HINOI Team - KING KONG

[English Translation of the Lyrics]

KING KONG


[1] (Singing)
Hold me, KING KONG. Do it right.
This city is a jungle all night long.
I've been looking for only you.
I want to grasp this love by all means.
My only one KING KONG, hold me tight.
Because it's my first chance of love,
Please look back at me, I beg you.
Right now [ring bells] ding-dong, my KING KONG.


[2] (Rapping)
Let's go out.

The shooting star in the night sky
fell into my heart. It's your sake.
In this city anybody greets somebody,
But lonely eyes are reflected in the glass [of buildings].

The ideal of love is "Beauty and the Beast".
I 'm absorbed in you, even if you're far away.
I wanna fly out. It's true.
I'll follow you anywhere in the world.


[3] (Singing)
Hold me, KING KONG. Do it now.
I'm going to go astray in this jungle all night long.
I want to change everything.
It will certainly come true, if I 'm with you.
Surely, my KING KONG only you,
Don't always stay still in your place.
Please dare to take me away.
With all my heart [I wish] ding-dong, my KING KONG.


[4] (Rapping)
Where do you wanna go? What do you wanna do?
I wanna see the ocean I haven't known.
Even though they say it's too early,
My heart cannot stop suddenly.

Paradise exists in other place.
At any cost let's find the exit.
I wanna try to cross the border. It's true.
Beyond there it will be so good.

[Note]
This song is a cover version of the song by E-rotic. Japanese lyrics were newly written by Goro Matsui for Hinoi Team. But some English words were left in order not to lose the feeling of the original song. I believe that in the Japanese lyrics "King Kong" doesn't mean real King Kong but it's a boy's nickname.

HINOI Team's Version of this song was released in 2005. In the next year Shanadoo used the same Japanese lyrics and imitated HINOI Team's choreography in their debut single in Germany (2006). I guess that a German producer wanted a female group just like HINOI Team. But, from the view point of Japanese, the Japanism in the MV of Shanadoo is a fake. For example a Japanese harp (Koto) was used in the MV but the melody or scale was Chinese one, not Japanese.

This song is contained in their second single "KING KONG"(July 2005) and also in their album "Super Euro Party"(March 2006). This MV is contained only in "+Video Disc Versions" of the single and the album (Note that the region code of it is 2 [Europe, Japan, etc.], not 1 [USA and Canada]).

The CDs (single "KING KONG" and album "Super Euro Party") containing this song are available in Japan even now. If you live in the other country, you can buy them at REASONABLE prices through internet from "YesAsia". Search it. You can buy them also from Amazon, but the prices of imported CDs at Amazon are too high.


[Note on the costumes in this video]
Each member has two different costumes in this video. The skirt of jean with tank top is one of them (they wear such costumes when they dance). Another one is the dress which has many flowers on it (they wear such ones when they play some roles). In an announcement about the release of this song the members of HINOI Team told that in this video they played the roles of "the fairies of flowers" and that this video was taken at botanical gardens. So, it is clear that their second costumes represent "the fairies of flowers". And the shinning spots, which appear when they wear the second costumes, may be pollen of them. (In an internet radio program they told that those were the auras of fairies.)

I know very little thing about them. All the member of Hinoi Team left the managing company for Hinoi Team (Vision Factory). Asuka is seeking the way to resume her activity even now. But she seems to want to be an actress rather than a singer. Hikaru seems to have given up being an artist. Keika is in activity as a model in a local area. Rina doesn't give up being an artist and last year she released solo tune in a compilation album in which many artists took part.

@phronesis5

Okay, thank you for the answer :)

[neverfell]

Kind of sad that they have seperated. Phronesis5, do you have any idea what this girls are doing know? Kind of stupid question and I know you're not a stalker. But, it would be nice to see this girls in their ages by now. They should be 20 years old. Just a question, hope you answer. :)))

[H0lydin]
