It is a female trio of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music alumni who graduated in 2003. The band made their performing debut in December 2003, at Meguro Gajoen, and in April 2004, their first single, called Sakitama, was released by avex trax.

Chie Arai and Mana Yoshinaga play koto, sangen, and jushichi-gen, while Tomoca Nagasu plays biwa and shakuhachi. All three perform vocals.

According to the band's website, the name Rin' comes from the English word 'ring', the Japanese word Wa (和, meaning both 'ring' and 'Japanese-style'), and from the trio's hope to create a 'ring', or circle, of music.

Since their debut, the band has performed in many venues around the world, and have released four singles and several albums. A number of their songs have been used as themes for anime and movies, most notable is Fuhen used in the Samurai 7 anime.

Their chief international album, Inland Sea, was released worldwide: in Europe and the United States on April 25, 2006 and in Japan on August 30, 2006, featuring guest performances by Leigh Nash and Lisa Loeb.

Weakness
Rin' Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

雑踏に混ぎれて消えた
言叶达と溜め息と
此れからも増え続けてく
必要のない荷物

何时もとは违う电车で
持て余した时间使う
半日の时のズレさえ

吸い込む隧道（トンネル）

「疲れた日々お休みなさい」
自分に舍て台词（せりふ）投げて
座る场所を探している
面倒は避げて通ればいい？

容易（たやす）く手に入れた物なんて
失うことだって简単

割れて散らかった镜覗き込む
「今の自分好きですか？」

镜の裏侧なんて何かがある訳じゃないよ
No place to hide, detected by yourself
We'll see our weakness in you and me

忘れた尽（まま）になってしまった
湿気た去年の花火の様に
记忆と思い出闭じ込めていたら
自分らしくないかもねっ
雑踏に混ぎれて消えた
言叶达と溜め息と

此れからも増え続けてく
必要のない荷物

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rin's song "Weakness" describe a sense of feeling lost and overwhelmed in the midst of a crowded and busy urban environment. The opening lines discuss how words and sighs can disappear amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, hinting at a sense of loneliness and despair. The following lines describe how we can often hold onto unnecessary baggage and items that cause us more harm than good, and how we can use this time to let go of them in order to move forward.

The song then moves on to discussing the idea of self-care and the importance of taking time for oneself. The lyrics recommend taking a break from the daily stresses and responsibilities of life and finding a quiet place to rest and reflect. However, the lyrics also acknowledge that avoiding problems and challenges altogether is not the answer, and that facing our own weaknesses and flaws is an essential part of personal growth and self-improvement.

The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, discussing the idea of looking into broken pieces of a mirror and asking ourselves if we truly like who we see. The lyrics suggest that there is no place to hide from ourselves, and that our weaknesses are ever-present within us. Ultimately, the song ends with a sense of acceptance and acknowledgment that, while we may feel lost and overwhelmed at times, we can still move forward and let go of unnecessary baggage in order to become our true selves.
