A Lump of Love

Since it’s a self-produced song by the two of them, created when they were just 22, it’s a hugely popular classic among fans, so I imagine many people actually sing it, right? In particular, falls are a highly effective technique for creating a bittersweet, ballad-like atmosphere, and if you imitate their singing style, they’ll likely come out naturally.

I think it’s especially good to reference Tsuyoshi’s singing more than Koichi’s.

Always sing as if you’re exhaling, with the image of dropping the pitch at the end of phrases.

Be careful not to constrict your throat too much.

KinKi Kids “Garasu no Shōnen” Music Video

KinKi Kids’ classic hit “Glass no Shōnen.” The song was composed by singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, and if you listen closely, you can definitely hear his signature style in places.

The track is notable for its soaring vocals, but the range is fairly narrow—mid1 E to mid2 G—so as long as you set the key appropriately, it’s easy to sing for both men and women.

The melody has a somewhat retro Showa-era feel, so if you’ve mastered vibrato, it will significantly elevate the quality of your performance.

KinKi Kids「Anniversary」Music Video

This song, with its striking exotic intro, was released as a single in 2004 and is a supreme love ballad that sings of straightforward love.

The lyrics, which say that even ordinary days are precious, seem to remind us once again of what happiness truly is.

For men with an average vocal range, the notes are within reach, and above all, many will find the melody line simple and easy to sing.

Its relaxed ballad tempo also makes it easier to perform, letting you check each pitch and rhythm as you sing.

KinKi Kids “Flower” Music Video

This million-selling song by KinKi Kids was used as the theme for ANA’s Okinawa campaign commercial.

Its straightforward message is compelling: life isn’t only about hardship; if we join forces, beautiful flowers are sure to bloom.

Released in May 1999, the shamisen heard during the interlude evokes the open, breezy atmosphere of Okinawa, the campaign’s setting.

It’s a warm, encouraging track that gently supports those who are taking on a challenge but feeling a bit worn out, giving them a nudge to try again.

It’s also perfect for a drive with friends!

This work features melodies infused with elements of folk music and beautifully melancholic harmonies.

It portrays the burning spirit of striving to live strongly in the face of hardship and the importance of holding on to hope.

With the clear, transparent vocals of Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto delivering a powerful message, the song was released in February 2001 and left a deep impression on viewers as the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama “Arata Mukai’s Animal Diary: The Misfortunes of Rosinante.” It’s a song that gives you the courage to take a step forward—when you’re worn out from trying so hard, or when you’re about to embark on something new.
