Synopsis

Filmed in Tokyo, the Vengaboys turn the city into a nonstop late-night party. The group performs amid colorful urban locations, arcade attractions, and enthusiastic dancers, with the action repeatedly returning to synchronized Para Para routines. Their bright costumes and exaggerated choreography match the song's carefree message: romance is reserved for nighttime, while daytime is for freedom and fun. The video plays less like a conventional narrative than a fast-moving travelogue and dance showcase, capturing the group's playful energy during their Millennium world tour.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed in Tokyo, Japan, during the Vengaboys' Millennium world tour.
  • Its central dance style is Para Para, a synchronized Japanese club dance often compared to line dancing.
  • The video helped connect the Vengaboys' colorful Eurodance image with Japanese arcade and nightlife culture.
  • The official making-of story recalls that Roy became fascinated by an arcade dancing machine. After meeting its owner, he reportedly traded his cowboy costume for the machine, and the costume was left on display at the entertainment venue.
  • Released in late 1999, "Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)" became one of the group's biggest international hits. It reached No. 1 in New Zealand and placed in the Top 10 in several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden.
