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
Butter No You Ni 柳のように揺れるネクタイの 裏地に染み入る嘆き 収まるように収まるさと 慰められて 収まるように収まったなら それでいい…
Ibara Ni Kuchizuke Wo "Hold on!"風の声を お前は ふり切って逃げた どこまでも 緑は海原のよう いいさ 野生の花を ごらん どこにで…
itsumo kawaii baby 真昼の光の中の 君の影を追った 眩しかった 夜はこうして見つめているよ 柔らかい明かりの下で 電話をしまおう …
Kyou No Uta 新しい流行をまとい はしゃぐ君の 愛おしさ 幼い子供のような その笑み 失ってくれるな 春風に桜舞う公園は 今年もいっそ…
Namida Ni Akitara 涙にあきたら いつでもここにおいで 歌おう 踊ろう 笑える映画もあるしね 君がくれたグラスに 花も挿したところさ たった…
Ryuu No Ko 誰に知れず夜を行く 川よ 幼き竜よ 永い時の中を 向かう海は遠く 朝の光 追いかけて 昨日が飲み込んでしまえ 鱗が 煌め…
Soushun 雪の下には春だぜ 前足で探る君よ 枝をくぐり川を走れ 山が光っているだろう ぬかる道で躍るのかい 尻尾が千切れそう 遠く…
TREKKING SONG 地下道を抜ければ 黄金の季節 靴ひもキツく締めるんだ sing sing sing a song いつでも歌を far …
