  1. The demonic highs of ‘Onimusha’ make up for jarring lows

    If a new album has some real bangers alongside a few dud tracks you always skip, can it…

  2. #Airisu: The Crow and the Witch

    “Hurry,” Sumika said, holding out the basket. “Lady Osakabe’s crows are coming.”

    I looked towards the castle and saw black dots growing larger by the second. It was too late to escape, so I did the only thing possible: I hopped into the basket.

    “Clicky, clack, crolark.” It was cramped and smelled nasty in there. The only saving grace was that I could peer through the #warped weave.

    Mistress draped a kimono sleeve over the basket, and my panic swelled. I had to use the human portion of my brain to force it down, reminding myself that if I struggled, I would damage my wings and feathers.

    “Ack!!!” I cawed.

    “Quiet! They’ll hear you!”

    This was hard. I considered sticking my head out. That would make things much better. Then I heard a jumble of large-bills cawing.

    “I don’t recognise her,” cawed the first voice.

    “She's an outsider,” responded a second voice.

    “I sense magic. Has a kitsune possessed her?” asked a third jungle crow.

    “We must tell the Lady,” the second large-billed cawed.

    “Clicktoo, look for a kitsune,” a commanding voice said. “The rest of you fly to the Lady and inform her a spirit summoner lurks in the town. I’ll watch her and come later.”

    There was the sound of wings and then silence.

    Ha ha,” I thought. “My mistress is so smart! We showed those stupid spawn of a cowbird.

    I peeked out between the willow lathes and saw we were moving down the road. That explained the basket’s rocking. Up and down, I bounced, knocking against the sides. It was all I could do not to swear or say, “Stop that, you lumbering ox!

  4. Je n'avais pas tout bien préparé pour le voyage au #Japon (en même temps, qui prépare son voyage seulement un mois et demi à l'avance ? 😬) mais j'avais quand même pris quelques bouquins adaptés. 😁

    Sur la photo, dans le train #Yōkai en route vers #SakaiMinato, une de mes nièces lit « À l'intérieur de #Kitaro » de #ShigeruMizuki (publié en français aux #ÉditionsCornélius). La banquette sur laquelle elle est assise est décorée avec les personnages du #manga.

  5. Biwabokuboku - 琵琶牧々 - [yokai]
    A top of the line, wooden biwa lute which has come to life after 100 years of neglect from its owners: a once famous, mournful for not being played, now it wanders as a blind monk, playin' for tips.
