OK I SHOULD MAKE an original post for the BANGER LOOKS in the Geats Televi-Kun Hyper Battle Special

because THEY ARE INSPIRED BY CLASSIC SHOWA IDOLS and smapchat activated at the speed of light, i was barely awake when @tsuristyle was already digging up the references

Keiwa is CLEARLY inspired by the Checkers, an eighties pop-rockabilly band generally considered to be early idols

Michinaga is in a legendary outfit, the silver suits for Shonentai's Kamen Butokai (their debut single!)

And Ace is just as iconic in the GTANPAN getup from Hikaru Genji's Diamond Hurricane!

KinKi Kids Interview in Josei Seven February 2023 Edition (Tsuyoshi's side)

"Even after 25 years, our style remains the same"

How did the new song 'The Story of Us' is born?

We both casually came up with the words, and made it together while tapping the machines and keyboard. Since the order (theme) is set to be "cheer song" from the beginning, the path is clear already. However, it's actually hard to create "cheer song" in this Corona era. After all, everyone has been doing their best already ne. During the peaceful days, anyone can challenge for a bright future if they have the spirit, but that's not the case anymore. That's why we chose the words and write the lyrics while thinking "what is the best way to snuggle up to each of the listeners' wound without leaving anyone behind?".

For 25 years since debut, is there any changes in the way you deal with KinKi Kids in terms of work?

Nothing ever change. Johnny-san have clearly said,"When doing something on your own, don't turn it into an extension of two people". So when we are together, we will look for something that only the two of us can offer. And when we work independently, we will work on something that we can only find on our own. That style will never change.

The first edition includes the covers of 'Goodbye Countdown' by Shonentai and '…。' by 光GENJI. What did you feel when singing senpai songs?

They were songs we sang on stage several times before our official debut. As music itself is like a time machine, even when I sing it now the images of that day come back to me, and I get to see who I was back then. "Ah, that's why I love music," it somehow came back to me. During the recording, we sang this song to express our gratitude to senpaitachi who have been walking infront of us with their strong back shown to us.

If you can talk to yourself from the debut days, what do you want to tell him?

"People will say whatever they want. People might barely able to see the real you. But, as long as you live the way you are, it'll be fine." That's what I want to tell. Ever since back then, I don't like to gloss over myself just to be more presentable, and I can't do it. There were times I clashed with others, and slowly grew tired that I ended up thinking "It is better to say nothing".  From then on, I began to lose my actual self. Since the time keep changing and I was still young, I didn't have the courage nor strength to face it that I was troubled and hurt. That's why I want to tell myself from back then "You'll be fine as long as you live as yourself, just do your best".

Lastly, what kind of year would you like 2023 to be?

Last year, I was very happy to receive apparel-related job. It was refreshing to challenge the world I never knew and meeting the new me, and I hope I can meet myself the same way this year. Surely everyone has been looking up on what to do or what to be in the past two years. But the pandemic arrived and everything collapsed. Nobody would've expected there'll be a time when the future is unforeseeable. Just like the yell to my past self just now, I think, the most important thing for everyone right now is to live as their own selves. For me, to live in your own love, as long as you don't forget the love, you'll be lead to the lovely people and the moments. I want to spend this year while cherishing that feeling.

Nihonmatsu Shonentai statue.

"One of the famous battles of the Boshin War in 1868 was the attack by imperial troops on Nihonmatsu Castle. On July 29th, the castle had been largely left undefended as the vast majority of troops had been dispatched to repel the approaching enemy forces. However, the Nihonmatsu warriors were no match for the imperial forces with their superior modern weaponry. The imperial forces pierced the flanks of the Nihonmatsu defense and were upon the castle in great numbers very quickly. In response to the dire situation, the Nihonmatsu’s Shonentai Youth Corps pleaded to be allowed to engage the enemy in battle. The ages of the 62 members of the youth corps ranged from 13 to 17 years old. The commander of the squadron, Kimura Jutaro, was 22 years old, and his second in command, Nikaido Emori, was 33. Including Kimura and Nikaido, 16 members of the Shonentai Youth Corps were killed in battle. A group of statues dedicated to them stands outside the reconstructed Minowa gate entrance of Nihonmatsu Castle gardens (Kasumigajo Park). Kimura Jutaro is depicted holding a war signaling baton, while other members are depicted in other fighting positions. The boy seen firing the cannon is said to be Okayama Tokujiro. Another, Narita Saijiro, is seen performing the special thrusting technique of the Nihonmatsu clan’s fencing style. It is said that he felled a commander of the imperial forces, Shirai Koshiro, with this technique. He was 14 years old at the time."

Although the first picture in this post represents the most photographed angle of the statue, this side view reveals another figure behind the hedge: one of their mothers, sewing the insignia to the sleeve of their clothing.
