Oni

44 (Yoshi) - New Single "Oni"

Electronic artist 44 (Yoshi) releases a new single, "Oni."

"Oni" is a song about anger, inspired by a traditional Japanese idea: when someone gets angry, they "turn into an oni (demon)."
Released around the season of Setsubun, the song connects this cultural image with modern society, where people are often forced to suppress their emotions. Instead of treating anger as something bad, "Oni" presents it as an instinct to protect yourself.

The track is produced by NUU$HI, who has worked with 44 since the first single.
With aggressive beats and sharp phrases, the song strongly challenges social pressure and fixed rules. At the same time, it reminds listeners that anger is a feeling everyone has.

In "Oni,"becoming an oni does not mean destroying everything. It means releasing emotion and taking yourself back.
With honest lyrics and a clear, powerful voice, this track shows the core of 44 (Yoshi)'s expression.
