Noragami" is an anime work based on a manga by Adachi Toka (serialized in Monthly Shonen Magazine).

The first season of the series was broadcast from January to March 2014. The second season will be a sequel to the first, with the popular "Bishamon Arc" episodes from the original story and other episodes adapted for video.

They were excited to announce their enthusiasm for the second season and that the first season BD-BOX will be released in a limited first edition on September 25. The following is the report.

The limited first season BD-BOX edition will include a bonus DVD "Noragarami" (interview with the main cast), a newly-drawn three-sided box, and a 28-page visual book. The price is 27,000 yen.

Four members of the splendid cast and the director gathered at the Tokyo venue of the "Noragami" all-night screening event. 300+ people filled the Shinjuku Piccadilly auditorium for the all-night screening, which started at 10:30 p.m. The MC announced with a warning during the screening, "Everyone, keep your 5 yen coins out! !" The audience laughed when the MC called out to the audience, "Take out your 5 yen coins!
The speakers entered to the background music of "Noon Night Rendezvous," the popular OP song from the first season of the "Noragami" anime. Mr. Takayama, Mr. Takahashi, Mr. Inoue, Mr. Kaji, and Director Tamura greeted the audience in that order. Mr. Takayama: "Please enjoy yourselves, everyone! Mr. Takahashi: "When I look at the audience, I am happy to see women with sparkling faces! I know it's late at night, but thank you for your support." followed by Ms. Inoue "Good evening! My name is Inoue, and I play the role of Yuboe-chan. Please make sure you all watch the show!" Ms. Kaji said, "Please don't sleep today! （Please enjoy Noragami! Director Tamura closed the session by saying, "I'm not used to doing this, so I've put on my red pants to win (laughs). From the beginning of the event, there was a lot of banter among the speakers, and one could often sense how well they get along onsite.
Regarding their feelings about their respective roles in the first season of "Noragami," which will be screened after the stage, he said, "Yukine comes on stage like a knife that can cut. She is a dead spirit who died in adolescence, and she is found by Yoto and they spend time together, but what sticks in my mind is the Misogi episode. The episode of Misogi is the one that sticks in my mind. He cries a lot during the Misogi episode, and I hope you will pay attention to it during the rest of the show. Mr. Sawashiro is the type of person who can be himself, so even during breaks, he would say in the style of Bishamon, "Can't you eat the snacks I brought you? I had to accept it or I wouldn't be able to speak. If I didn't accept it, he wouldn't talk (laugh). My showpiece is the second season (laugh)," Inoue said with a laugh as he shared his hopes for the second season. Takahashi and Takayama, who played Yama-chan and Ami-chan, said that as Hiyori's female friends in the third year of junior high school, they were conscious of creating a peaceful, everyday world view different from that of fighting. They also shared a behind-the-scenes story about how they ad-libbed the scene in which Hiyori worries that her pants are showing when Yamachan and Ami-chan carry her away after she drops her body, because Director Tamura told them that they could ad-lib anything they wanted to worry about.
When asked about the relationship between the Lord and Bishamon that he wanted to show in the second season, Inoue answered, "The lady (Bishamon) is an S, so I am fine with being an M (laugh). Mr. Kaji replied, "Yukine's Lord, Yato, is stinky and poor (laughs) There is a scene where he is repairing a bath, but does he take a bath...? I wonder if he takes a bath. He is a minor god, so I don't know. In the misogi scene, Yoto says, "Live as a human being," and I don't think he would have become like that if he hadn't met Hiyori and Yukine. I don't think Yoto would have become like that if he hadn't met Hiyori and Yukine.
The present drawing was held, and the participants who were seated at the number drawn by the cast members from the drawing box were presented with a signed paper by the actors, a BD of the event held at the Maihama Amphitheater last year, and a set of original goods. The audience then applauded when the release of the "Noragami Blu-ray BOX Limited First Edition" was announced on September 25 (Fri.) as the latest information on Noragami. In the final commemorative photo, the speakers posed with My 5 yen coin in their hands.
In his closing remarks, Mr. Takayama said, "We're going to be here until the morning, so please take care of yourself, enjoy the show, and take the first train home (laughs). Mr. Inoue said, "It's a lot of work, isn't it? I'll be in Osaka tomorrow, so please do your best. I'm going to Osaka tomorrow, so I'll try my best to go to sleep (laughs). I'm so grateful to be able to see it on this big screen, and I'll do my best to screen it again. Director Tamura added, "I'm really looking forward to the second season because we'll be able to do the episodes I've always wanted to do! Director Tamura also expressed his expectations for the second season, saying, "I'm really looking forward to the second season.
The final part of the show ended with Mr. Kaji leading the audience to join him in saying, "May the second season bring you good luck! The event ended with applause from the audience and the speakers striking a pose.
