Kimi, Boku (君、僕。:"You and Me") is Kis-My-Ft2's 22nd single, released on October 3, 2018, by avex trax.

This song is a commercial song for Kowa's "Hokkairo Shin Nukkukutsu Toban"(Hand warmer) featuring Kis-My-Ft2.[1]

In the music video, they perform a high-speed step dance named "Kis-Tep" during the interlude. In addition, the lyrics of the song are sprinkled with the seven colors of the members' colors, and for the first time in a single song, all members have solo parts. In the music video, the scene where they dance in pure white costumes holding umbrellas of the members' colors is memorable.[2]

This song is a royal love song, and the lyrics, "Kimi ga irukara Boku ga irunnda: (You are the reason I can be here)," are a manifestation of that.[3]
