead. Tsuyoshi then pushed Koichi flat down and fell on him and kissed him!!!





Kiss No. 4:
Tsuyoshi tenderly kisses Koichi on his forehead.





Kiss No. 5:
Koichi said that his right cheek has been kissed by Nagase, his mouth and forehead by Tsuyoshi, and his left cheek is still unkissed. Tsuyoshi pretended to ignore him and then pounced on him to claim his left cheek as well!!!






Kiss No. 6:
Koichi kisses Tsuyoshi back! Finally! YEAH!!!







Harmony of December:
And finally, the so very beautiful and romantic love song they sang to each other at the Phi concert.
