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 ↴
だって ずっと帰れない
恋人に会いたい
デートもしたいのに
電話さえも届かない
こんな過酷で ロマンにあふれてる
夢の仕事に僕はついている最新の
Rocketman! Rocketman!
キンキ 銀河 近未来を行くよ
Rocketman! Rocketman!
僕らの軌道
地図で確認 後は自動操縦
重力越えて
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
水星は寒くて 暖房は効かないし
ちょっと住めやしないな
金星は熱すぎて まるで蒸し風呂さ
きっと君は嫌うね
でも一人で 無重力 闇の中
泳ぐ楽しさ みんなが言う
この仕事は最先端
Rocketman! Rocketman!
時差ボケは年中
何曜? 金曜? キンキラわかんない
Rocketman! Rocketman!
僕だけの軌道
青い地球 同じ月を見てる
愛をこめて
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
恋人に会いたい
デートもしたいのに
電話さえも届かない
Rocketman! Rocketman!
流れ星をよけて
キンキ 銀河 近未来を行くよ
Rocketman! Rocketman!
僕らの軌道
地図で確認 後は自動操縦
重力越えて 今を越えて
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
The song "Rocketman" by KinKi Kids is a reflection of the struggles of a man whose job demands a lot of time and makes it difficult for him to spend time with his loved ones. The song speaks of the loneliness he feels when he is away from his lover and how it makes him yearn for the day when he can finally be with her. Despite the hardships of his situation, the man is excited about his job, and refers to it as a dream job that is filled with romanticism. He calls himself a 'Rocketman' riding on the latest technology and building his path in the galaxy.
The lyrics of the song highlight the challenges that come with being in a long-distance relationship. The singer feels left out and is unable to participate in his lover's life, and he struggles with the constant pain of separation. The song mentions different planets to denote the challenges that come with distance. The man talks about the coldness of mercury, the unbearable heat on Venus, and his loneliness swimming in the dark void of space. He makes it clear that he longs for the day when he can return to Earth and spend time with his lover.
In summary, "Rocketman" deals with the harsh realities of long-distance relationships and the despair that comes with being unable to spend time with loved ones. It is a plea for closeness and intimacy, and the need to be with the people we love.
