Lyric

River Crossing

KIRI

Cold water at my ankles

River pulls me down

One step at a time now

No one hears the sound

Current pushing harder

Blade above my head

Cross this river or

I might as well be dead

River crossing

川を渡る 引き返せない

River crossing

流れに逆らって進む

One foot then the other

夜明けまで止まらない

River crossing

渡り切るまで

冷たい水が足を掴む

それでも前へ進む

川の向こうに何がある

恐れていても意味がない

流れは私を試している

でも私は流されない

くのいちの血が騒ぐ

この川を制するのは私だ

River crossing

川を渡る 引き返せない

River crossing

流れに逆らって進む

One foot then the other

夜明けまで止まらない

River crossing

渡り切るまで

Water rising (Rising)

Keep on fighting (Fighting)

Lightning strikes (Strikes)

Keep on climbing (Climbing)

Almost there now (There now)

Don't look down now (Down now)

This is my river

This is my crown

...渡り切った

...the other side

...river crossing

The Sound of Summer Mist is the second album
from KIRI, the kunoichi of modern
Japanese Trap and Bass.

Ten tracks. Ten summer nights. One shadow.

Where the first album Born in Shadow explored
darkness and battle, The Sound of Summer Mist
dives deeper into the natural world of feudal Japan.
Fireflies, rivers, cicadas, monsoon storms
and waterfalls become the backdrop
for a kunoichi's most human moments.

From the lonely humidity of Summer Infiltration
to the hopeful stillness of After the Rain,
this album is a journey through the sounds,
heat, and soul of a Japanese summer night.

Heavy shamisen, thundering taiko, and crushing
808 bass lines woven together with the
natural sounds of summer.

All music is original, crafted with AI and
refined through unique artistic vision.
