Onmyo-za Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Cherry Blossom Ninja ScrollsOnmyoza8rank/position

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.

This is an original track written for the pachislot version of Basilisk, featuring a heavy guitar riff from the intro that feels great.

They’re known for playing straightforward heavy metal, but this song is crafted to lean more toward the anime’s worldview compared to their usual work.

The guitar solo in the break feels really satisfying!

Onikiri Ninja Chronicles: Live Version
Oni-Slaying Ninja ScrollOnmyoza

Onmyo-za, who champion a one-of-a-kind genre they call Yokai Heavy Metal and perform ferocious sets in traditional Japanese attire, deliver the goods here.

Featured on their December 1999 album Kikoku Tensei, this track ignites the fighting spirit to battle demons.

Riding on a breakneck band sound, the lyrics vow not only to cut down the demons attacking from without, but also to sever the demons lurking within one’s own heart.

It goes beyond a simple monster-slaying tale, moving you with its resolve to face one’s own weaknesses.

It’s a perfect self-empowerment anthem when you want to accomplish something!
