KANZAI BOYA - KinKi Kids lyrics & translation
Please find a translation of 'KANZAI BOYA' from me. I've also included the lyrics in Japanese and romaji/romanization.
This song was written and composed by Tsuyoshi-kun and is a fan favourite. Kanzai Boya was the original name given to KinKi by Johnny-san, and this song is pretty obviously a reference to him naming them and I see it as a way of them processing their grief over his death.
Any mistakes or errors are my own and do let me know if you spot anything. Many thanks.

“You two, I’ve come up with a cool name for you.
KinKi Kids!”
Is that really any different…?!
Translation notes:
There’s a lot of good translations for 無敵 (muteki), 'unrivalled', or 'invincible', I went with 'unstoppable' just ‘cause.
Same for 素敵 (suteki). It can be cool, great, awesome etc. I thought ‘cool’ was probably most appropriate really, but cos later then Johnny-san says ‘kakkoi' and in this case really only ‘cool’ would work here in English, I went with ‘awesome’ to keep some variety in the English.
There’s some puns in here as well, which are hard to capture well…
このセンス ハイセンス そうなんす ハイそうなんすよね
(Kono SENSU HAISENSU sou nansu HAI sou nansu yo ne /
My taste is very refined, that’s right, yes that’s right)
sensu and hai sense and sou and hai sou… I am sorry, I can't think of something in English to match this.
僕の愛のum... かたまり
(It's a bundle of umm… my love)
is a reference to the KinKi Kids’ song ‘Ai no Katamari’ (A bundle of love)
