sweet , can't wait to hear J album . This will be the 1st album I'm going to listen to of the guys

[TITANIC]

do they have a #1 strike for album?

[ayumisrael]

I know that their 6th album "F" was #2.
Since then they had 4 #1 studio albums.

nope but singles wise , hell yes

29 straight #1 singles from 1997 debut single Glass no Shounen all the way to their most recent single Swan Song which was just released last Wed D:

I'm curious to see what they're going to do for a 30th single . They had a -20th.memorial version- of their 20th single Anniversary which was included in the single so yup

[NintendoHTF1242]

They name their albums in such an original manner!

[vampireknightzero]

OH!!!!!!
Thanks a lot for the info!!!

I'm so excited yeah and finally a new album!!

And yes I hope there'll be something different for their 30th single, probably another Anniversary type of song or something~

And I remember last time I was so afraid that 'F' album will be their 'Final' album..lucky that is not the case =.=

yeah I'm so happy that they're releasing J album after 2007's Phi

I'm a bit worried whether is this gonna be their last album/single because you know Swan Song @_@ & then Koichi will be gearing up for ENDLESS SHOCK next Feb & then July once more

& OH he will be releasing his 2nd solo album next year too *______________________________* after 2006's mirror

anyway YES I can't wait for both to happen

[vampireknightzero]

I definitely hope this is not the last album or fans will cry! After J will be K, K album should have a significant meaning since they are KinKi Kids..haha one sided thinking here

Oh yah i hope koichi will release another Shock compilation since some great perf songs are not found anywhere except in his shock performances

[KarenPang]

lol seca @ http://never-ending-music-power.blogspot.com/ wrote this

It does make me wonder what happens if Kinki Kids ever gets through the full alphabet for their albums. Though I guess by the time they would probably manage that it would be time for them to retire.



anyway for Koichi's case , yes I welcome another solo album from him . mirror was amazing at the end of the day despite him being a blockhead xD

covers of J album

CD + DVD



CD



T_T T_T T_T T_T @ the CD + DVD

luckily I'm getting the CD only in due time (hopefully)

[vampireknightzero]

Somehow I like the CD + DVD better

The CD only cover looks a bit scary to me in a certain sense..

[KarenPang]

LOL

Tsuyoshi scares me there but the CD + DVD cover looks so ayam brand to me

I think I can come up with it using Microsoft Powerpoint xD

will you be getting the album or not ar

[aqua_crystal]

I'm too scared to try these guys out I think the reason is obvious

[KarenPang]

LOL why Alicia ? they're the 2nd best selling Johnny's act of all time behind SMAP & the fact that they have 29 straight no 1 hit singles from their debut single Glass no Shounen til their most recent one Swan Song is saying something

somemore their solo stuff are so completely different from their group effort & they both composed/wrote a lot to a certain extent but I prefer Koichi's solo material a bit more because it's more radio friendly

Tsuyoshi , can be really out there & waay too experimental @_@

LEMME GUESS. their name? XD

i had the same assumption. but then, when you're studying Japanese language & culture, you find out there's a region named "Kinki" in Japan. LOL. it's where they're from.

but i do recommend their music! while it's in the idol pop genre, it's good idol pop, imo. but they venture to many different genres too. rock, dance, fierce 90s-esque music, etc.

[KarenPang]

haha I was o_O initally , I was like wtf KinKi Kids especially it doesn't help when you pronounced KinKi = Kinky xD

but when I get that outta the way , I began to realise what great music they do & you can tell a certain standard that they have set since debuting on the scene 12 years ago

& oh Alicia the reason as to why they're being called KinKi Kids's (the name's given by SMAP's leader Nakai Masahiro so blame that on him LOL) is because they both hail from the Kinki region like what Eirynne has mentioned

They share the same surname ie. Domoto but they're not unrelated by blood

previous names they had before KinKi Kids include Johnny's Kansai Group, Domoto Brothers and W Domoto before being introduced as Kanzai Boya by the end of the year 1992

LOLLLL , Kanzai Boya -_-''' & I don't know what does W stands for in W Domoto too T_T

Domoto Brothers sounded much better to me imo , KinKi Kids is just & they're not kids anymore , they have both turned 30 officially this year lmao

[vampireknightzero]

THEY ARE REALLY GOOD!!!!!!! Listen to them and you won't regret haha!

I have to say they really have a good selection of songs! they are one of the JE groups who are really musically focused~ They composed some of their songs, own solo songs, production is also done by them..they are so talented!
oops sorry, i tend to get really excited when I talked about them

And i really love Koichi's composition..

I like some of Tsuyoshi's works, especially his 1st few solo albums..After that, I need to learn to appreciate his new styles~~it's just too...hmm..creative? haha.

Yes..I think they themselves are also embarrassed of the word 'Kids'~

[KarenPang]

^

actually ar I feel both of them are extremely talented be it together or from each other

but seems to me Koichi tends to compose a lot more than Tsuyoshi ? I'm not sure but there's a certain standard that this duo has set in the talent agency which you can feel when you listen to their music as compared to let's say I don't know NEWS

it's weird I say because I always associate Koichi as being the more stupid one since he spaced out a lot when he's at home

no wonder he got Pan Pan in March this year to keep him company because I don't think there will be any women out there suitable for him

[vampireknightzero]

Personally one of my favourite songs of theirs is Solitude ～Honto no sayonara. At that time, the composer of the song is known as K.Dino. I was wondering who this fellow was cos I really love the song. Eventually Koichi' confessed' that he is actually K.Dino. I was really shocked! I was thinking 'omg he is so talented~~' Then subsequently i began to follow his solo songs, Shock perf songs etc etc. Those were the times..haha

Btw Pan Pan is really cute~ But I just find it funny that he kept on praising her on tv shows! Koichi loves cats, so he probably find a dog which is small and resembles a cat~

[KarenPang]

are you sure that Koichi likes cats ? I thought he said that he prefer dogs ? & he kept talking about Pan Pan non stop LOL

but yeah she's cute & fits his personality well xD
