The TV anime Yofukashi no Uta Season 2 will begin airing on July 4, and a new key visual for the “Cigarette Case Arc” has been revealed. It was also announced that Maaya Uchida will voice Saegusa Haru, a new character introduced in this arc.
Based on Kotoyama’s manga, Yofukashi no Uta follows Kou Yamori, a high school dropout who suffers from insomnia. In hopes of becoming a vampire, he seeks love with Nazuna, a mysterious vampire girl. As their nightly encounters deepen, their relationship evolves—though neither of them truly understands what love is. Meanwhile, the detective Uguisu Anko is closing in, planning to eliminate the vampires.
Uchida’s character, Saegusa Haru, is a nurse who bears a striking resemblance to Nazuna. She is tied to the past of the vampire Kabura and plays a vital role in uncovering the truth about Nazuna’s forgotten human life.

At the center, a cigarette, a lighter, and shattered glass are depicted—symbols that hint at deeper themes and raise anticipation for what’s to come in Season 2.
Yofukashi no Uta Season 2 will premiere on July 4 and air every Friday at 11:30 p.m. on Fuji TV’s “Noitamina” programming block.

●What is the appeal of this work?
The atmosphere is truly unique, and I was instantly drawn to its nighttime setting. I also really liked how even the lighthearted conversations had a subtle hint of darkness beneath them.
●Motivation for playing Saegusa Haru
When I read the original manga, I immediately thought, “This is it!” and felt fired up. Haru is such a cool and captivating character—I was completely fascinated by her. I’ll do my best to bring out all of her charm!

Deepening the Night: What Season 2 of Yofukashi no Uta Promises
[English Commentary]
The announcement of Yofukashi no Uta Season 2, along with the release of a richly symbolic key visual and the casting of Maaya Uchida as Haru, points to a more introspective and emotionally charged phase in the story. The “Cigarette Case Arc” is poised to explore the characters’ hidden traumas, particularly Nazuna’s lost human past.
Visual motifs like the cigarette, lighter, and cracked glass are not just aesthetic choices—they signal themes of fragility, ignition of change, and emotional shattering. Haru’s mysterious resemblance to Nazuna and her ties to Kabura suggest revelations that could redefine what we thought we knew about these characters.
With Maaya Uchida—known for portraying layered, emotionally complex roles—bringing Haru to life, fans can expect a season that dives deeper into memory, identity, and the blurred lines between love and obsession, all under the haunting beauty of the series’ nocturnal setting.
