Lyric

A Night Parade of a Hundred Demons of Love and Kitsunebi Love Letter are two songs built around the theme of "Japanese folklore × romance," blending traditional Japanese imagery such as yokai, fox spirits, Inari shrines, torii gates, kitsunebi, proverbs, and playful wordplay with modern emotions of love.

A Night Parade of a Hundred Demons of Love is an upbeat Japanese-style dance-pop track that turns the restlessness and emotional chaos of falling in love into a supernatural night parade. Waiting endlessly for a reply is compared to a rokurokubi with an ever-stretching neck, while an unreadable wall of "seen" messages becomes a nurikabe. Catchy phrases such as "Yokai? Koi kai?" and "Hyakki! Yagyo!" are layered over shamisen, taiko drums, and a four-on-the-floor beat, transforming romantic confusion into the energy of a festival.

Kitsunebi Love Letter, on the other hand, is a Japanese-inspired love song about an unspoken crush, set against the imagery of an Inari shrine, vermilion torii gates, fox masks, and mysterious foxfire. The story begins with a playful reversal: she meant to be the one doing the bewitching, but before she knew it, she had fallen in love herself. At its emotional core lies a simple wish: rather than changing into the kind of person her crush might like, she wants to be loved exactly as she is. Memorable hooks such as "Kon kon, koi shite" and "Kitsunebi, pappa" are combined with koto, shamisen, taiko, and handclaps, creating a sound that is cute, nostalgic, and slightly bittersweet.

Although both songs explore romance through Japanese folklore, A Night Parade of a Hundred Demons of Love captures a night when love runs wild and turns into a celebration, while Kitsunebi Love Letter portrays a quieter night when hidden feelings are gently sent toward someone special.

One is the excitement of love that feels almost supernatural.
The other is a fragile feeling that flickers like foxfire but refuses to disappear.

Together, they form two distinct love stories that reinterpret traditional Japanese motifs through modern J-pop in Ichiki's own style.
