Kirinji Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

AliensKirinji1rank/position

Kirinji – Aliens

An urban soul sound like no other from the Saitama-born brother duo, Kirinji.

It’s a nostalgic yet bittersweet classic that conjures scenes like the rooftops of public housing complexes and the stillness before dawn.

The lyrics, depicting two people nurturing love out in the sticks while carrying feelings of alienation and loneliness in a society they can’t quite fit into, resonate deeply with listeners.

Released as a single in October 2000 and included on the acclaimed album “3,” this track is perfect for late nights spent alone or quiet evenings with someone special.

If you’re looking for stylish, soul-stirring music, give it a listen.

DrifterKirinji2rank/position

Kirinji – Drifter

Even among famous artists, Kirinji has many fans.

The title “Drifter” means something like a wanderer, and the song has a slightly aimless, drifting feel.

Yet it resonates with anyone.

It’s a track that pierces the heart—one I really hope you’ll listen to.

Good day, goodbyeKirinji3rank/position

Kirinji – Good Day, Goodbye

It’s a stylish track with a retro vibe, a good tempo, and an infectious groove.

You’ll likely find yourself captivated by the gentle vocals and parade-like instrumentation.

Why not let the energetic performance carry you and hum along to the chic melody?

ArcadiaKirinji4rank/position

Kirinji – Arcadia

One of Kirinji’s signature songs is Aliens.

It’s a wonderfully downbeat yet sexy track, but because it’s so well-known, you often end up overlapping with others when you sing it at karaoke, right? That’s why I recommend Arcadia.

While it exudes the same kind of downbeat vibe as Aliens, it also features sections with a distinctly rock-flavored sound.

If you deliberately choose to sing this song, long-time music aficionados will surely be impressed by your taste.

Someone’s birthday again todayKirinji5rank/position

Someone's birthday again today

Crafted by Kirinji, known for their urban, sophisticated sound, this is a gem of a birthday song.

Included on their March 2008 album “7-seven-,” the track originally came to life as part of a 2007 project.

Its warm message—wishing that on their birthday, at least, everyone can be happy—truly resonates.

Stylish, starry-night soundscapes and gentle vocals add sparkle to a special day.

Though the world holds its share of bittersweet moments, the theme of making the night of celebration the best time gently sinks into an adult heart.

It’s a perfect number for a calm, intimate celebration with someone dear.

Gemini GraffitiKirinji6rank/position

Kirinji – Gemini Graffiti

This is the opening number of Kirinji’s first album.

If you recently discovered Kirinji through “Aliens,” I hope you’ll listen to their other songs as well.

I think a first album often captures the artist in an unvarnished, concentrated form.

This track sparkles with Kirinji’s charm.

It’s a mysterious Kirinji world where cuteness and a touch of irony coexist.

Their exquisite musical sensibility shines in this song too.

Taurus RhapsodyKirinji7rank/position

Kirinji – Taurus Rhapsody

Formed by brothers, the band Kirinji released “Taurus Rhapsody” in 1999.

It was used as the theme song for the drama Natsuiro no Koi (Summer-Colored Love).

The lyrics suggest various animals engaging in a quarrel-like back-and-forth.

While there aren’t any descriptions that specifically evoke sibling interactions, it’s easy to imagine that the brother duo Kirinji, even if they sometimes argued, managed to create a masterpiece every time.

It’s especially recommended for those with sibling relationships where you can push each other higher—even while fighting!
