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.

太陽をなでた
君のいいとこ想い出しては
だぶらせたりした
この坂でキスしたっけな
春の終わりに
別れの合図と気付いてしまった
鳴々鳴々
それでも
唄ってしまう Woo Oh Oh Oh
形のないもの全て
壊してしまいたい
君が云った 愛してるよも今じゃ
ひら ひら ひら ひらら
アームストロングのように
しゃがれた声だ
トランペットと共に君へと
鳴々鳴々
操られ 傷ついて
それでも
奏でてしまう Woo Oh Oh Oh
保証のないもの全て
壊してしまいたい
君が云ったあの約束も今じゃ
ひら ひら ひら ひらら

The lyrics of KinKi Kids's song "ひらひら" depict a nostalgic and bittersweet love story. The singer reminisces about the moments spent with their loved one, recalling moments like holding hands and touching the sun while reflecting on the good qualities of their partner. They remember kissing on a hill at the end of spring, realizing it was a signal of impending separation. Despite the pain and longing that lingers, they find solace in singing about their emotions and desire to break everything that lacks form and destroys their relationship.
The lyrics also mention a voice reminiscent of Armstrong's, referring to a hoarse voice that resonates like Armstrong's trumpet. This voice, along with the trumpet, continues to play and inflict emotional wounds on them, but they cannot resist the urge to express themselves through music. They yearn to break everything that lacks assurance, including the promises made by their loved one, which hold no guarantee anymore. In the end, they express their desire to shatter everything in their relationship that lacks form and assurance, including the love once professed and promises that now seem empty.
Overall, "ひらひら" encapsulates the complexities of love and the longing for closure, as the singer grapples with their emotions and memories while seeking to regain control and find resolution.
