Information:
The name of this group roughly translates into "Onmyou Gathering", "Onmyou" meaning something like "opposites" (yin and yang, etc.). Their catch phrase is "youkai heavy metal" or "Ghost heavy metal". They appear on stage wearing costumes from the Heian period, and make an effort to not use any non-Japanese words in their lyrics, as well as making use of older Japanese words from eras passed. The themes of their songs are primarily ghosts and demons.
Fans of this group are referred to as "shikigami" ("Gods of Ceremony"). Also the group has a support member named "Tora" who is responsible for Drums/Percussion.
