I've never actually gone looking for Onmyou-za translations, and I'm too crampy and bleary-eyed to hunt right this second. But the band basically sounds a bit like what Nightwish might be like if they were Japanese, and performed in Heian-era formal wear for extra visual appeal. "Kappa Dance" starts out like one of their usual songs, showy metal with dual lead vocalists, one female...but then it just randomly turns into this huge goofy audience-participation bit that looks like it's maybe based on some kind of folk dance. (I know there's at least one town that has a shinto kappa festival with associated dances, but haven't been able to find clips to compare.) It just seems like the sort of thing the guys would all tease him about, to go with all the canon jokes about antennae or the fanon where folks delve into various bits of kappa folklore like the cucumber thing.

(What can I say, easily amused here...kappa maki's always been one of my fave types of sushi, and now it makes me giggle uncontrollably too.)
