The highly anticipated second season of the Call of the Night anime has officially announced that veteran voice actor Tomokazu Sugita will be joining its cast, alongside the confirmation that the popular hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts will once again perform the ending theme song. The new season is set to premiere on Friday, July 4, in Japan.
New Voices for the Nocturnal World
Tomokazu Sugita will lend his voice to the character LG, who is described as a follower of Midori Kohakobe. LG is identified as a plump vampire with round glasses who refers to himself as “washi,” and his name “LG” is an abbreviation of his handle name “LoveGreen.” Midori, another character, refers to him as “Love-kun.”
Beyond Sugita, other notable additions to the cast for Call of the Night Season 2 include Rina Satō as Kiku Hoshimi, a seductive woman who becomes involved with Ko’s friend Mahiru, and Maaya Uchida as Haru Nanakusa, a nurse who shares a resemblance to Nazuna Nanakusa.
The returning main voice cast includes Sora Amamiya as Nazuna Nanakusa, Gen Sato as Ko Yamori, Yumiri Hanamori as Akira Asai, Haruka Tomatsu as Seri Kikyo, Eri Kitamura as Niko Hirata, Shizuka Ito as Kabura Honda, Naomi Ozora as Midori Kohakobe, and Azumi Waki as Hatsuka Suzushiro.
Creepy Nuts: A Familiar Sound Returns
Creepy Nuts, the hip-hop duo known for their deep connection to the Call of the Night franchise, will perform the ending theme song for Season 2, titled “Nemure” (Sleep). This is not their only contribution to the new season, as they are also performing the opening theme song, “Mirage.” Both “Mirage” and “Nemure” were digitally released on July 4 and July 5, 2025, respectively.
The duo’s involvement runs deep, as the original manga, Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night), was named after their 2018 song of the same name, which also served as the first season’s ending theme. Creepy Nuts also performed the opening theme (“Daten”) and an insert song (“Lost Time”) for the first season. R-Shitei, a member of Creepy Nuts, shared that the inspiration behind “Nemure” stems from his personal experience as a child loving the night and his adult understanding as a parent.
Production and Story Details
LIDEN FILMS is returning to animate Call of the Night Season 2, with Tomoyuki Itamura continuing as director. Michiko Yokote is handling the scripts, while Haruka Sagawa is responsible for character designs, and Yoshiaki Dewa is composing the music. Izumi Takizawa and Nao Miyoshi are serving as assistant directors.
The second season will pick up with Ko Yamori overcoming his initial confusion about becoming a vampire and deciding to “like” Nazuna, while Nazuna resolves to make Ko “fall in love” with her. The story will delve into their nights together as they navigate this complex relationship, while Detective Anko Uguisu closes in with her plans to eliminate vampires, including Nazuna. A key plot point will revolve around vampires trying to shed their weaknesses, which are tied to “anything they were attached to when they were human,” a challenge for Nazuna who has no memory of her human life.
The Call of the Night manga, written and illustrated by Kotoyama, was serialized in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday from August 2019 to January 2024, concluding with 20 compiled volumes. Viz Media has licensed the manga for English release. A short story sequel series, titled Call of the Night: Paradise Arc, began serialization in Weekly Shonen Sunday on July 2, 2025.
The first season of the anime aired from July to September 2022. The second season is set to premiere on July 4, 2025, in Japan on Fuji TV’s Noitamina programming block at 11:30 p.m. JST. HIDIVE will stream the anime as it airs, with English subtitles available shortly after the Japanese release, and an English dub to follow at a later date. The season is expected to have 12 episodes, with new episodes releasing weekly.
