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 ↴
Just get up,
Don't give up, Believe you.
Without losing pure feelings.
Just get up, Just get up.
Just get up,
Don't give up, Believe you.
Without losing pure eyes.
あのサーチライト
覚めたくないこのまま 光の方へ
時間がただ続くように
人生も続いてく
見果てぬ明日の先へ
明けない闇に脅え
誇りを無くしかけても
傷の数だけ強くなれる この夜から
涙、ひとひら もう一度抱きしめて
還らない夢を
涙、ひとひら 哀しみを零して
汚れない瞳で
誰もが信じて誓うよ
無垢なままのMy Heart
Just get up, Just get up.
Just get up,
Don't give up, Believe you.
Without losing pure feelings.
Just get up, Just get up.
Just get up,
Don't give up, Believe you.
Without losing pure eyes.
We Can Go Now そう誰かが
諦めた夢達
集めたらもう一度 形にして
予感がただするままに
この道を歩いてく
自分との約束で
厚い雲を撃ち抜く
願いの矢がなくても
あの日見上げた空は今も
焼きついてる
涙、ひとひら 夜風に舞い上がれ
過ぎゆく季節よ
涙、ひとひら 誰かを守るため
それでも生きるよ
大地に足跡刻んで
心の奥に一粒残る
ダイヤのように
色褪せぬまま 仄かに光る
希望の欠片
涙、ひとひら もう一度抱きしめて
還らない夢を
涙、ひとひら 哀しみを零して
汚れない瞳で
誰もが信じて誓うよ
無垢なままのMy Heart
Just get up, Just get up.
Just get up,
Don't give up, Believe you.
Without losing pure feelings.
Just get up, Just get up.
Just get up,
Don't give up, Believe you.
Without losing pure eyes.
Just get up, Just get up...
The lyrics of KinKi Kids's song 涙ひとひら (Namida Hitohira) encourage the listener to keep going and to never give up, even when facing adversity.

The song urges the listener to embrace their dreams, even if they seem out of reach, and to believe in themselves and their own potential.
Throughout the song, there is a repeated refrain of "涙ひとひら" (namida hitohira), which translates to "one teardrop."

It speaks about walking a difficult path, but remaining committed to one's own goals and promises. Finally, the song concludes by urging the listener to keep moving forward, leaving their mark on the world, and leaving behind a legacy that is meaningful and inspiring to others.
