Discography
Ike Ike
The Hinoi team's debut "Ike Ike" (meaning "Go, Go") went on sale on May 18, 2005, in Japan. The song was written by Italian producers Claudio Accatino, Federico Rimonti and Roberto Festari, and originally performed by Tri-Star, but the Hinoi team's version had new (Japanese) lyrics written by Kenko-P. Its rhythms were derived from the song "We Like to Party" by the Dutch Eurodance pop group Vengaboys. The Hinoi Team single also features the song "Sing Na Na Na" as well as an extended version of "Ike Ike" and instrumental versions for both songs. The DVD has a promotional video, a Para Para video and video out-takes. Hinoi Team's "Ike Ike" was also used as the closing theme for the anime Ichigo 100% and for the Chukyo TV show Sarudie during the month of April.
King Kong
Hinoi Team's second single went on sale on July 27, 2005. The single was packaged with the song "Super Euro Flash" as well as a New Generation remix of "Ike Ike" and a Eurobeat version of "King Kong," as well as a TV remix of both "King Kong" and "Super Euro Flash." The DVD has a promotional video, Para Para video for "King Kong," a Koriki version of "Ike Ike" and out-takes.
Night of Fire/Play with the Numbers
The group's third single featured Japanese wrestler and comedian Korikki Chōshū and went on sale on December 14, 2005.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hinoi Team” as japanese pop band. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese pop band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 15, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2336033. The first chronological checks are 2005.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
