It did not take much time for their melodies to capture much of attention and respect from surrounding artists and audience. They soon successfully established themselves in the limelight of the J-pop scene, as their self-titled debut album "KIRINJI" released indie in 1997. They made their major debut in 1998 with Warner Music Japan.Their 3rd album "3" (released in 2000) which included 'Aliens' and was a smash hit in Japan. In 2003 they transferred to the record company TOSHIBA EMI, and in November of the same year, the duo embarked on a 7-city-nationwide tour, including the Budokan in Tokyo.
Kirinji switched labels again in 2005 to Columbia Music Entertainment. From there, the brothers began to work on solo projects; Yasuyuki made his solo debut as 馬の骨 (Uma no Hone) in June, followed by Takaki releasing his solo album in November.
In April 2013, Yasuyuki left the band. Takaki assembled a number of musicians from other bands to continue the project: Hitoshi Kusunoki (楠均, drums), Manabu Chigasaki (千ヶ崎学, bass/synth bass/vocal), Gen'ichi Tamura (田村玄一, steel guitar/steel pan/guitar/vocal), Erino Yumiki (弓木英梨乃, vocal/guitar/violin), and Kotringo (コトリンゴ, vocal/piano/keyboard). The band switched labels once again to Verve in summer 2014. Together they released an album in August of that year titled "11" and went on a national tour from September through November.

キリンジ Lyrics
冬のオルカ 逃げるホライゾン 東の彼方に嗤うオレの未来よ 西日あつめて進むセダンは 褪せたシートに涎た夏を染めたまま 季節を滑る…
双子座グラフィティ あぁ君は月明りと はしゃいでるマーメイドさ 長いその腕で 思いのたけを放ち 眠れない夜に謳歌を蒔いて行く 誰かのファン…
甘やかな身体 晴れのち曇り 白いバイパス 正午にテレビをつける 鬱が停泊する ひぐれてしまう もよおしてしまう 僕らは夕食も待てない …
野良の虹 女の子のヒップは白くて冷たい 捻くれてるキッスは涙で甘辛い さよなら またあおうね 涸れた頬をよせあう 流星のイレズ…
雨を見くびるな あぁ 口づけで責めてみても カエルの面にシャンパンか 舌を噛むなんてヒドいな ご挨拶じゃないか みろ 曖昧な笑みが浮かぶ…
風を撃て 香る夜を背に控えて待つ夕暮れが 誰の仕業? 崩れ落ちた 太陽に身を凭れトランペットが叫ぶよ 赤黒い雲 燻る闇の音色 風…
