Here's the theme sung by Coup de Villes...
Since Big Trouble in Little China has a lot to do with China, I thought today's Kemono Friends would include the Four Gods. I mentioned one of them (Seiryu, the dragon) back here.and the other three are as follows.
ビャッコ (Byakko): I like how she is heterochromic, her left eye is yellow and her right eye is blue. Her claws and adornments reflect this colour scheme.
(Scammed from Wikipedia) also called The White Tiger or Byakko in Japanese and Bai Hu in Chinese, is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. It is associated with the element metal and it represents the west and the autumn season.
It is also a symbol of force and army, and so many things entitled Byakko in ancient China are related to military affairs. In this capacity, Byakko was seen as a protector and defender, not just from mortal enemies, but also from evil spirits. Byakko is believed to have divine power to ward off and punish evil, praise the good, and bring wealth and good match for marriage.
Another God (Goddess?) is ゲンブ (Genbu) who is known as the Black Tortoise of the North sporting a rather adorable serpentine tail.
It is known as Xuan wu (玄武) in Chinese and Genbu in Japanese, it is associated with water and it represents the north and the winter season. the tortoise has black back, and is said to have the ability to enter the nether world to inquire forthcoming things. After getting the answer, it would come back showing the answer with some certain signs.
The last of the Four Gods is スザク, the Vermilion Bird of the South. She seems to hold golden bracelets surrounding her wrists which are filled with feathers, she also bears a feather crest behind her back.
スザク Suzaku represents the fire-element, the direction south, and the season summer correspondingly.
Thus it is sometimes called the Vermilion bird of the South. It is known as Zhu Que in Chinese, Suzaku in Japanese. It is said to have the ability to reborn from the fire, just like the immortal bird in Western mythology, so it is also named fire phoenix. As a mythological creature, the phoenix is considered as a symbol of good luck.
When I picked up the pamphlet above, I also scored a few tidbits, such as this little Godzilla charm.
I saw these two Inari Fox heads so I had to add them to my Foxy collection.
I did not expect to receive a bear's head eating a salmon.
And YAY, another Migi to add to my collection!
If you want some Halloween music that gets you dancing, Whatever Happened to the Transylvania Twist is the place to start to boogie.
