Original TV anime "Dance with Devils" held a prayer ceremony at the Tokyo Grand Shrine to pray for a hit!　Souma Saito and Wataru Hatano also participated!

A report on the prayer ceremony has arrived from the TV anime "Dance with Devils.

Dance with Devils" is a new original project by Rejet, a company that produces content for women. It is a new project that depicts the main character and the Akumas of the demon world in a school called "Shihou Gakuen". The director is Ai Yoshimura of "Ao Haride," the series is composed by Tomoko Kanaharu of "Uta no Prince Sama," the character design is by Yuki Gohara of "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha," and the music is by Yatsura Gohara of "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. The music is by Elements Garden, and the animation is produced by Brains Base.

A prayer ceremony was held at the Tokyo Grand Shrine to pray for a hit. In addition to the main staff, Souma Saito (Rem) and Wataru Hatano (Lind) also participated. The Tokyo Grand Shrine, known as the "Ise Shrine of Tokyo," is a very popular power spot that brings good luck in marriage, as it enshrines the three gods of creation, who are in charge of the work of tying people together. The following is a report.

Before the prayer ceremony began, the participants joked, "Is it safe to enter the shrine (for Saito-san, who plays the role of Akuma)?" However, the atmosphere changed drastically when the prayer ceremony began in the shrine's pavilion. In the solemn atmosphere, everyone participated with a mysterious look on their faces. After purifying themselves with marijuana, a prayer for the success of "Dance with Devils" was read out, and everyone prayed together. In addition, after a beautiful dance and sacred music performance by two miko (shrine maidens), the audience offered a wish-filled tamagushi (a sacred stick with a tamagushi attached to it) and worshipped. In addition, a special ema (votive votive tablet) with handwritten messages and illustrations from over 20 cast and staff members was dedicated, and the prayer ceremony came to an end amidst a tense atmosphere.

The TV anime "Dance with Devils" is a new project based on an original idea by popular female content maker Rejet, dramatically depicting the main character Ritsuka Ritsuka and the Akumas of the demon world in a school called Shihou Gakuen. It has been attracting a lot of attention.

The prayer was a great boost to the success of the work, as it received sacred power from the shrine.

Comment from Souma Saito, who plays Lem
（I was able to get into the shrine (although I play the role of Akuma). It was the first time for me to have a hit prayer for a work in which I play a main role, so I wondered how it would be done, but the atmosphere was solemn and I was able to pray for the success of the work in accordance with Japanese etiquette. It was very sobering and made me want to put even more effort into my work. It was a valuable experience for me.

Wataru Hatano as Lindo
The prayer began with the sound of drums and a solemn atmosphere, and the air was very tense. My hands were shaking when I offered the tamagushi (skewer). I felt really sorry that the priest kept calling me "Akuma" during the prayer. ......　I felt that we had to make this a great success, and I was determined to do my best in the production to thank everyone at Tokyo Daijingu Shrine. We took this production seriously in the solemn atmosphere, and we hope we can contribute to this production with our voice performances!

Producer Nozomi Isowa comment
Since this is an Akuma-themed work, the directors and I had been talking about going there for a purification ceremony so that the production would not be disturbed by Akuma (laugh)! Dance with Devils" is now in full production, and we hope that four Akuma and an exorcist will be able to connect with all of you.
