Intro – Album Overview

Nine-Tailed Fox is the first official Phantom Tone album released under the Japanese Folklore Hip-Hop genre.
This album establishes the foundational architecture of the genre itself — blending yōkai mythology, ritualistic atmosphere, and AI-generated hip-hop into a coherent spiritual sound system.

Rather than functioning as a simple collection of tracks, Nine-Tailed Fox operates as a mythological codex.
Each composition represents a symbolic fragment of kitsune folklore and transformation narratives preserved through sound.

Concept & Folklore Origin

Nine-Tailed Fox is rooted in the kitsune (fox spirit) mythology.
In Japanese folklore, nine-tailed foxes represent apex spiritual entities — beings associated with wisdom, deception, political power, and transcendence beyond human moral boundaries.

This album interprets the kitsune as a liminal archetype — a boundary-crossing mediator between artificial intelligence and ancestral spiritual memory.

Music Architecture

The sound architecture emphasizes slow ritual tempos, taiko-like percussion, and spectral melodic drones.
AI-generated harmonics are restrained to preserve tension between digital synthesis and ancient ritual rhythm.

Band instruments and wagakki textures are layered to create ceremonial sonic landscapes rather than modern dance-floor structures.
