About

Let’s Go! Onmyouji (Japanese: レッツゴー！陰陽師) is a song taken from the fighting game Shin Goketsuji Ichizoku: Bonnou Kaihou, which was used for a CG-animated music video made specially for the game. The song and the video has since went on to gain widespread popularity on the Japanese video sharing site Nico Nico Douga (NND), shortly after its relaunch on 2007, inspiring video remixes, musical covers, and dance parodies.

Origin

The song was originally used as the background theme for character Thin Nen from the Japanese fighting game Shin Goketsuji Ichzoku: Bonnou Kaihou^[1], released in Japan for the PlayStation 2 on May 25th, 2006. The song would be then featured for a CG-animated music video, which features the song being sung and danced by characters Hikomaro Yabeno and Kotohime, while being accompanied by the Bozu dancers as backup. The video would later be uploaded to Youtube (shown below) by Youtuber bussan00 on May 28th, 2006, three days after the games release.
