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.

TO NIGHT
廃屋の薔薇闇に揺れる
破滅と秘密濡らして

欲しいものを手探りながら
抱き合って落ちていたい

Oh SAY I LOVE YOU

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Rambling Rose" by 吉川晃司, a Japanese singer and actor, depict a passionate and lustful encounter between two individuals who are seeking something more than the mundane and boring day-to-day routine of their lives. The song begins by describing a deserted, abandoned building in which a rose seems to be swaying in the dark. This rose, symbolizing passion and risk-taking behavior, is the perfect metaphor for what the singer is hoping for in his encounter with his lover. He wants to embrace his partner and fall into a passionate night together, fueled by the desire to find something more in their lives.

As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to describe the sinful and forbidden aspects of their relationship. Despite knowing what they are doing is considered taboo, they are both drawn to each other and cannot resist the temptation. The singer notes that they both share a sense of loneliness, and it is this shared trait that brings them together. They are both people who are lost and wandering, looking for something that will make them feel alive again.

The chorus repeats the phrase "SAY LOVE YOU" multiple times, emphasizing the importance of expressing one's affection to their partner. The singer is willing to risk everything for this one moment, as they both take a chance and pursue love in a fleeting moment of passion.
