Kahimi sings in English, French, and Japanese (among other languages) with breathy child-like vocals. Her music can be considered ethereal, whispery pop; a number of songs have been written for her by Momus. She also has a strong connection to Cornelius, who collaborated on many early works, and whose trendy Trattoria label released many of her EPs in the mid-'90s.

カヒミ・カリィ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
なにもなく
想いだけが
風に
ただ風に
ゆれている
ふたりで
手をのばして
そのほかに
なにも
なにもなく
想いだけが
雨に
この雨に
ぬれている
These lyrics are from the song "そのほかに" (Sono Hoka ni) by カヒミ・カリィ (Kahimi Karie). The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and isolation, where there seems to be nothing else but one's thoughts. The repetition of "なにもなく" (nani mo naku) emphasizes the absence or lack of something, while "想いだけが" (omoi dake ga) emphasizes that only thoughts remain.
The imagery of the lyrics revolves around the wind and the rain. The thoughts are depicted as gently swaying in the wind, trying to reach the blue sky. However, they are also soaked in the rain. This contrast between the wind and the rain could represent the fluctuating emotions of the individuals in the song. Despite the emptiness and isolation, there is a longing to connect with something beyond oneself.
Overall, "そのほかに" captures a sense of melancholy and introspection, highlighting the emptiness that can sometimes accompany strong emotions and the desire for connection in such moments.
