何が残る
What remains
...after everything
I've burned through villages and never looked back
Left names in mission reports and nothing on the map
No grave no monument no story that gets told
Just a blade that kept on moving
Through the rain and cold
消えた、消えた、消えた
Every place I've been
消えた、消えた
Like I was never there at all
If I disappeared tomorrow
Would anything remain
Or just another shadow
Lost inside the rain
I've watched empires fall to dust
And kings become the earth
I've watched the things that felt eternal
Prove what they were worth
Nothing built from power lasts
Nothing carved in stone
でも——
There are things I cannot take
No matter how long I've known
The moment someone stopped mid-battle
Picked a stranger up
The wordless thing between two people
When one's had enough
そういう瞬間は残る
Those moments stay
Even I
Can't touch them
What remains — 灰の下に
What remains when the blade goes still
Not the mission not the glory
Not the blood upon the hill
What remains — 名前じゃない
What remains when the name is gone
Something small and almost nothing
Somehow carries on
残るものがある
There is something
That remains
There was a child who fell once on the road I passed
I stopped for half a second — lifted her — then left fast
It's not in any report
No one saw me do it
Mission protocol says keep moving
So I kept right through it
でも覚えてる
I remember every detail
Her weight her face the mud
Two seconds of my life
That felt like something good
Maybe that's what stays
When everything else burns
Maybe that's the only thing
A kunoichi earns
その子は今、私のそばにいる
She came just last spring
And the last thing in her memory
Wasn't suffering
It was a pair of hands
That stopped when no one had to
A shadow that chose human
For just long enough to matter
それが残るものだ
Not the blade not the name
The two seconds you almost didn't give
それが全てだった
That was everything
What remains — 灰の下に
What remains when the blade goes still
Not the mission not the glory
Not the blood upon the hill
What remains — 名前じゃない
What remains when the name is gone
Something small and almost nothing
Somehow carries on
残るものがある
There is something
That remains
二秒だけだった
二秒で十分だった
...それだけでいいのか
It's the only thing
That ever was enough
What remains — 灰の下に
What remains — it was always there
Not the mission not the glory
Something you almost threw away
What remains — 名前じゃない
What remains — two seconds of grace
Something small and almost nothing
いつまでも、残り続ける
残るものがある
There is something
That remains
二秒
また走る
They all add up
Eventually

Farewell
KIRI
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.
