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 ↴
キミを見つめた その瞬間
Noise Line 愛に走った
・・・そんなような気がした
不意に襲う 眩暈を感じ
ほんの少し 遠のく意識
見たことない景色が高速で
脳裏を侵してく
云う確信を ボクには
持てなくなってしまった
知らぬ間に 組み込まれてたChip
Reload された
What's your iD?
0と1で作り上げられた世界じゃ
Lensに映る モノも信じられない
What's my iD?
Digitalの渦のなかで・・・
多分・・・Bugがボクに与えた
Error だったのかもしれない
制御出来ないDigitalのちから
本能で感じた
強く抱いても Realに
Kissをしても キミには
何も届かぬ気がした
知らぬ間に 入れ替えられたChip
Reset された
Called your iD.
0 と 1 で Program された運命に
操られてる コトに誰も気づかず
Called my iD.
Digital Noiseにやられ
操作するのは 何の為に?
見えない壁の向こうから
ボクがいた過去も未来さえ
Rewrite された
What's your iD?
0 と 1で 作り上げられた世界じゃ
Lensに映る モノも信じられない
the World of Gimmicks
消せない Called your iD.
0 と 1 の見えないCommandに
操られてる コトに誰も気づかず
Called my iD.
Digital Noiseにやられ
The lyrics to Kinki Kids' "ID - the world of gimmicks-" touch upon themes of identity, technology, and control. The singer of the song finds themselves lost in a world of digital noise and unable to discern reality from what is manipulated or programmed. The chorus of the song asks "what's your ID" and "what's my ID" in reference to the digital identity that is created through technology. The singer feels as though they are being controlled by a unseen force, stuck in a world that they cannot escape.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of love and connection amidst this technological world. The singer sees their loved one, but is unable to communicate properly due to the digital noise that surrounds them. They feel a sense of disconnection and inability to fully express their emotions. The chorus of the song also asks "what's your ID" in reference to their loved one, questioning if they also feel lost in this world of gimmicks.
Overall, the song seems to speak to the overwhelming and often controling presence of technology in our lives, and asks us to question who we are and what we believe in within this world.
