The Spider And The Fox-Like Lion is a Vocaloid song that was released by Masa on August 18th, 2011 on his NicoNico douga account and on November 24, 2011 on his YouTube channel.

It is the third released song in The Onibi series, and the first chronologically within the story.

## Background

### Origins

The song was released on both Masa's Nico Nico douga account on August 18th, garnering over 6.500+ Niconico views, and on November 24th, 2011, with 79 thousand+ views on his YouTube channel.

It is considered one of Masa's gruesome songs, being known in the community and in the horror and gore genre alike, even though some fans believe that what was decipted in the story was what really happened, this is however, incorrect.

The song was later privated and presumably deleted at an unknown date by Masa from all platforms, the reason for why is because of his embarrassment and shame when seeing his old work and his distain for it's gruesomeness, not wanting fans to interact with the song at all.

### Plot

The first song chronologically in the Onibi Series. Featuring Ryou Shishikusa, the wife of the Shishikusa Clan representative, and Akari Oborodzuka, a member from the Kitsune Clan, who possesses the ability to make people harm themselves.

Akari is kidnapped and handed over to the Shishikusa clan, which runs a theater where they torture women in front of daimyos to entertain them for money.

Ryou Shishikusa then uses a demon blade who she earned many years ago, rendering Akari's powers useless, and stabs her in her abdomen, torturing her, and eventually killing her.

Before Akari dies, she gets her revenge by cursing Ryou's bloodline with a curse that would heavily turn them into violent cannibals.

### Controversy

After the song got popularized by the "sega" trend at the end of 2022, a user by the name of "ChristianMirror" uploaded the song onto spotify, with this being done without Masa's knowledge or consent.

After this, the uploaded went on to gain profit out of a song that they didn't make, with the song getting over 1 million monthly listerners in the app, earning them 1 million yen, equivalent to 7,000 in dollars.

This lead Masa to acknowledge the situation on Twitter, and go on a copyright rampage across youtube, copyright striking those who reuploaded his songs (specifically about the Onibi Series) without permission. Some channels such as Despair Media ended up getting deleted as a result, with the channel owner pleading with Masa to remove the strikes and let them get their channel back for personal videos they had on it.

Not only were reuploads striked, covers, fanmade instrumental/off vocals were targeted too. This almost lead to the Onibi Series songs becoming lost media.

What ChristianMirror ended up facing was getting doxxed on Twitter, with Masa encouraging his followers to locate where their school is, as to get there expelled to suspended from it.

Since ChristianMirror was a minor, Masa received a lot of backlash, leading him to delete most of his tweets and release vent art, but Masa later clarrified that he only meant to get the school's location so that Christian would feel threatened and delete the spotify upload.

It is unclear whether or not ChristianMirror complied with Masa's request since the upload of the song is still there.

## Trivia

* The song can be considered non-canon to the series in some aspects, as by the gruesome actions described, they are inaccurate compared to Masa's blog, meaning that they never happened.

* This is presumably the Onibi Series song that Masa hates the most.

* If you squint hard enough, this song can have the same leitmotif and sound much like Macarena, you can even sing either songs in the instrumental of the other and they would match.

* Surprisingly, Akari here is not drawn by Masa, and is instead drawn by one of his friends at the time, although Masa did draw Ryou.
