Both joined Johnny's in 1991 and they made their debut in 1997 with their single Glass no Shounen, which made them a number one on the hit chart ORICON for many weeks and sold well over 1,000,000 copies. They are also listed in the Guinness Book of Records, where they are credited with having most number of consecutive singles that debuted at #1 on their charts. As of August 2022, all 45 of their singles have ranked at #1.

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.

Happy Happy Greeting
KinKi Kids Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

星が沈む海に太陽がのぼる
光の矢の中で君を抱いていた
生きてるって素晴らしいね
君がそばにいると違う
古い過去は捨てて
時のページめくるように
今未来へ走れ

Oh! Happy, happy, greeting
おめでとうおめでとう
New year 何かが始まる
きっといいことある予感で胸がさわぐよ
Oh! Happy, happy, greeting
おめでとうおめでとう
Birthday! ロウソク消そうよ
君と生きていると
毎日夢が生まれる誕生日

高い壁を築き孤独に慣れてた (loneliness)
やさしい手がぼくをひっぱり出すまで
君は奇跡悩みを消し
ぼくに勇気わけてくれた
古い自分捨てて
目覚めるたび生まれ変わる (目覚めるたび生まれ変わる)
ぼくを見ててほしい

Oh! Happy, happy, greeting
おめでとうおめでとう
Valentine! 確かめあおうよ
甘くとろけそうな時間の流れのそこで
Oh! Happy, happy, greeting
おめでとうおめでとう
Wedding! 結ばれあおうよ
夢はまだ小鳥さ
大事に育ててゆこういつまでも

Together, together
Forever, forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KinKi Kids' song "Happy Happy Greeting" express a sense of joy and gratitude for life's milestones and the presence of loved ones. The opening lines of the song paint a vivid picture of a sun rising over a sea where stars are sinking, and describe holding someone close in the midst of an arrow of light. The lyrics also describe the act of letting go of the past and turning the pages of time to run towards the future. The chorus repeats the phrase "Happy Happy Greeting" to celebrate different occasions: New Year, birthdays, Valentine's Day, weddings, and life in general.

The song also touches on themes of loneliness and the transformative power of love and friendship. The lyrics describe how the singer was used to building high walls around himself and getting used to loneliness until someone kind came along and pulled him out. This person is described as a miracle who banished worries and gave the singer courage. The lyrics suggest that by changing oneself and being open to new experiences, one can be reborn each time they awaken.

本人の声だったら消されるし
本人の声を使うのは踊ってみたぐらいだから
カバーって書いてなくても
踊ってみたじゃないなら
カバーだって思った方がいいと思う

それを書く前に歌声に対する評価は
書かないのかと思う
だってコメント欄って
アドバイスとか個人的な評価を
書く所だと僕は思ってるから

長文ごめんなさい
気を悪くしたらごめんなさい

〚以下個人的な感想〛
歌声が綺麗で聞き入ってしまう
某歌い手さん同様 KinKiオンリーだから
KinKiの歌ってみたはその２つで
見つかる
歌は上手いし比較的似てるし
歌った曲が多いから求めた曲は
ほぼ絶対的に見つかる
だからCDを買うお金のない
僕からしたら凄く嬉しい
オリ振りで踊る時この音源を
使わせてもらってる
もちろん投稿するほどじゃないから
投稿なんてしてないけど
これからも応援してます
