Just getting into KinKi Kids? I understand that KinKi Kids' songs are awesome, and I would've uploaded hundred of songs if I were to select my favourites from KK's songs. Why don't you try listening to their solo songs too? They are equally as amazing, accompanied by distinct flavours that each Domoto have to offer.
Please note the songs on the list below are selected few and they are highly subjected to my personal likings. These mp3 downloads are ONLY for sampling purpose. If you like the song and happen to have some spare bucks, please support the artist by buying the single/album!
*phew* That took me quite a while. you can buy these from Yesasia or Cdjapan or HMV Japan.
Comments are appreciated! | | |

When I first listened to the song, I thought it was just normal. But Koichi's songs can really be best appreciated by watching him performing them with the dance at the same time. I can already imagine him performing this song, pretty sexy.The logo and the name of his solo tour is out too!

I suppose he will be performing all his solo songs? Looking forward to watching that live! | | |

The preview of Koichi's new single Ayakashi from Donnamonya tonight...
CLICK HERE!
I heard that he performed with simple clothes and a jacket. And of course expect the prince to be dancing along this too! | | |

The setlist for Tsuyoshi's latest live in Nara on the 10th and 11th of July is too good to be true.
Somei yoshino Greetings, member intro Bigaku Let's Get FUNKASY!!! Love is the key MC TALK TO MYSELF MC ORIGINAL COLOR MC Sora ga nakukara Haru namida MC Machi MC Sora~ utsukushii ware no sora MC P_FUNK JAM NARA STYLE(session) OH.MY.GOD. This is really a dream come true setlist for me! He sang Machi! ORIGINAL COLOR! From his 'Domoto Tsuyoshi' period! I would never have expected that he would EVER sing those songs again live.
He always implied that he wanted to detach himself from his Domoto Tsuyoshi image since that is too closely related to his idol self in KinKi Kids. BUT, looking at his *another* new official site, he uses his real name 'Domoto Tsuyoshi' and the discography goes back as far as his very first Machi! Since the beginning of his ENDLICHERI project, I have not been a huge fan of that idea, since that implied a complete denial of his Domoto Tsuyoshi side, which is obviously a part of him that simply can not be forsaken. This is truly a huge step that he has taken to embrace his true self.
And I heard that there were some recording cameras in the live. Considering that Tsuyoshi would usually release the DVD of special events, please release this as a DVD! | | |

Wow this is the longest I have gone without updating for the past 2+ years? Expect something like this until, perhaps, the beginning of August when I get to Japan.
Anyhow, lovely scans from PS magazine thanks to pinkrain!

More scans here...
And Koichi's solo single covers!
First press limited edition:

First press regular edition:

Regular edition:

In my honest opinion, the covers are not toooo special. Meh. I prefer something like Deep in your heart regular edition cover. Heheh.
And Tsuyoshi also updated his Love Fighter THREE days in a row! I will translate them later.
On a random note, tomorrow will be the Wimbledon's men's single's match! Federer vs Roddick! GO FEDERER! | | |

And we received this note from him, scan thanks to since1997.

The weather has become hotter, hasn't it. Well, it has been 3 years since I composed songs, went inside studio, to release my solo single. Since the concert has been decided, please look forward to that. Okay then~ (as in see you there)Domoto Koichi Next news, Tsuyoshi will be participating in this Ecouta.

The list of artists performing: - alan - Ikimonogakari - Otsuka Ai - Kimaguren - Sakana kun - THE BOOM - Wakana Noriko(?) - Tohoshinki - Domoto Tsuyoshi - Hitoto Yo - Hirahara Ayaka - FUNKY MONKEY BABYS

Yesterday I ate Katsuo tataki
Sorry about the sudden update.
This is Tsuyoshi.
The dressing I use is
light soy sauce grated ginger
with wasabi and grated ginger added as I want.
I ran the grilled katsuo with running water
I spread mustard and put the katsuo on top of that and then added slices of ginger
And I added the dressing that I was talking about just now.
Cooking is interesting.
If I start a restaurant someday
Come and eat
at Tsuyo fuudo.
Nevertheless.
Today too I am also thinking of
Everyone.
My apologies for this random entry.
@~'~,-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-,~'~@
Katsuo tataki is lightly grilled bonito eaten with dressings on top. When he said Tsuyo fuudo (ツヨフー堂), Tsuyo is from Tsuyoshi's name, and the kanji do (堂) is from Domoto's name or it can also mean the hall, as in dining hall. On top of that fuudo that he made up here (フー堂) has the same pronounciation as 'food'. LOL ingenious as usual! | | |

CONGRATULATIONS TO ROGER FEDERER FOR HIS VICTORY IN THE FRENCH OPEN!

And his 14th Grand Slam title, equalling Pete Sampras' record. And his career grand slam, winning all majors, from Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.
I watched the match live and I was screaming with my friends when we saw that championship point! And Federer played really well today too!
Good luck for the upcoming Wimbledon. Reclaim your title from Nadal!LOL this pretty much explains why I have been MIA for a while now, and so... 1. French Open 2. KinKi not doing much 3. Personal life stuff | | |
