About the Track

“Scarlet Oni” unfolds as an AI-generated music ritual — an echo of Japanese Folklore HipHop where lo-fi Japan meets AI Art Fusion. Within its spectral beats, the song channels the Phantom Tone aesthetic: spiritual beats drawn from the mountain myth of Shinogamine, layered with AI sound design and a dark Japanese chill beat aura. The composition dances between ghostly rhythm and kotodama, expressing the breath of an ancient oni bound to fire and prayer.

Concept & Symbolism

This track invokes the Scarlet Oni—a spirit of wrath and sorrow, embodying the cycle of sacrifice and memory. Through ethereal AI vocal layering, its voice shifts between anger and requiem, reflecting the reincarnation motif that runs through many Japanese mythology music pieces. The soundscape mirrors phantom cities and night shrines, where faith decays into ritual silence. The oni’s scarlet flame represents not evil, but the persistence of forgotten emotion.

Hook Words Analysis

Three symbolic words from the lyrics—core to emotion and theme.

• 焔 (Flame): Symbolizes spiritual purification and rage entwined, a heartbeat of rebirth through destruction.
• 祈り (Prayer): The human attempt to connect across realms, distorted into echoing futility.
• 咢 (Jaw / Cry): Represents the physical manifestation of agony—the sound of a trapped deity’s lament.

Together they embody the spirit of kotodama—the belief that every sound holds living power.

Lyrics (Original Japanese)

紫焔纏う篠ヶ峰　朧に哭く鬼の脚跡
焦香の風　裂く梢に　秘紋ゆらめく古の拍動
赫き影　翻す祠裏　祀りの鎖　囁く夜の痙
遭わぬ者は眠れ　研ぎ澄まされた咆　篠ヶ峰に沈む伝承

朽碑の紋が呼ぶ　荒廃の調べ
踏みしめる度に揺らぐ　有らざる声の層

篠ヶ峰の鬼　靄裂く嘶きの鼓動
胸を掻く残像　焼ける幻の祈り
浮かぶ朱の面　吼える深淵の律
遺すは古の咢　夜を呑む鬼気の譚

漆黒潜る霧野脈　朽ちた祠呼ぶ深淵譚
焦魄の罅　裂く影踪に　幽結ほどけぬ古の呪鎖脈
赫魂の揺　這い寄る哭紋　紡げぬ契りが染む黙陰の底
鎮めを拒む深井　緋の鬼貌が嗤い　篠ヶ峰を巡り脈打つ伝哭譚

苔むす祀り戸が　微かに開き
黙然の闇を裂く　脈動の渦が呼ぶ

篠ヶ峰の鬼　焔纏い吼える伝承
胸を灼く残魄　祈りを裂く影絵
揺らぐ深紺の空　裂けて覗く瞳
燃ゆる古の咢　時を噛む鬼気の譚

Artistic Commentary

The AI soundscape interweaves koto, shakuhachi, and bass through AI-driven mixing, evoking a meditative trance. Each rhythmic layer mirrors the ritualistic call and response of yokai chants, translated into modern Japanese soundscape form. This is AI-generated Music as mythic reconstruction — a sonic prayer rising from silence to flame, where generative sound becomes remembrance.

Folklore Origin: The Oni of Shinogamine

篠ヶ峰の鬼 (Shinogamine no Oni) — said to be the scarlet guardian of forgotten shrines, a flame deity once worshipped by mountain priests. Betrayed and sealed beneath stone, its cry burns through mist. Each verse captures the echo of that imprisonment, the rhythm of chains turned to heartbeat.

• 紫焔纏う篠ヶ峰 — the purple flame of divine sorrow.
• 祀りの鎖　囁く夜 — ritual chains murmuring in moonlight.
• 焔纏い吼える伝承 — the myth reborn as burning defiance.
