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.

KinKi Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そっと覗き込む横顔は
まるで知らない人だね
すれちがってく他人みたいに
離れそう...
愛をたしかめる言葉ほど
シラケさせるものはない
キミが悲しい
ほろ苦いくらいでイイ
甘い恋を笑ってた
でもキミはちがってた
やっと気づいたよ
キミだけの甘いものになろう
ゆっくりとゆっくりととろける
クチビルから心へ届く
Like a chocolate...
キミだけの僕になろう
Like a chocolate...
きっと僕の方が先だった
よそ見して歩きながら
つないでいた手は永遠と
思い込んでた
恋は甘くはないのに
キミと言う楽園の中で
ずっと甘えてたのは
僕の方だね
言葉と心はつながらなくて
まっすぐに正直になれない
キミの事思うたび僕は
Like a chocolate...
陽だまりでとけるのに
売れない詩人のように
愛を語ればいいのか
それとも正直に
言えばいいのか...
キミだけの甘いものになろう
やすらぐ思いをあげたい
クチビルから心へ届く
Like a chocolate...
甘いチョコになって
何度も 何度も言おう
愛してる 愛してるって言おう
キミを甘い僕でくるんで
Like a chocolate...
閉じ込めてはなさない
Like a chocolate...
The lyrics of KinKi Kids's song "Bittershocola" talks about a love that is sweet yet bitter with the idea of individuals potentially parting ways just like strangers when they cross paths. The lyrics emphasize that there is no word that confirms love; instead, such words can make it wither. It talks about how walking outside is not happiness, but the person who was beside them is. The love was initially sweet, and they laughed about it, but then they realize that the person they love is different from others, and they want to become their sweetest thing. The lyrics focus on how love is like a chocolate that can melt from the lips to reach the heart slowly.
The song talks about the struggles of expressing love honestly and how it seems easier to write about it like "a failed poet." However, they realize that they want to become a sweet thing for the person they love and explain how they want to express their love honestly and become their safe haven. The song emphasizes the idea that love is not always sweet, but they want to make it sweet for the person they love.
Line by Line Meaning
そっと覗き込む横顔は
Looking at your profile sneakily...
まるで知らない人だね
... makes it seem like I don't know you at all
すれちがってく他人みたいに
We pass each other like strangers
離れそう...
And we seem to be growing apart
愛をたしかめる言葉ほど
Nothing kills the mood more than words meant to confirm love
シラケさせるものはない
They just make everything dry and dull
シアワセより外を歩いてる
You're walking outside of happiness
キミが悲しい
And it makes me sad to see it
ほろ苦いくらいでイイ
A sweet love affair tinged with bitterness is just fine
甘い恋を笑ってた
I used to laugh at sweet romances
でもキミはちがってた
But you're not like that
やっと気づいたよ
I finally realized
キミだけの甘いものになろう
I want to be the sweet thing that's only yours
ゆっくりとゆっくりととろける
Slowly melting away
クチビルから心へ届く
Sending shivers from lips to heart
陽だまりでとけるのに
Melting away like sunlight
キミだけの僕になろう
I want to be just yours
きっと僕の方が先だった
And I'm pretty sure I fell for you first
よそ見して歩きながら
As we walk while looking away
つないでいた手は永遠と
I thought that holding hands was forever
思い込んでた
But I was wrong
恋は甘くはないのに
Love isn't always sweet
キミと言う楽園の中で
But with you, in this paradise
ずっと甘えてたのは
It's just always easy to depend on you
僕の方だね
More than it is for me, right?
言葉と心はつながらなくて
Our words and our hearts can't seem to connect
まっすぐに正直になれない
I can't be honest and straightforward
キミの事思うたび僕は
Whenever I think of you
陽だまりでとけるのに
Melting away like sunlight
売れない詩人のように
Am I supposed to speak of love like an unsuccessful poet?
愛を語ればいいのか
Or should I just express myself honestly?
それとも正直に
Which is the right way?
やすらぐ思いをあげたい
I just want to give you peace of mind
甘いチョコになって
So let me be sweet chocolate
何度も 何度も言おう
And declare my love for you again and again
愛してる 愛してるって言おう
I love you, I love you, I'll say it over and over
キミを甘い僕でくるんで
I'll envelop you in my sweet self
閉じ込めてはなさない
But I won't lock you up
