Is it true that monsters never die?

For some generations. In the opening song of Gegege no Kitaro
"Ghosts don't die!Do you remember there was a lyric that said, "
I think there are many people who believe that monsters cannot die because of these lyrics.
Children often ask me, "Can you defeat ghosts?"
What do you all think? Do you think the monsters will die?
Let me jump straight to the conclusion.
 
Some monsters die..
 
Many of the monsters in folklore are not described as having been "killed" or "died."
"exterminated" or "Destroyed" is often written as
Among the yokai, it is "death" I believe this corresponds to the above.
In short, it's a situation where you fall into a state of no return and there's no revival from there.

Of course, they were sealed away in rocks and mounds.
There are monsters like that,
Some people end up completely dying like this.
So why did the idea of not dying come about in the first place?
Perhaps the boundary between ghosts and monsters is also classified as "ghosts".
It's ambiguous, andGhosts are already dead, so they can't die anymore.
I guess that's why they had this image of immortality.
The other special skill of Gegege no Kitaro is
Even if I'm cut with a knife and eaten, or burned to ashes
Even if I'm transformed into a vampire tree or melted
With Kitaro's powers,Play it and it will go back to normalThat's right.
The lyrics point to this and say, "Ghosts never die."
It is possible that this is the case.
In the first place, the term "yokai" is vague.
Whether it exists or not
Whether something that is unclear will die or not
Even if I think about it, it may not be possible.
At least, they have disappeared or been exterminated.
Regarding the question "Do monsters die?"
The answer is, "Yokai will die."
Well, the rest of the Yokai are based on the customs, beliefs and culture of the time.
Because of the close connection
As such things disappear over time,
There will be no more situations where youkai appear.That is
I think that's what death means to a youkai.
That's what I think.
Today in Japan, the lights are on brightly until late at night.
The number of "non-scary places" has increased dramatically.

I make few mistakes, but I can't find anything really good.
Even if they have been deceived, they do not realize that many others are being deceived in the same way.
People in the pastBecause you can't see it, let your imagination run wild
I was judging things based on my own standards.
If you can't see, it's unsettling, and darkness is born.
Social media has brought about highly public relationships and
The media's outrageous behavior has led to distrust and fatigue.
Some people have even gone so far as to block their internet access.
In today's world, the importance of things that cannot be seen is becoming more apparent.
By all means,It is important to value the dark parts of your heart, such as worries, anxieties, and doubts.Please give it a try.
