    I have no idea if KinKi kids is a bad translation, an abriviation, or what but it looks like someone was trying to tell on themselves with that in English.

      Haha, Kinki is actually another (old school) name for Kansai region in Japan. In Kanji it’s basically “Near the capital” (Kyoto at the time).

      So KinKi Kids were named because they grew up in Kansai. I actually don’t know if the double entendre was intentional when they started!
