Yokai Festival Dance

月が昇れば　街の角 小さな灯りが　ゆらりゆらり 鬼火が飛んで　天狗が笑う 今夜はみんなで　お祭りだ からかさ　ぴょんと跳ねたなら 狐も狸も　手を叩く ネオンの川を　越えて来て 秘密の太鼓が　鳴り出した どろろん　どろんと　雲が割れ 星まで一緒に　踊り出す 右へ　左へ　手拍子合わせ せーので　よいやっさ 妖怪音頭で　回れ回れ 月夜の真ん中　きらりきらり 怖くないよ　みんなで笑えば 百鬼夜行も　花火になる よいさ　よいさ　ほいさ　ほいさ あやかしビートで　どんどんどん 妖怪音頭で　騒げ騒げ 朝が来るまで　どんどんどん よいやっさ　ほいさ　ほいさ よいやっさ　ほいさ　ほいさ 踊れや踊れ　回れや回れ 妖怪音頭で　どんどんどん 路地の向こうで　猫又が 尻尾を二つに　ゆらりゆらり ろくろ首さえ　首を伸ばして やぐらの上から　歌ってる お化けの声も　怖くない リズムに乗せたら　ラララ　ラララ 悩みも影も　輪になって 太鼓の音へ　溶けてゆく ひゅるりら　ひゅるりら　風が吹き 提灯明かりが　夢を見る 前へ　後ろへ　手拍子合わせ せーので　よいやっさ 妖怪音頭で　回れ回れ 心の真ん中　ひらりひらり ひとりじゃない　みんなで歌えば 暗い夜さえ　祭りになる よいさ　よいさ　ほいさ　ほいさ あやかしビートで　どんどんどん 妖怪音頭で　騒げ騒げ 夢の向こうへ　どんどんどん 暗い気持ちも　輪の中へ 名前を呼べば　光り出す 笑ってしまえば　不思議だね 涙もきらりと　星になる 太鼓が　どんと鳴ったなら 足音そろえて　もう一度 人間も妖怪も　関係ない 今夜はみんなが　仲間だよ 妖怪音頭で　回れ回れ 月夜の真ん中　きらりきらり 怖くないよ　みんなで笑えば 百鬼夜行も　花火になる よいさ　よいさ　ほいさ　ほいさ あやかしビートで　どんどんどん 妖怪音頭で　騒げ騒げ 朝が来るまで　どんどんどん よいやっさ　ほいさ　ほいさ よいやっさ　ほいさ　ほいさ 月が沈んで　朝が来る またねと笑って　消えてゆく ぱぱんが　ぱん　ぱぱんが　ぱん 妖怪音頭　また会おう

When the moon climbs over the corner of town little lanterns flicker, swaying, swaying will-o'-the-wisps fly up, a tengu laughs tonight we're all together — it's a festival When the karakasa umbrella gives a hop foxes and tanuki clap their hands come across the river of neon and a secret taiko starts to sound Doron, doron — the clouds split wide and we dance our way up to the stars to the right, to the left, clap along in time ready now — yoi-yassa! With the Yokai Ondo, spin and spin right in the moonlit night, glittering, glittering there's nothing to fear when we laugh together even the night parade turns to fireworks Yoisa, yoisa, hoisa, hoisa on this spirit beat — don, don, don with the Yokai Ondo, raise it up till the morning comes — don, don, don Yoi-yassa, hoisa, hoisa yoi-yassa, hoisa, hoisa dance now, dance — spin now, spin with the Yokai Ondo — don, don, don Beyond the alley a nekomata splits its tail in two, swaying, swaying even a rokurokubi cranes its neck singing from high on the festival tower Even the voices of ghosts aren't scary ride them on the rhythm — la la la, la la la worries and shadows all form a ring melting into the sound of the drum Hyururira, hyururira — the wind blows through the lantern light begins to dream forward, backward, clap along in time ready now — yoi-yassa! With the Yokai Ondo, spin and spin right in the heart of you, fluttering, fluttering you're not alone when we sing together even the darkest night becomes a festival Yoisa, yoisa, hoisa, hoisa on this spirit beat — don, don, don with the Yokai Ondo, raise it up off beyond our dreams — don, don, don Even gloomy feelings, into the ring call out their name and they start to shine once you let yourself laugh, isn't it strange even tears turn glittering into stars When the taiko gives a mighty "don" match your footsteps once again human or yokai, it makes no difference tonight every one of us is a friend With the Yokai Ondo, spin and spin right in the moonlit night, glittering, glittering there's nothing to fear when we laugh together even the night parade turns to fireworks Yoisa, yoisa, hoisa, hoisa on this spirit beat — don, don, don with the Yokai Ondo, raise it up till the morning comes — don, don, don Yoi-yassa, hoisa, hoisa yoi-yassa, hoisa, hoisa The moon goes down, the morning comes "see you," we laugh, and fade away papan-ga-pan, papan-ga-pan Yokai Ondo — let's meet again
