In 1996, the duo once again starred together in the drama ''Wakaba No Koro'' playing friends with very different backgrounds. Tsuyoshi played a boy with an [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] father who works to take care for his younger siblings while Koichi played a boy who comes from a wealthy yet unloving family.
Widely known in Japan, the group is very popular among females of all ages, and their subscription concerts even draw males. Not only do they sing, but they are also talented actors, having appeared in popular dramas such as Tsuyoshi in ''[[Kindaichi_Case_Files#Live_action_series|Kindaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo]]'' and ''Summer Snow'' and Koichi in ''Remote''. The group has also appeared on many variety shows, with their latest one being ''Domoto Kyōdai'' since April 8, 2001.

The album features the top 11 song favorites, as voted by fans as well as 2 individual 14 song favorites lists from Koichi and Tsuyoshi, coming to a total of 39 songs, hence the title.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.yesasia.com/us/39-normal-edition-japan-version/1004884857-0-0-0-en/info.html|title=YesAsia 39|publisher=YesAsia|accessdate=October 15, 2009}}</ref>

KinKi Kids

KinKi Kids (キンキキッズ, KinKi Kizzu) is a Japanese group consisting of Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto under the talent agency Johnny & Associates. Although the members share the same surname, they are unrelated and the only relation they have to each other is that they both hail from the Kinki region, hence their group name.[1]

History

1991–1996: Pre-debut activities

On May 5, 1991, the duo first worked together as backdancers for Hikaru Genji, who were holding a concert at Yokohama Arena.[2] From then on, the two began to appear together in magazine photoshoots together though they did not have a formal group name, going through several temporary names such as Johnny's Kansai Group, Domoto Brothers and W Domoto before being introduced as Kanzai Boya by the end of the year 1992 when they backdanced for SMAP.[3][4] On the first episode of SMAP's variety show Kiss Shita? SMAP, which began on April 4, 1993, SMAP leader Masahiro Nakai decided that the group name was to be "KinKi Kids" when the two joined the show as regulars. Months later, Koichi and Tsuyoshi both appeared in their first drama together called "Ningen Shikkaku", which had a peak rating of 28.9% on its final episode.[3][5] On December 31, 1994, KinKi Kids held their first concert at the Budokan.[2]

In 1996, the duo once again starred together in the drama Wakaba No Koro playing friends with very different backgrounds. Tsuyoshi played a boy with an alcoholic father who works to take care for his younger siblings while Koichi played a boy who comes from a wealthy yet unloving family.

1997–present: Debut and onwards

The duo made their debut in 1997 with a double release of a single "Garasu no Shōnen" and an album A Album. According to Oricon, both went on to sell over one million copies,[6][2] making the duo the second artist from Johnny's to have a debut single sell over one million after senpai Masahiko Kondo's debut single "Sneaker Blues"[7] and the first to have a debut album sell over one million.[8] Their second single "Aisareru yori Aishitai" went on to become a major hit as well, selling over half a million in its first week and over a million copies by the end of its chart run.[6] By the end of the year, "Garasu no Shōnen" ranked 2nd on the annual Oricon charts, behind Namie Amuro's "Can You Celebrate?". From August 23 to August 24, they were appointed the main personality supporters with Noriko Katō for NTV's annual telethon 24-Hour Television with Tokio member Tatsuya Yamaguchi as the marathon runner. Additionally, from October 18 to December 20, KinKi Kids starred in their third drama together called Bokura no Yūki with actress Mai Hosho, former Johnny's Jr. Yuki Kohara and Arashi members Jun Matsumoto and Masaki Aiba.

In 1998, KinKi Kids, along with fellow Johnny's groups V6 and Tokio, came together to form a special charity-oriented group called J-Friends,[3] in which they collaborated with famous musicians such as Maurice White, Diane Warren, Elton John, Jon Bon Jovi and Michael Jackson.[9][10][11] J-Friends's single "Ashita ga Kikoeru/Children's Holiday", released on January 21, 1998, went on to sell over a million copies and ranked 12th on the annual Oricon charts by the end of the year. The year was successful for KinKi Kids as well. The duo's singles "Zenbu Dakishimete/Ao no Jidai" sold over a million and ranked 10th on the charts and "Jetcoaster Romance" sold over 900,000 copies and ranked 18th; their album B Album sold over 850,000 copies and over a million by the end of its chart run.[12] Furthermore, their 1997 single "Aisareru yori Aishitai" managed to rank 8th.

In 1999, the duo's 7th single "Flower" ranked 10th on the annual Oricon charts for selling over a million copies, making it the duo's fourth million-selling single. The year 2000 saw the duo's first Asia tour in Taiwan and Hong Kong, which was held at Taipei 101 and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre respectively and ran from February 22 to February 27,[13] and their second million-selling album KinKi Single Selection.[14]

Every one of the duo's single releases since then has debuted at the top of the charts, and as a result, they were listed in the 2003 edition of the reference book Guinness World Records for having the record of the most number of consecutive number-one singles.

To commemorate their 10th anniversary on July 21, 2007, KinKi Kids released a best-hits album entitled 39 on July 18, 2007. The numbers three and nine in Japanese are pronounced as "san-kyuu", sounding similar to "thank you" in English, signifying KinKi Kids' gratitude to their fans for their support for the past 10 years. The album features the top 11 song favorites, as voted by fans as well as two individual 14-song favorites lists from Koichi and Tsuyoshi, coming to a total of 39 songs, hence the title.[15] 39 went on to sell about 301,000 copies in its first week.[16] In the same month, the group was once again recognized by the Guinness World Records for their feat of achieving the most number of consecutive number-one singles by extending their own record to twenty-five number one singles since debut.[17][18] On July 22, 2007, the group held their 10th anniversary concert at Tokyo Dome, which drew a crowd of about 67,000 fans, making it the biggest concert ever held at the Dome. The record was previously held by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi in 1992 when his concert drew an audience of 65,000.[19]

On May 31, 2008, the group announced their first summer tour in eight years. The tour started at Tokyo Dome on July 21, 2008—coinciding with their 11th anniversary—and extended the duo's record for holding the most Tokyo Dome concerts.[20][21] They released their 28th single "Yakusoku" on January 28, 2009, which debuted at the top of the Oricon charts, not only extending their Guinness record but also improving their own Oricon record for the most consecutive years with a number-one single.[22]
