Latest Lyric Video Reconnects KIRINJI With Fans!

“Saikai” Digital Jacket Cover

To celebrate the release of their latest single “再会” (“Saikai”) across all music streaming platforms, popular band KIRINJI released the lyric video for the track on their YouTube channel. KIRINJI graduated from the band system at the end of 2020 and became a "variable and loosely connected music group" led by Takaki Horigome in 2021.

“Saikai”, the first release of the new system, is a song with a bright and danceable track which fans can’t help but jive to the beat to. The lyrics illustrate the wish to reunite with important people during these difficult times, and with that blend it brings out the best feature of KIRINJI’s sound in recent years. This sound creation exquisitely blends a certain live instrument for an out of this world sound that must be listened to. Continuing from the band era, Manabu Chigasaki participated in the bass performance, and the mix was handled by Masahito Komori; this was Komori’s first time participating in KIRINJI's work.

The lyric video was directed by Eisuke Shirota, who also worked on the videos for "AIの逃避行 feat. Charisma.com” (“AI No Tohiko feat. Charisma.com”) and "時間がない" (“Jikan ga Nai”). It features a basic room with various objects, like a laptop and desk, featured throughout. The lyrics flow in a dancing typeface while the scenery and lights of the movie are projected. You can also check the English translation of the lyrics by selecting the subtitles option.
