Widely known in Japan, the KinKi Kids are very popular among girls of all ages, and their subscription concerts even draw boys. Not only do they sing, but they are also talented actors, having appeared in popular dramas, movies, and commercials both alone and together. For example, Tsuyoshi played a part in Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo and Summer Snow, and Koichi was in Remote as well as Sushi Ouji. However, despite their shared surnames, they are in fact completely unrelated and hail from two different prefectures in the Kinki region.
KinKi Kids are signed and promoted by Johnny and Associates. Other well-known Johnny and Associates groups include SMAP, TOKIO, V6, NEWS, and Arashi.

いつも僕は恋するんだろう
KinKi Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Dice)
Juz' call me first born, you're my first love,
You're my 1st kiss from up above.
And I don't care if you don't give love back
Coz' n my heart is where your ass is at.
I love your eyes , your nose & your tender lips,
I go crazy when you shake those sexy hips.
Baby girl you're the 1 I can't resist.
You know I love you from the very start, I don't care if you break my heart.
I'm the man & I'm here for you, believe me coz' my love is true.
CHORUS
(Sashi)
Itsumo kokoro we hoshi itstuka
Dare katu mata koi nei utchitimu
Itsumo kokoro nei eiro itsumo
Anata dake no basho ga aru kara
(K9)
You wanna get down with k-n-i-n-e, make sure that's pure l-o-v-e
Never talk about the i-c-e coz' I only got my h-e-a-r-t for y-o-u
I can't pay the bills for dinner, I juz' give them my IOU
For sure, I'm not after f-u-c-k, got no b-a-d intentions don't wanna play girl,
Maybe we might spot a UFO, wait, that's not part of the rhyme juz' felt like sayin' so
You gotta know that I love from the start till f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
Repeat chorus
(Dice)
Baby girl be my first lady, be the mom of my first baby
You didn't like me when you first show me, I'll be gentle I'll do it slowly.
(K9)
Girl, I think it's better if you was with me, I got doe coz' I juz' won the spelling bee
For you, I got all the t-i-m-e Ask mommies to pass but I'm not so sure
Juz' doin' my on thing, shits more expensive than your fancy gold rings,
I don't mean dissin' coz' I gots to go there, mommies don't care,
All for them ladies, even chicks with nose rings.
Repeat chorus twice
The song "Itsumo" by KinKi Kids is a charming love song that describes the unwavering feelings of the singers towards their significant others. The lyrics of the song, sung by Dice and K9, emphasize the purity and sincerity of their love, with K9 even mentioning that he doesn't care about material things, as he only has his heart for the girl he loves. Despite the possibility of rejection or a broken heart, both Dice and K9 sing about their unflinching devotion and desire to be with their partners. In the chorus, Sashi sings about how the person they love is the only one they care about and the only place they want to be, emphasizing the depth of their feelings.
The lyrics of "Itsumo" are a testament to the unbridled happiness and loyalty one can experience in a loving relationship. The song reflects the Japanese culture's attention to formality and politeness in expressing emotions, with the lyrics neither too explicit nor too vague. The innovative use of rap within the song ties together the message of the lyrics and the upbeat tune. The song is an example of how Japanese pop groups create their distinctive sound by combining different musical genres, resulting in catchy tunes that resonate with their audience.
