The demon has come.

Although demons are the ones who get pelted with beans during Setsubun, regardless of good or evil, oni are an indispensable presence in various aspects of Japanese culture, such as folktales and children’s songs.

Their look is so iconic that any Japanese person can instantly picture it; the image is deeply embedded in us.

Ogres viewed from a unique angle are depicted in “Oni ga Kita” by the popular male-female duo Humbert Humbert.

Included on their eighth album, “Mukashi Boku wa Mijime Datta,” released in 2014, the song is grounded in American roots music, and its gentle melody carries words that seem to draw out the darkness within human beings.

What, then, is the ‘oni’ being sung about here? I hope you’ll listen while pondering that question.
