Lyric

Shita Kiri Suzume Betrayal

KIRI

切られた舌

Betrayal's price paid

舌切り雀の恨み節

おじいさんは優しかった

おばあさんは意地悪で

雀の舌を切ってしまった

Trusted hands that turned to harm

Broken bond, no lucky charm

ちゅんちゅん鳴いて逃げて行く

血を流して飛んで行く

恩を忘れない雀が

お礼にやって来たのに

舌切り雀よ

Why the pain

信じた心

All in vain

つづらの中身

Choice to make

欲張りの心

Big mistake

小さなつづら 大きなつづら

欲深い心が選ぶもの

Greed always picks the bigger prize

Never sees through the disguise

お化けが出てきた報い

優しさを忘れた罰

雀の宿で歌って踊る

平和な世界があったのに

舌切り雀よ

Why the pain

信じた心

All in vain

つづらの中身

Choice to make

欲張りの心

Big mistake

小さな親切 大きな愛

Kindness costs nothing to give

傷つけられても恩返し

That's the way some choose to live

舌切り雀よ

Why the pain

信じた心

All in vain

つづらの中身

Choice to make

欲張りの心

Big mistake

雀は今も

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.
