Theme Song of Ninja Kamui
Vengeance: The series’ opening song is “Vengeance” by Coldrain, written by frontman Masato Hayakawa and lead guitarist Ryo Yokochi specifically for the show, as the song directly fits into the vengeance-inspired premise of Ninja Kamui.
The lyrics of the song are:
Rain, rain, come wash away the pain
With demons in my head
Vengeance is the only way
No
We had love before the end
We had trust, belief and friendship
Maybe something more, maybe something less (less)
This is how I make amends for the light I turn to darkness
Shedding blood till it’s done
Rain, rain, come wash away this goddamn pain, pain
Now vengeance is the only way
