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.

最近暑いですな
皆様いかがお過ごしでしょうか It's been really hot recently.
How has everybody been?
７月２１日で我々も１５周年を迎えます
１０周年の時東京ドームでイベントをしてからもう５年
21 July - we greet the coming of our 15th anniversary
It has been 5 years since our 10th anniversary performance at Tokyo Dome.
Today is the 13th anniversary of KinKi Kids' album debut! おめでとう Omedeto!
No time to prepare anything special, so I've decided to just collate some of the blog headers I have done up over the last 2 years! I think there's more but I don't know which folder I've saved them into......My KinKi Kids' archive is already using nearly 70% of my 1 TG portable hark disk!
And last but not least, some photos of our super cute KinKi Kids during their junior days!
Tsuyoshi with his kawaii monkey imitation and Koichi with his I don't know what to imitate look! Hahahahaha!
And this is a hilarious photo of them impersonating as ugly girls! It never fails to make me laugh!
Tsuyoshi's sweet and yet so funny love song to Koichi for his 31st birthday!
The Tokyo Dome birthday cake with the lotus flower shaped musical candle and the whisper-sung Happy Birthday song! What wonderful memories this ML invokes!!!
The birthday game hosted by Tsuyoshi that finally led to his greeting "O tanjyobi omedeto"!
I'm sure nearly all KK fans would know about KinKi Kids' surprise onsen trip in 2002 to commemorate their 10th anniversary! This was broadcasted on Koichi's variety show, Japan Walker, over 2 episodes.
Throughout the show, it was mentioned that Tsuyoshi had something to say to Koichi, but right up to the end of the show, he never said it. In fact, many fans felt that Koichi was very tensed up during this filming as he might have been afraid that what Tsuyoshi wanted to say was that he wanted to disband KinKi Kids. At that time, there was apparently a huge furore in Japan over whether KinKi Kids should or should not disband. Up to now, I still cannot understand how fans can actually just like one but not the other. I love both of them and I love their solo too, but just like what they say, KinKi Kids is home to them. How can fans desire the destruction of their home?!?! By the very fact that KinKi Kids are still together for 7-8 years since then, we know that they themselves will not let go. In fact, Tsuyoshi has recently stated in a magazine interview for Nov this year that "光一が「解散したい」て言わない限り 僕は解散しないです。" (Unless Koichi says "I wish to disband", otherwise I will not disband.)
Anyway, I've digressed......
What exactly did Tsuyoshi want to say to Koichi during that onsen trip? We know that Tsuyoshi actually drew a picture and wrote out what he wanted to say to Koichi, but most of the video clips available now do not have that picture. I was lucky enough to download a video clip that had that picture and have taken a screen cap to post it here to share with those who have never seen it.
A rough translation of Tsuyoshi's words would be: "When I see Koichi's face, I am unable to say it directly to him...Thank you. - Tsuyoshi"
At the end of their onsen trip, when they were eating grilled seafood in the seaside onsen, Tsuyoshi initiated a handshake pattern with Koichi. I recall reading on another KK fan's blog that it was the same pattern as that done by Koichi in the drama "Homeless Child 2". I managed to find the handshake pattern in that drama:
1st pattern: Koichi clasps the hand of the girl like a handshake and says:
I will protect you
2nd pattern: Their hands then reclasp together like in a fist pattern and the girl says:
I will protect you
3rd pattern: Their thumbs meet together and both say:
We will be together till death
When I looked at Tsuyoshi's handshake pattern with Koichi, the first 2 patterns are indeed the same - "I will protect you" but the last pattern is different. I guess only the 2 of them will ever know what the last pattern means.
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.
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.
OMG！OMG! OMG! Everybody must watch this episode of Domoto Brothers.
In "To Heart", Ryoko had a line where with her hands cupped against her mouth, she shouted to Tsuyoshi that "Love is power dayo!". Tsuyoshi said that he felt shy on hearing this line.
Right at the end after the advertisements, Tsuyoshi did a rendition of this line, except that he was not calling out to Ryoko. He was calling out to Koichi!!! He cupped his hands against his mouth and called out in a sweet voice (I can swoon):
And look at Kochan's face! His "melting snow" smile is all out! I'm sure Koichi must have been charged with full power after this DB for his Endless Shock performances! Fufufu!
This will definitely be remembered together with the Phi Concert kisses, Phi Concert Harmony of December and DB's chopstick episode!!! Fufufu!
