Sun is almost gone for good
I'm still standing where I stood
Rhyming through the fading day
Rhyming's got so much to say
Light won't last but rhyming will
Sound is moving up the hill
I'm still here when day is done
Rhyming underneath the sun
Wind is picking up the sound
Rhyming circles all around
Everything will fall away
Rhyming only will stay
When the light is almost gone
Rhyming carries you along
Day is ending, night arrives
Rhyming keeps you and me alive
I won't stop until it's through
Rhyming everything for you
Multiple rhymes inside each breath
Rhyming stronger than the rest
When the world goes dark and still
Rhyming climbs that final hill
Then the night surrounds us all
Rhyming answers when you call
Light is fading, sound remains
Rhyming flowing through your veins
When the light is almost gone
Rhyming carries you along
Shakuhachi sustains a single note as everything fades beneath it

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.
