I've been running on excuses
Giving up on use too soon
You got something in your eyes
But i got used to
Thinking of love as only for the summer
Other seasons are out of control
What a fool
Cause you stand 10 ft tall
You'd never leave unless i'd want to
Is this what they call being loved
When you're not someone to go through
You got nothing but smiles and
I was confused
How could you be so happy
When i wasn't sure of you
I thought love was only for the summer
Now my seasons are out of control
What a fool
I love you
Cause you stand 10 ft tall
And you'd never leave unless i'd want to
Is this what they call being loved
When i'm not someone to go through
When i'm not someone to go through

"HARANBANJO" is Kinami's four-song diary of navigating her 20s -- a time of self-doubt, identity struggles, and learning to let go of control. Rooted in moody pop and early 2000s guitar-driven energy, the EP moves from exploring self-worth in romance and questioning what love she truly deserves, to dreamy introspection, finally landing on a hopeful shoegaze-inspired track about self-love. More than just music, "HARANBANJO" offers relief for a generation of young adults who feel overstimulated and uncertain -- reminding us it's okay to sit still, feel deeply, and accept ourselves as we are.

Kinami
Kinami is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Okinawa, influenced by indegenous Rykyuan, Japanese and American culture. Her 'champuru' or stir fry style of multi-cultural and generational influence is reflected in her melodic choices and lyrics breathed to life in vocal and live performances. 'Kinami' also meaning 'shining seven seas' symbolizes her direction in spreading her truth and light to the world, one song, one performance at a time. Trailblazing a path to be Japan's global artist, Kinami travels between Japan and London to bring new waves of music all over the world. With an uprise in domestic and global recognition through streaming playlists, a Japanese national TV appearance, and features on renowned billboards in Shibuya, her artistry speaks for this generation's over-thinkers. Her debut single, "Blue Sapphire" has accumulated over 19,000 TikTok video creations and earned a Japan-wide song placement in over 17,000 convenience stores. Followed by her first music video being featured on Tokyo's renowned billboards in Shibuya crossing. With her previous single, "Don't need to let it go" written for TuneCore Japan's 10th Anniversary commercial being placed in Japan's top editorial playlists and latter single "Celebrity Posters" placing in all of Asia's New Music Spotify playlists, Kinami is an anticipated bilingual songstress and singer representing Okinawa, Japan and Asia.
