Onmyouza - Onmyo-Za are a Japanese heavy metal band who released their first commercial album in 1999. They play quite orthodox heavy metal music comparable to Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, mixed with Japanese folk/pop musical elements. Their name Onmyoza refers to the gathering of yin and yang, and this is also represented by the female and male vocals. Their songs mainly deal with oni, yokai, the Japanese dragon etc, but some songs have more concrete theme and inspiration. For example, Onmyo-za have ever composed 10 Ninpocho songs. 'Ninpocho' means 'tales of ninja magic', and those songs are tribute to Japanese author Futaro Yamada and his Ninpocho series. Their hit song 'Koga Ninpocho' was written for anime 'Basilisk' of which the original story is Futaro Yamada's 'Koga Ninpocho'.
