AISubs v3.5
This year, I, Saito Takumi, met Kinki Kids for the first time and had them take photos for me.
It all started with a TV show shoot.
I'm a Kinki generation.
I was drawn to their unique atmosphere and wanted to take photos with them.
This is nice!
Why are we attracted to them?
It's been almost 20 years since their debut.
SONGS
The two of them captured on camera and their unadorned words.
Exploring the secrets of Kinki Kids' charm.
Excuse me.
This time, we dared to talk to them separately.
They sincerely shared their feelings for each other.
I'm sure fans want you to get along with each other.
But I don't think getting along with each other is everything in creating one entertainment or one work.
I just want you to do what you want to do.
I wonder why you don't realize that it's love from afar.
The two of them are 15 years old and already top idols.
The girls in their class always talked about them.
Even before their CD debut, their first concert was Budokan.
Popularity exploded.
What were they thinking at the time?
Well, it was tough.
But I took it for granted.
I realized at a young age that I would cause a lot of trouble if I did something wrong.
I knew that people were lying and being used because I was making money.
I realized that I was doing it for myself and that people weren't doing it for themselves.
That's how I saw adults.
His debut song "glass boy" was written by Takashi Matsumoto and composed by Tatsuro Yamashita.
It is a song that defines the image of "goldfish kids" by depicting youthfulness and brilliance.
It's a song that makes you think "this song is difficult even for adults" and it's a high-level song.
I still feel the message of "do your best" that he gave us at first.
It's like a fragile thing.
It's like a fragile thing that will break if you touch it.
It's weird to say it myself, but it's like a delicate thing.
I think it hasn't changed since then.
I think it's okay for people to feel a little bit of danger.
A dancing bassist, you are embraced by someone
You stand still and pretend to look at me
Fingers shining on fingers are such small stones
You paint over the future and you are sad
My heart is a cracked B-diamond
When I look into it, you are upside down
Stay with me
The glass is young
The flame that pierces through the glass is a machine gun
I turn my back on you, a dancing bassist
My heart is like a cracked beat-em-saw
When I peek in, you're upside down
Stay with me
I'm a glass boy
I only have memories of you
Because I have pain, I shine
My blue days shine
Stay with me
The glass boy's age
The wind pierces my heart
Something ends and begins
The clouds break and illuminate me
In parallel with Kinky Kids' activities, the world of their solo activities is symmetrical.
Kouichi's solo live shows up gracefully.
Dance, lighting and direction are meticulously calculated for entertainment.
On the other hand, what Tsuyoshi chose as a world where he could express himself was punk music.
They master the instruments themselves and interact with skilled musicians.
Thank you for your hard work.
This year, for the first time in 21 years, they wished for a Budokan live show.
They tried to look at rehearsals to see how completely different personalities could create one stage.
Kouichi's personality was often shown in dance rehearsals.
Until he was convinced, he thoroughly investigated the detailed choreography.
Let me hear it one more time.
Kouichi's personality was often shown in dance rehearsals.
It's too late for this.
I want to go home smoothly.
Kouichi's personality was often shown in dance rehearsals.
I'm just anxious about making it.
If I don't raise the minimum that I can show my audience,
it's scary for me.
The more I've practiced and done it,
the higher it is,
and the more I can express it.
That's my way of thinking.
On the other hand, Tsuyoshi's rehearsal was the exact opposite of Goichi's.
Let's do it a few more times.
Let's do an auto-tuned session.
Let's think about it.
Let's do "e" or something.
Without deciding anything,
they put sounds on a white canvas.
It seemed like they were looking for something born from scratch.
We prepare a guidebook of some sort,
and then we travel as we like.
Tsuyoshi's style is the opposite of Goichi's,
where he builds up detailed productions one by one.
It's music with freedom and momentum.
It's because they're two completely different people
that they each have their own characters.
If you push it too far, you won't be a major group.
If what you do alone and what you do together doesn't have color or contrast, you should stop either of them.
So when I do it alone, it's a world where a coach can't enter.
I don't force him to do it like this.
If you don't do it in a world where a coach can't enter, I don't think it makes sense for you to do it alone.
I think it's the other way around.
He should do in a world where I can't enter.
So when it's just the two of us, it's an image of establishing a world where artists other than the two of us can't enter.
September 29th, first day of Mudokan.
The expressions of the two of them just before the show were also symmetrical.
I haven't finished my costume yet.
What?
My costume.
What?
He's still sewing it now.
See, he's sewing it.
It's about to start.
Can I use a safety pin?
No, no, no.
It'll be over soon.
I don't hate it.
It'll be over soon.
In a good way, there's a sense of tension, right?
And now, it's finally time for the show.
If I could take your hand and run away, I wouldn't be stopped like that.
From their debut to now, all of their singles have won first place on the charts.
It's filled with the brilliant history of Kinki Kids.
And now, it's the solo segment where their personalities stand out.
The current Kinki Kidz look is reflected in the song "Rose and Sun".
Tsuyoshi plays the guitar and Koichi dances.
Even though they do different things, their world is one.
I think Kinki can do anything, and if Kinki does it, it will be Kinki.
I think Kinki has come that far.
It's a place with great discoveries.
There are a lot of really nice songs, so I think Kinki is a place where you can sing them and challenge yourself while studying in them.
Bloom in the blue sky (boys and girls)
Bloom in the night sky (boys and girls)
Burn it all away (boys and girls)
Like a love shadow that's been stabbed
A black shadow that's been stabbed, like a carpenter's knife
The sweat shining in my fist is the white shield of life
If I remove the cork, is it okay for me to die?
At the entrance of the carnival, you reached out for my hand
If we look at each other beyond the color of the cork, it's already a human line
Like travelers who have lost their destination
The taste of youth that remains in someone else's mouth is different
I pretended to be dead before I got scratched, vacuumer
From the park to the beach, men are at the harbor.
Passing through the red cake, aiming for a moment of peace,
I'm looking for the answer hidden in the glass.
Even tonight when my fingers are cut off, I'm being sucked in.
I don't know why, but your red rose
is the light I dedicated in place of death.
Even if it's only for the sake of saying goodbye,
if you loved and were loved, isn't that enough?
Vacuumer
On September 7th, "Suddenly, but..."
Kinki Kids Live!
Kinki Kids have met for over 20 years.
Both of them are 37 years old.
What do they think of each other?
He's a unique person.
For me...
He's someone I don't know much about.
Dancing and singing...
That's fine, but...
I think it's natural for people...
To enjoy him.
I think that's the biggest point for me.
The song they cherish so much...
Kinki Kids Live!
15 years ago, Kouji wrote the song...
And Tsuyoshi wrote the lyrics.
In this song...
I can feel their true selves.
For me...
When we sing a song like this...
I feel like it's going to be a great song.
I think it's because...
I understand what "kinki" means.
I don't think "kinki kids" is...
Something someone makes you do or make you do.
What makes them laugh...
What they like...
I want "kinki kids" to shape that.
A mysterious unity born when two people come together.
At the same time, there is a risk of individuality colliding and being born.
Because the opposing elements intertwine complexly, we can't take our eyes off of each other.
What is "kinky kids"?
The answer is in the song they wrote.
When you embrace me with all your heart, my heart sings "I'm glad I met you".
Days are so short that we don't even need Christmas.
Tomorrow and the day after that, we'll love each other, won't we?
"I'm glad I met you".
You, who is too worried, are chasing me on the train.
I'm happy like a weak girl.
When I feel the same self-consciousness as you in the city,
I want to keep up with you because I can recover my body in an instant.
There are too many things I want to tell you and show you.
Because words and gestures are for you only.
I want to hug you as much as I can and sing "I'm glad I met you" in my heart.
I don't need Christmas.
The days are piled up again and again and we love each other tomorrow and the day after that.
No matter how much we fight, no matter how much we lose our values,
there are times when we can make a smile in a second.
I want you to be more beautiful than any shape you show me.
I want you to be more beautiful than this winter.
If love is too big, you'll lose it.
I wish I could live like I do now, but I'm discouraged.
Hey, it's snowing.
A spoiled face like a child's
A face that suddenly becomes manly
For me, everything is a treasure
No matter how many times I let you have it
My heart is held tight
I'm glad I met you
I don't need Christmas
The sweet and dark days have become lumps of love
I met the last person, didn't I?
Thank you for watching.
