Hinoi Team - King Kong/ Ike Ike

Hinoi Team ( Hinoi Chīmu) is a female J-pop group formed around Asuka Hinoi with supporting members Keika Matsuoka, Hikaru Koyama, and Rina Takenaka. Most of their releases are covers of Eurobeat songs.

Their debut was decided on February 2, 2005 with the single IKE IKE. But it was cancelled maybe because they aren't ready yet. IKE IKE is a eurobeat song and the choreography focuses on the para para genre. They are new to everything about para para, so they did undergo a lot of training for it. Also, their group name changed from HINOI TEAM to Hinoi Chīmu. Not much of a difference except TEAM is now written in katakana. They also appeared on a bunch of avex-related promo tours, like the Osaka Automesse 2005, and also the one in Sapporo.

Their debut date was moved to May 18, a pretty long wait for fans. On April, they opened a website for HINOI TEAM. It was more like a page then, but it had enough info to introduce us to them. The site opened fully on April 29. Even before they debuted, their second single has already been announced. KING KONG, another eurobeat/parapara song, will be released on July 27. It's clear now that this will be HINOI TEAM's kind of music.

For their KING KONG single, Koriki Choshu collaborated with HINOI TEAM with a new version of IKE IKE, Koriki version. It was a hit and the collaboration was said to be a one time thing only.

KING KONG

HINOI team's second single went on sale on July 27, 2005 in Japan. The single also features the song "SUPER EURO FLASH" as well as a New Generation mix of the previous single, IKE IKE and a Eurobeat version of KING KONG, as well as a TV Mix of both KING KONG and SUPER EURO FLASH. The DVD version has a PV, Para Para video for KING KONG, a Koriki version of IKE IKE and an offshot video

King Kong ( Lyrics )

Dakishimete king kong do it right
Kono machi wa janguru all night long
Kimi dake o sagashiteta
Kono koi o zettai tsukamou

Tatta hitori no king kong hold me tight
Hajimete no love chance dakara
Furimuite onegai yo
Ima sugu ni ding dong my king kong *

Let's go out
Yozora o meguru ano ryuusei
Kokoro ni ochita no kimi no sei
Machi de wa dare mo ga koe kakeai
Garasu ni utsuru lonely eye

Koi no risou wa bijo to yajuu
Hanareta tte itsumo muchuu
Tobidashitai hontou sa
Doko datte tsuite iku

** Dakishimete king kong do it now
Mayoisou janguru all night long
Nani mo ka mo kaetai yo
Futari nara zettai kanau

Kitto watashi no king kong only you
Itsu datte jitto shitenaide
Omoikitte saratte yo
Kokoro kara ding dong my king kong**

Doko ikitai nani ga shitai
Shiranai umi mo mite mitai
Hayasugiru tte iwarete mo
Ha-to wa kyuu ni wa tomaranai

Rakuen motto betsu no basho
Deguchi kitto mitsukemasho
Koete mitai hontou sa
Soko kara saki wa soutou ii

Repeat *
