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.
