The Mission

KIRI

Move

移動

Move

消えろ

Move before they see your shadow

Rushing again

What's the mission this time

Save someone

Kill someone

Does it matter which

It matters

...does it

No name on the paper just a target and a date

No questions just a blade and the darkness and my fate

I've done this a hundred times I'll do it a hundred more

I don't ask what it's for

I don't ask what it's for

That's the part that interests me

A hundred missions, not one doubt

Most warriors I've collected

Had one moment

Just one

Where they almost stopped and asked

I said I don't ask

You said that very quickly

影の中だけが私の地図

No destination just the dark and the blade

This is the only life I know

The only life you allow yourself

There's a difference

This is the mission — 動け

This is the mission — 斬れ

No room for questions no room for names

This is the only thing I am

This is the mission — I've seen it before

This is the mission — they all keep score

Every kunoichi burning bright

Arrives here asking

Was it worth the fight

Not yet

I'm not there yet

黙れ

Three targets down before the temple bell rang twice

I didn't see their faces that's the only advice

They gave me at the start — don't look don't feel don't stay

Just move through like the mist

Just move through like the mist and fade away

Move through like the mist

I know that instruction well

The ones who follow it perfectly

Arrive here

Hollow

Better hollow than dead

Are you sure about that

...動け

影の中だけが私の地図

No destination just the dark

でも——

でも何だ

But what

You said it

Not me

This is the mission — 動け

This is the mission — 斬れ

No room for questions no room for names

This is the only thing I am

This is the mission — I've seen it before

This is the mission — they all keep score

Every kunoichi burning bright

Arrives here asking

Was it worth the fight

Not yet

I'm not there yet

黙れ

Let me ask you something

Just once

何だ

If the mission disappeared tomorrow

Who would you be

...それを聞くな

That's not an answer

I know

Move

移動

Move

消えろ

Move——

The question will be here

When you get back

The Dialogue is the fourth album from KIRI,
a kunoichi warrior and Japanese trap artist
under Shinobi Sound.

Ten tracks. Ten conversations between the living and the dead.

KIRI encounters a skeleton warrior -
a figure who has witnessed every life,
every battle, every last breath.
What follows is not a fight.
It is a dialogue.
About why we fight. About what we fear.
About what remains when everything else is gone.

Blending Japanese trap, heavy 808 bass,
traditional instruments - shamisen, koto, shakuhachi, taiko -
with bilingual lyrics that move between English and Japanese,
The Dialogue is a meditation on life, death,
and the razor's edge between them.

From first meeting to farewell,
nothing is resolved easily.
But something is understood.

    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.
