music: info coming/ lyrics: Kaya

Thickly scorched, the scent of the night begins to decend
It brings the thunder to its roll, the flowers of my farewell to bloom

To the power lying deep within me, upon you I call!
Cry out! Roar till you're hoarse
Reflect my seething soul

atsuku kogeta yoru no nioi ga michite yuku
raimei hibikase ketsubetsu no hana ga saku

kokoro no soko kakushin ni yadoru chikara yo
yobu no yo koe o karashi
tagiru tamashii

I'll hold my painful memories to me with both hands
And forever bury them away

itamu omoi o ryoute ni idaite
itoshii hibi o houmuri saru no

A large spot adorning the night cuts the sky through
A glistening flower of light in full bloom
It will change this instant for all eternity

Ouzora o kirisaite yoru o kazaru tairin
adeyaka na hikari no hana
shunkan o towa ni kaete

To the power lying deep within me, upon you I call!
Cry out! Roar till you're hoarse
Reflect my seething soul

kokoro no soko kakushin ni yadoru chikara yo
yobu no yo koe o karashi
tagiru tamashii

You'll have to try to stomp me down harder
This skin of mine will still remain pure

motto watashi o fuminijireba ii
watashi no hada wa yogosare wa shinai

A large spot adorning the night cuts the sky through
A glistening flower of light in full bloom
It will change this instant for all eternity

Ouzora o kirisaite yoru o kazaru tairin
adeyaka na hikari no hana
shunkan o towa ni kaete

You'll have to try to stomp me down harder
This skin of mine will still remain pure

motto watashi o fuminijireba ii
watashi no hada wa yogosare wa shinai

A large spot adorning the night cuts the sky through
A glistening flower of light in full bloom
It will change this instant for all eternity

Ouzora o kirisaite yoru o kazaru tairin
adeyaka na hikari no hana
shunkan o towa ni kaete

My memories! Brilliantly scatter away!
And should my voice reach but to the end of the night
To everywhere both far and wide

Then I know I wouldn't care
if I left everything behind

omoi yo azayaka ni chire
kono koe ga yoru no hate
kanata made todoku no nara

subete sutete mo kamawanai

Kasha - according to story this is a demon that made a lot of appearances in the Western part of Japan such as Izumo and Satsuma, and from time to time in the East as well.
It happened that sometimes during funerals there would be a sudden gail, which would grow in intensity until it became fierce enough to knock those in the funeral procession over. It would then whisk the casket from their shoulders and go so far as to take to cover off the top. In times like these they would say [the corpse] had been "caught by the Kasha", and it would be a cause of great anger and mortification, for folk legend stated that this was the doing of the Kasha, which would come if the person had committed a large number of sins during their life to carry them off to Hell.
Originally it would appear from time in Buddhism texts as "Ingakiyou", but there are many more mentions of "being caught by the Kasha", as per the Japanese version. The story was not limited to funerals however, and there still remain occasional stories of ordinary days where an old woman, abhored by everybody, would state her intention to go to the lavatory and upon stepping outside would be confronted by a a black cloud that would suddenly swoop down from the sky and carry her away. But this cloud is also at times referred to as Mouryou, another beast, and it seems that the "mouryou" and "kasha" were thought of as the same class of demon.
In addition, there is a soul that resides in every person, and we call the state of being where this soul has left the body and can never return again "death", and there are some who believe this demon is an evil spirit that attempts to invade the flesh of the people whose souls it takes to the sky and live in their stead.

So like, I've been reading about another demon
who goes around licking hot oil from hotpots or something.
The Japanese sure have great demons.
