Lyric

Akaoni Aooni Duality

KIRI

赤と青の戦い

Demons clash within

赤鬼青鬼 どっちが強い

角と牙で睨み合い

山の奥で繰り広げる

永遠に続く戦い

Red rage burning like a flame

Blue ice cold without shame

人間たちは恐れるけど

鬼にも鬼の事情がある

赤い怒りと青い悲しみ

感情のぶつかり合い

赤鬼青鬼

Battle in my soul

怒りと悲しみ

Never in control

角を持つ者の

Burden that we bear

人間には見えない

Pain we always share

村人たちが怖がって

豆を投げて追い払う

But we're more than what they see

Complicated, wild and free

赤い血と青い涙

混ざり合って紫に

鬼も愛を求めてる

理解されない宿命

赤鬼青鬼

Battle in my soul

怒りと悲しみ

Never in control

角を持つ者の

Burden that we bear

人間には見えない

Pain we always share

節分の夜に響く声

Fukuwa-uchi, oni-wa-soto

でも鬼にも帰る場所

Somewhere to call our own

赤鬼青鬼

Battle in my soul

怒りと悲しみ

Never in control

角を持つ者の

Burden that we bear

人間には見えない

Pain we always share

山に響く

Our eternal cry

Crimson Tales is a conceptual album that reimagines classic Japanese folktales and fairy tales through contemporary hip-hop production. Familiar stories like Momotaro, Urashima Taro, and Issun-boshi are brought to life through an innovative fusion of traditional Japanese instruments including shakuhachi flute, koto, and taiko drums with orchestral hip-hop elements. Each track reinterprets these timeless narratives from a modern perspective, showcasing diverse musical expressions ranging from aggressive beats to melancholic melodies. The ten musical chapters create a sonic journey where ancient Japanese heritage meets urban contemporary sensibilities, offering listeners an immersive experience that bridges the gap between tradition and innovation.
