Lantern on the table here
I'm thinking, talking in your ear
Rhyming soft but rhyming true
Every word is meant for you
Night is quiet, I am loud
Rhyming clear for this small crowd
One on one with you tonight
Rhyming in the lantern light
I'm not rushing, take my time
Fit the words inside the rhyme
Pace is slow, but dense is tight
Every syllable sits right
Speak it soft, speak it clear
Rhyming only you will hear
Sitting down, I talk to you
Rhyming what I'm feeling through
Light and dark and fast and slow
Rhyming's got a lot to show
Multiple meanings in each line
Rhyming is a form of wine
Slow consumption, let it sit
Every word will help you fit
Into rhythm, into beat
Into something you can meet
Here with you, just you and me
Rhyming what is meant to be
Speak it soft, speak it clear
Rhyming only you will hear

Last Light Lasting
KIRI
An innovative fusion of traditional Japanese instruments and contemporary hip hop. Lantern Turns features ten tracks where taiko drums, koto, shakuhachi, and biwa meet heavy 808 bass and trap rhythms. Female rappers navigate syncopated beats across styles ranging from energetic celebration tracks to introspective underground productions. From the driving pulse of Heat Rising to the ceremonial floating of Last Light Lasting, each song layers Japanese instrumentation with modern production techniques. This project explores the intersection of heritage and innovation, creating a sonic landscape where ancient sounds meet contemporary rhythm.
Artist Profile
KIRI
KIRI is a Japanese AI music artist blending the deadly elegance of the kunoichi with modern Trap & Bass. Heavy shamisen, thundering taiko, and crushing 808 bass lines form the sonic world of Shinobi Sound, a place where shadow, blade, and silence converge. Born in darkness. Gone before you blink.
