From the opening chant, this cheerful KinKi Kids number whisks you straight into summer mode.

It bursts with energetic charm that blows your worries away as brightly as the sun.

Grounded in Latin pop, the horn section and steel pans carry a tropical breeze and create an irresistible groove.

Released in June 2000, it captured many hearts as the theme song for the drama “Summer Snow,” starring Tsuyoshi Domoto.

It drew fresh attention again in 2023 as a McDonald’s commercial song.

KinKi Kids “I Want to Love Rather Than Be Loved” Music Video

Released in November 1997, this is KinKi Kids’ second single.

It was written as the theme song for the NTV drama “Bokura no Yuuki: Miman City,” starring Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto in dual lead roles.

Coming right after their debut single “Garasu no Shonen” sold around two million copies, it was truly a make-or-break release.

The lyrics were penned by Hiromi Mori, with music composed by Koji Makaino.

Set to a sleek, urban dance beat, it powerfully portrays a young person’s resolve to take the initiative in love rather than remain passive.

Even while chafing at a reality that doesn’t go their way, the determination to keep moving forward by continuing to care for someone is deeply affecting.

It debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and became a hit with cumulative sales topping 1.64 million.

It’s a song I’d especially recommend to anyone who feels clumsy in love but wants to take that first step.

“Silver Cipher” is a track included on the album “φ.” The lyrics were written by Tsuyoshi Domoto and the music composed by Koichi Domoto.

Until now, the album titles had always been arranged in alphabetical order, but with this release—marking ten years since their debut and the start of their eleventh year—the title was chosen to signify a second debut.

It’s a beautiful number where Tsuyoshi’s portrayal of an alluring woman intertwines with Koichi’s melody, which envelops and colors the words.
