Onmyouza - Sogenbi~Manji 叢原火～卍 live

Dec. 24. 2007 / Zepp Tokyo

By way of precaution:
"卍" symbolizes ninja here, though it's often used as a Buddhistic symbol. Anyway, this swastika has nothing to do with political things.

Yeah, the name of that symbol is the "manji" in the song name, and it represents balance and eternity. The nazi version is the same, but mirror imaged. It saddens me that they had to take a perfectly good symbol and give it such a bad name. Makes it really hard to cosplay the character Manji from Blade of the Immortal... v_v

[kagitsune]

Haha! Yeah, silly western people tend to take perfectly good symbols and turn them into controversial things.... like rainbows and manjis. ;_;

Awesome! Nice to see a band actually putting on a show instead of just standing there looking contrived and goofy. Onmyou-za obviously puts a lot of energy into their live performances and I really enjoy that. As well as passion and excitement--people wonder why I feel the Japanese are beating us Americans at our own game (rock n' roll), and this is evidence as to why I feel that way. Ganbare, Onmyou-za!

卍真的超棒

[leoboiko]

is it just me, or the lyrics are, in fact, _about_ the main character from Blade of the Immortal?
