That’s really interesting! Feel free to post more about them if you like. Do they talk about which youkai each member represents for example? Or is that obvious to an average Japanese person just by looking at them?
The current members are Nika (Fox), Madoka (Oni), Yui (Snow Woman), Marina (Spider) and Kanon (Cat). The spirits have actual names (Oni = Nio, Snow Woman = Yuki Onna), but I don’t have time to look them up at the moment 😅
Lol, that’s certainly an interesting concept for an idol group. Next you’re going to tell me there’s an actual zombie idol group out there!
Btw, could you maybe edit the post title so it contains the title “Samba de Onija” in romaji?
Fixed the title to the actual Romaji version!
I’ve been talking with this group almost four years, and they’re all really nice. Some even try to talk in English if they know you speak it 😁
Cheers!

It’s probably familiar to anyone Japanese, but here’s a source on the folklore it pulls from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyakki_Yagyō
