Although it was their debut song, the first single “Glass no Shonen” became a million seller and is still known today as one of KinKi Kids’ signature tracks.

Its melancholic lyrics and melody created a powerful impact that set it apart from previous Johnny’s group songs.

The key is low and the vocal range isn’t wide, but the distinctive melodic line makes it easy to go off pitch right from the opening, so be careful.

Including the dance, it’s a catchy number that’s sure to hype things up when you sing it with friends.
