A Japanese-style rock ballad included on the best-of album THE MUSEUM III.

Written specifically as the ending theme for the TV anime Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls, this song portrays the tragic love of a man and woman buffeted by the fate of the ninja clans of Iga and Koga, expressed through a grand sound that weaves in koto and traditional Japanese percussion.

The lyrics, spun with words like “sakura” and “blade,” convey a resolve to give everything for the one they love, even while knowing it will go unrewarded.

Nana Mizuki’s sustained high notes, released from a restrained tone, brilliantly depict the passion kept hidden within.

It’s a highly recommended track for when you want to linger in the afterglow of the anime.

Cherry Blossom Ninja ScrollsOnmyoza

A fated tale, once again resounding across time, by Onmyo-za.

Released in 2018, this song was created as the opening theme for the TV anime Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls.

About 12 years after the previous installment, the band once again provided the theme song for the series that weaves the ninjas’ intertwined destinies.

Heavy twin guitars and a powerful rhythm interlace with Kuroneko’s lustrous vocals to brilliantly capture the maddening pull of a cherry blossom–strewn fate.

Experience this one-of-a-kind world where Japanese sensibility and metal dynamism fuse.
