Koji was suppposed to represent Japan-in water-polo-in the coming Olympics but chose to be a singer.
Kikkawa's music career began on February 1, 1984 with "Monica" (later remade in Cantonese sung by Leslie Cheung) and he won 8 music awards in the same year. After taking a short break in 1988, he came back as a lead singer in the band Complex with Tomoyasu Hotei (former guitarist of BOØWY) and "Be My Baby" was released. Complex remained as one of the most popular bands in Japan until 1990.
After "Complex", Koji released series of hit singles such as "Setsunasa O Korosenai", "Kiss Ni Utarete Nemuritai" and "Boy's Life" .
Koji completed a "20th Anniversary Tour" at Budokan on February 1, 2005.
His latest single is "One World," and is the theme for the 2006 motion picture "Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love"
More recently, he had teamed up with popular Japanese DJ TWINS to release a single "Juicy Jungle". Also, DJ TWINS had released an album with remixes of several of Koji's previous hits.
With this new sound-disco revisit, Koji had redefined himself again year after year.
Throughout all his career, Koji had outgrown from an idol to an artiste that explore the music boundary.
He writes his own songs, produced and arranged his own albums and also played most of the instruments in it.
His albums are always different through experimenting and reinventing-no doubt rock is his sound/life.
He is an icon in his own rights-be it in fashion or music.
Til now, he is renowned for his live concerts-where he sounds better live-due to his dynamic showmanship & stamina.
He had just released a remix album of his old hits-titled-DISCO K2.
Also in April 2007, a new single "BABY JANE" will be released.

The lyrics to 吉川晃司's song "Boy's Life" tell a story of youthful rebellion and longing for a more exciting and fulfilling life. The song captures the feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction that often accompany adolescence. The lyrics symbolize a desire to break free from society's expectations and explore new experiences, represented by phrases like "Coolにやろうぜ" (let's do it cool) and "何処かへ行きたい" (wanting to go somewhere). The singer also reflects on their past, wanting to return to a time when life felt more vibrant and carefree.
