Lyric

Touri Yanse Checkpoint

KIRI

関所を通るため

Permission to pass through

通りゃんせ 通りゃんせ

ここはどこの細道じゃ

天神様の細道じゃ

ちょっと通して下され

Checkpoint in the narrow lane

Every passage brings the pain

御用のない者通しゃせぬ

理由がなけりゃ通れない

七つのお祝いに お札を納めに参ります

行きはよいよい 帰りは怖い

通りゃんせよ

State your reason why

細道を

Can't just pass by

行きはよいが

Easy going in

帰りは怖い

Where have you been

何を持って帰るのか

検査する目は厳しい

Guards are watching every move

Nothing here for you to prove

天神様への参拝

本当の目的は何だ

嘘をついても見抜かれる

関所の掟は絶対

通りゃんせよ

State your reason why

細道を

Can't just pass by

行きはよいが

Easy going in

帰りは怖い

Where have you been

昔から続く決まり事

Rules that bind us to the past

通る者への試練

Every crossing, die is cast

通りゃんせよ

State your reason why

細道を

Can't just pass by

行きはよいが

Easy going in

帰りは怖い

Where have you been

関所は今も

Waiting for you

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.
