The drummer of Kinki Kids, Shigeo Miyata, said in his blog that they have started recording the 26th single. One of the song is FLOWER from the 99, 2000 period because back then they have recorded two versions and the second version was never released but it is an extremely cool one and it would be a pity not to.

So with 18 microphones at the drums, they have recorded this version for the new single.

In his blog, he also mentioned that the moment he wrote about Kinki Kids, the search engine would bump his ranking all the way up and today (May 29th), he has over 2000 hits and ranked no. 8 already. He remembers that when he wrote about Ryuichi Kawamura going on SMAPxSMAP and TOKIO at FNS, it also bumped his ranking way up there.

haha...I guess he likes to be read too.

Okay, for those not familiar with FLOWER,  here are two versions.  I like both versions. Tsuyoshi's voice was beautiful back then. So young and innocent!

And sigh...I love young Kinki Kids. I'm excited to see them sing an old song again and hopefully they will perform this song on shows so we could enjoy their rapport again and not make it a coupling song only.  There is hope for Kinki Kids...there is hope at least for me...  It's been too long that I have not have a good feel about the two but recently, it has a bit of turnaround on my part. Perhaps it's the pressure of the forum being off, I could finally settle down again to enjoy this group. When I reach for music, my hand keeps reaching for I album.
