Poison Kiss
工藤静香 Lyrics

Poison Kiss is a song by Kudo Shizuka, a Japanese singer and actress. The song is about a poisonous relationship that is both intoxicating and dangerous. The first verse warns about the danger of the "poison kiss" that is spreading through the body, but the chorus changes the tone to a more playful and seductive one. It tells the listener to stay with the partner and dance until morning together. The second verse addresses the consequences of not heeding to the partner's wishes, as their heart will not sleep and they will be left feeling uneasy. The chorus repeats with the same message of not giving up on the relationship and keeping the passion alive.

The lyrics of Poison Kiss are filled with metaphors and contradictions, as the relationship itself is both harmful and irresistible. The song's title itself suggests the danger of the relationship, but the lines about wanting to stay with the partner and not letting them go shows the attraction that the singer has. Similarly, the lines about the partner's mood being in a bad state contrast with the playful and carefree chorus.

The song was a hit in Japan when it was released, reaching number one on the charts. It also gained international fame when it was used as the opening theme for the anime adaptation of the manga Detective Conan. The song's catchy melody and lively beat are its main attractions, with the lyrics adding to the mystery and allure of the song.
