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

水辺の生き物
だから陸では生きてゆけない
気がしている
飛び込み台に立った
瞬間に僕が僕であるということを
忘れられるんだ
ロッカールームの薄暗がりで
シャツを脱いで
密かに生まれ変わるのさ
欲しいものは見えている

水の中に漂っている
それは身体だけが知っている
All I want is just truth
小麦色の肌を滑る
水飛沫の行方を教えてよ、女子!
ひたすらに泳いだ
後は筋肉の翅が生えている
赤い背中に
Ah 夕陽の中で考えている
明日の朝に
世界は脱皮するのかと
欲しいものは見えている
水の中に僕の影を追う
捕まえたと思えば逃げてる
All I want is just truth

十四時過ぎの陽炎
プールサイドは地獄より熱く
水を切り裂く音だけが
響きわたる夏
欲しいものは見えている
水の中に僕の影を追う
捕まえたと思えば逃げてる
All I want is just truth
欲しいものは見えている
水の中に漂っている
それは身体だけが知っている
All I want is just truth
心ならもう決まってる
僕の前を僕の影が往く
遠く遠く遠く遠く遠く果てる日まで
ああ、泳ぐだけさ
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa
