Lyric

Farewell

KIRI

...さようなら

...farewell

I came to you with a blade and nothing else

No name no home no reason left to doubt myself

I thought that you were enemy

The thing I fought against

But you were just the mirror

At the end of every fence

出会いは闇の中だった

I didn't choose this conversation

でも選ばれた

Something chose it for us both

And I am not the same kunoichi

Who first stood here alone

何かが変わった

Something in me

Finally feels like home

I have said farewell ten thousand times

To ten thousand souls

Most arrive here broken

Most arrive here cold

But you came in asking questions

Blade still in your hand

目を見て話した

You looked me in the eye

And tried to understand

I have been the ending

For longer than you know

でもお前と話して

But talking with you

Reminded me of something

I thought I'd lost

Long ago

何だったか、もう一度思い出した

What it felt like

To not know the answer

Farewell — でも終わりじゃない

Farewell — this isn't done

We met in the dark and we talked til the dawn

And something between us

Has already won

Farewell — また会うだろう

Farewell — いつかきっと

But not today

今日じゃない

今日は、まだ生きていく

Today she goes back

To the living

I used to run from silence

Now I think I understand

The quiet isn't empty

It's just asking me to stand

Still enough to feel the weight

Of everything I carry

後悔も、使命も、二秒の記憶も

The regret the mission

And the two seconds of grace

All of it is mine now

全部、私のものだ

I don't need to run

I just need to find my pace

And if the mission comes again

I'll ask what it's for

初めて、問える

For the first time

I think I'll ask

お前が去っていく

And I will watch you leave

The way I've watched a thousand others

But not the way I've watched them

お前は違う

You leave differently

You leave looking forward

Not back at me

Take the questions with you

持っていけ

They won't weigh you down

Questions are the only thing

That keep the living

From arriving here

Too soon

またいつか

We'll speak again

But let that day

Be far

遠くていい

Very far from now

Farewell — でも終わりじゃない

Farewell — this isn't done

We met in the dark and we talked til the dawn

And something between us

Has already won

Farewell — また会うだろう

Farewell — いつかきっと

But not today

今日じゃない

今日は、まだ生きていく

Today she goes back

To the living

怖くない、もう

I know

ありがとう

...生きろ

ああ

Farewell — 灰になる日まで

Farewell — blades turn to rust

Everything we spoke of

In the dark between us

Will outlast the dust

Farewell — また会う日まで

Farewell — その日まで

You who live — live fully

それだけでいい

ただそれだけ

Farewell

また走る

今度は、ちゃんと

I'll be here

遠くでいい

Take your time

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.

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.
