You're a paperback, worn at the spine
Pages dog-eared from being mine
I read you slow, I read you deep
Worse decisions when I didn't sleep
Your words hit different every time
Catch a rhythm, catch a rhyme
Love letter in a borrowed tongue
Songs that should have been sung
Margin notes are where I confess
All the feelings I can't express
You're a story I return to still
Even when it bends my will
Nothing's wasted if I learned to grow
From the chapters that I know
Love letter in a borrowed tongue
Songs that should have been sung
Do you forgive the dog-eared pages?
Do you forgive the turning of the ages?
Love letter, love letter in my song
Songs that teach me to be strong

KIRI
Nostalgia Witness blends heritage and contemporary hip hop into a cohesive listening experience. Using the KIRI preset, this 10-track album merges traditional Japanese instruments like koto, biwa, and shakuhachi with modern beat-making. Each track explores different emotional territory from tender introspection to powerful uprising, fluctuating between 97 and 122 BPM. The production captures both the weight of memory and the energy of the present moment. These songs serve as witnesses to what has passed, while pointing toward what lies ahead. A meditation on time through sound.
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.
