Cheers!
That's really interesting! Feel free to post more about them if you like. Do they talk about which youkai each member represents for example? Or is that obvious to an average Japanese person just by looking at them?
It's probably familiar to anyone Japanese, but here's a source on the folklore it pulls from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyakki_Yagy%C5%8D
The current members are Nika (Fox), Madoka (Oni), Yui (Snow Woman), Marina (Spider) and Kanon (Cat). The spirits have actual names (Oni = Nio, Snow Woman = Yuki Onna), but I don't have time to look them up at the moment ๐
