Things to Tell You

IRIS MONDO

見上げたビルの隙間、青空には届かない

ずっと余白だらけなんだよな

満たされない生

あの日見た夢たちの期限が切れるのを

ひたすら待っていた、待っていた

いつまでも

日々、搾取されてきた

心、身体、削り取られてた

明日とかもう来なくてよかった

負け惜しみとダサい言い訳ばっか

かっこつけて吐き捨てた保険

実際こんなもんとか言って所詮

勝てなかったのはシンプルに自分

また嫌なこと言ってんな、ごめん

時間とか境遇とかお金とか人脈だとか

誰かと比べては、僕は僕を引き裂いた

僕らあまりにもね、未熟なんだ

惰性さ、生きるのも

だけど、燃えてんだまだ

心の奥の底に閉じ込めた喜怒や哀楽は

今も炎を絶やさぬよう、懸命に生きてたんだ

君と話したいことはさ

抱えた痛みはもう君の味方だよ

今を精一杯生きて

夜明けはきっとすぐそこってこと

"Lifeline" means a line that keeps you alive-a safety rope, something you can hold on to when you're struggling to stay afloat.
For us, music has always been that lifeline. Time and time again, it has been there to support us and help us keep going.
On days when nothing goes the way we want.
On nights when we want to deny our own existence.
In moments when we grow tired of feeling like we're not becoming anyone at all.
Even then, we kept making music. We kept singing. And somehow, we made it this far.
This EP brings together songs born from the time we've spent walking through life up to this point.
It is a record of who we are-carrying all our doubts, frustrations, and weaknesses with us, yet still choosing to move forward.
Music became one of our reasons to keep living.
And we named this EP LIFELINE with the hope that, just as music has been a lifeline for us, these songs might become one for someone else, too.
When you're struggling.
When you're lost.
When you feel unbearably alone.
We hope this EP can stay by your side and give you even the smallest strength to face forward once again.
LIFELINE
Music that keeps us alive.
Music that allows us to live alongside you.

Artist Profile

  • IRIS MONDO

    IRIS MONDO is a Japanese alternative rock band that blends digital soundscapes, spoken word, rap, and melodic vocals into a distinctive and emotionally charged sound. Their music moves effortlessly between intensity and delicacy, combining raw emotion, modern loneliness, and cinematic storytelling while transcending traditional genre boundaries. On stage, IRIS MONDO creates immersive performances that are both visually captivating and emotionally liberating, drawing audiences into a world where explosive energy and subtle expression coexist. For their latest releases, the band collaborated with the songwriter behind JO1's hit "Believe In You," the theme song for the blockbuster Japanese film Run for Money. The partnership has further refined IRIS MONDO's songwriting, resulting in an even more polished and powerful sound. Their newest songs pair catchy melodies with deeply personal lyrics that encourage listeners facing life's struggles to move forward with hope and greater self-confidence. IRIS MONDO has steadily expanded its live activities throughout Japan, performing in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Okinawa. In October 2023, the band made its debut at MABOROSHIFES in Okinawa, where they received high praise from artists from South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. This performance led to their first international invitations. The same month, multilingual TikTok videos for "Day.1" surpassed 200,000 views and 10,000 likes. In September 2024, their song "MY SWEET KILLER" exceeded 100,000 views on RED (Xiaohongshu), one of China's largest social media platforms. The following month, IRIS MONDO performed at NATURALVIBE FESTIVAL 2024 in Zhejiang, China, as the festival's only overseas artist. A street performance video later went viral on RED, reaching over 460,000 views and 80,000 likes, helping the band's official RED account grow to more than 33,000 followers. In 2025, IRIS MONDO completed its first Asian tour across Singapore, Bangkok, Tianjin, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tokyo, building a rapidly growing international audience. The band also appeared at major events across Asia, including ChinaJoy in Shanghai, Park Park Carnival in Taipei, China Festival in Tokyo, and HUSH!! Beach Concerts in Macau. During their second Asian tour, which included Taipei, Seoul, Macau, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai, their first headline show in Taipei sold out. In January 2026, IRIS MONDO received the International Special Award at Taiwan's StreetVoice Awards for their song "Soutai Aizo Love Song," further establishing their reputation outside Japan. The band's overseas activities continue to accelerate with confirmed festival appearances in Taiwan and South Korea, along with an upcoming headline tour across approximately 10 cities in Japan and four Asian territories: Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand. With a rapidly expanding international fanbase, a unique artistic vision, and an ever-growing presence across Asia, IRIS MONDO is establishing itself as one of Japan's most exciting next-generation alternative rock acts.
