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 ↴
wrapping and making us grow
like watching over us
that are moving
we always feel the sunlight
and are thankful
Sometimes there are times think,
"doesn't the sun feel sad
but actually it doesn't matter
to the sun which keeps burning
without question
and then i think...
i want to become the sun
the moon always shines light
to the forests
and towns where no one is
when we sleep
on the way home and when we
close the curtains we look
at the moon and feel somewhat
calm and fall asleep
we don't care about the light
that the moon shines all night
sometime there are times that i
think,"the moon
is alone in the far away sky
but doesn't look sad
like the sun".
but actually it doesn't matter
to the moon which keeps
shining without question
the sun that keeps burning
and the moon that keeps shining
