Noragami: Stray God
| Turns out muslims hate Noragami Aragoto OST. Last track (Push buttons), is supposedly their Call to prayer Adhan with autotune. Comments are basically war between muslim users and /pol/. Same thing is happening on twitter https://twitter.com/search?q=%40taque68 https://twitter.com/search?q=%40noragami_pr |

| I don't think the staff will do anything about it, as the show was made for Japan and hasn't branched to other parts of the world. If it offended Buddhists in Japan, something will be done probably. |
Notepal said: They're asking the Anime makers to take off the song entirely. You don't have a right to control media....It's 100% up to them to get mad or not, but for muslim, we will upset if somebody make fun of our religion because it also 100% our right to be upset. Your religion is for you, and Our religion is for us |
| Not this kind of BS again. Seriously, religious sensitivities are one of the main reasons why this world is so chaotic today. Also, to begin with, the show's primary audience are the Japanese viewers. They don't give a damn about whether gaijins like it or not for its Japanese content. Also, if it's coincidental, why the hell would you request to remove the OST if it DOESN'T INTENTIONALLY harm your religious beliefs. It's up to the producers to decide whether to remove the OST or not, not the audience especially the gaijins who are requesting for its removal. |

| As a muslim, I really don't mind since the OST was made for them. It's not harming me or my beliefs in anyway. The OST's pretty dope by the way. |

AlRajhi said: You're asking them to go through the inconvenience of editing out something that was already finished just for VERY small percentage of the viewers to feel happier about themselves. Seems delusional, honestly. No disrespect, though. I just don't see how it would physically harm you in any way.You do not know the harm behind this because you're not getting harmed. |
| Muslim here and that soundtrack was frigging AWESOME! |
| I think why we keep debating this thing? Please note that the Anime Staff Producers / Songs Composer will not hear or notice our debate here. And finnaly, our debates will not changes anything. Please, don't make worse this conditions ... I muslim too and i know this thing harmed my religion. *sorry if my english bad :) |
| I would get mad too if they change a song i like to a shitty autotune song. |
 |
| Pretty cool song. A little retro and gimmicky, but I can see the appeal. Not too sure what they're complaining about when the original song wasn't exactly great anyway; it was no Saleel Sawarim, and even that made for fun remixes. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| ah are the staff didn't know about their ost come from ? or maybe they know it but still didn't know how sacred adzan call prayer is for muslim ? i hope they will explain it after know all this controversy |
 |
| and the track is called "Push buttons" lol Might actually watch Norigami S2 now this looks fun. |
 |
| This thread certainly shows how toxic people can be. I'm sorry for actually thinking that the butthurt fans are decent. |
| Well, that track is a bit racist (whether it was willingly or unwillingly, doesn't matter) Adhan is a very sacred call for us Muslims, and for it to be used as bgm itself is a big thing. I admit I am not the best Muslim out there (I consider myself below average) but hey, that track is... Mixing Adhan with music is rude, and I can see why so many people are mad about it. They could use any arabic song in place of it, I mean, but nope. Heck, if they used it straight as it is (without mixing) even then it wouldn't have been so bad. Bad move on studio's part. Well, I won't stop watching anime just because of this, but yeah, this is offensive. I just hope the fellow Muslims don't take it too far... Don't want it to turn it too dirty. P.S. I am not as offended because this isn't the first time this has happened. Besides, most of those fellows don't even pay for this anime (including me) Using the "remove the bgm or I'll stop watching the anime" threat just doesn't work. There has to be another way. Also, the majority of replies in this thread is disgusting. I thought the world was more mature than this, but no, I guess. |
 |
| There's much Christian reference on Anime too e.g priests, prayers, etc and I never got bothered with them. So I won't get bothered with this too. |
 |
| If muslims don't like it then don't watch it. Why should we ban something just because some groups hate it ? We don't ban Christian stuff in anime just because some christian don't like it, and we don't ban girls with panties and boobs just because feminists don't like it. Don't watch it if you don't like it. |
Username said: Japanese person who doesn't know Muslim things and just used random stuff they found.That ost is made by Japan or by an Muslim hater? skykh said: Yes.So they seriously make new accounts on this forum to shitpost and complain? |
| The issue isn't blown up that much yet. At least, I hope not. |

| Sounds like they were impressed by Islam Jokes aside, I thought this sounded something like the azaan when I heard it in the anime, but then I thought that maybe I'm hearing things. This is the first time I've heard something like this – combining the azaan with music, and by a non-Muslim at that. I'm pretty sure they didn't know that it would offend some people. But then again, we Muslims are very sensitive in this regard (including me). I dunno, I think they should, at the very least, apologize if they hurt someone's feelings, if this thing has been brought into their notice that is. I don't listen to anime soundtracks anyway so I won't be listening to this, except if it comes in the anime again, in which case it would be a bit unavoidable |
| People need to assume both POVs before starting to diss one another. That aside as a muslim I understand the complaints but I don't like the aggressiveness "This is what happens when people believe everything is a conspiracy" Just don't watch it or ignore it or whatever. Anyway the reason this happens is because the show has muslim fans who don't like the disrespect of their religion. Since I didn't watch the show I didn't care well till it became too viral and I had to satisfy my need to comment on it. Also I do know it's not intentional or whatever and certainly they didn't want to stir any controversy , but you would think with the current information age people would do more researches on what they do. |

| Well this ost certainly pushed buttons |
Tokoya said: adapatations are not supposed to be carbon copies of source materials and until the anime community in general can accept that and judge an anime based on what it presents and how they handle every episode, these threads will continue to be filled with hate posts by purists |
| lmao just noticed the track title. wp japan <3 |
silencely said: chill, the composers were just not informed enough, completely unintentional. just protest to their official social media account, they'll take it down when they decide to sell noragami broader to non-japanese watchers. As a person who lived in Japan for a while (I actually still live there), I completely agree with you. |

| ISIS themselvs are cheating with Islam..they are killing innocent women,children even muslims...but they are hardly doing any harm to USA who created ISIS themselves.Plus have lead many muslim counries to chaos and brink of extinction..JAPAN clearly is not ISIS's target..AS for Noragami its clearly goes against the belief of Islam..we have got only one god "Allah".. But it doesn't bother me at all..cause its just an anime.I am not watching PORN..finally all the muslims here should accept the fact that watching anime itself is a sin..no living creature is allowed to be drawn in islam and those shouldn't be watched..BUT I AM WATCHING THEM ANYWAYS..i guess praying prayers 5 times a day,skipping anime at ramadan(at day time) is the key for me..and of coure avoiding romance in practical life though i prefer to watch romance animes. |

| Well they are not removing the song anyway. Watch the show or leave it. Let me try to reiterate , haram ? Maybe I myself don't know "I believe it's not" . Is it insulting ? No. So either watch it or leave it. I think it was wrong though to do so to spark a controversy because muslims are sensitive and the whole arab world "christians or muslims" believe that the world is conspiring against them "this is what happens at corrupt nations anyway". P.S: I don't have anything against the show itself. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Well they removed now all the OST's related to Noragami Aragoto. I bet it was just because of the Muslim drama, because the Fairy Tail OST 5 is still up in youtube after 6months (it's from the same publisher so I bet it's nothing to do with copyrights). It's kinda sad to see things like that to happen in modern day but what we can do about it.. I guess nothing. |
| I'm a muslim. I think the OST is nice, it doesn't change the meaning of the Adhan, it does not make fun of the Adhan.... the only thing that's different is the rhythm. Overall, I think it's really fine! :-) |
