From Oeyamaguchinaiku to Miyazu along the Japan Standard Time Line
I never find any of the translations for Oni satisfying.
I think Ogre is the best, but they're still different creatures (they do serve similar purposes, though).
I like neither Demon nor Devil. Those are otherworldly creatures, whereas Oni "live" among us (well, at least in the legents).
So, usually, I keep "Oni" regardless of the language that I use (I do explain when necessary).
Great post by the way, I need to read the older ones.
