Lyric

Issunboushi Giant Heart

KIRI

小さな体 大きな夢

Size don't measure worth

一寸法師 手のひらサイズ

お椀の船で旅に出る

京の都へ向かう心

体は小さくても志は高い

Needle for a sword, bowl for a boat

Dreams are bigger than what most devote

お箸の櫂で漕いで行く

誰も信じない冒険談

姫様のため鬼と戦う

勇気だけが武器だった

一寸法師よ

Prove them wrong

小さな体で

Standing strong

打出の小槌で

Wish came true

心の大きさ

That's the real you

鬼に飲み込まれても

諦めることはしなかった

Inside the belly, fighting back

Courage is what the giants lack

針の剣で刺し続け

最後に勝利を掴んだ

打出の小槌で願いを

大きな体 でも心は同じ

一寸法師よ

Prove them wrong

小さな体で

Standing strong

打出の小槌で

Wish came true

心の大きさ

That's the real you

見た目で判断する世界で

Value comes from deep inside

小さくても立ち向かう

David facing Goliath's pride

一寸法師よ

Prove them wrong

小さな体で

Standing strong

打出の小槌で

Wish came true

心の大きさ

That's the real you

小さな勇者

Leaves giant mark

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.
