Daniel’s Travel Vlog

This video is part of a series of videos of domestic travel within Japan to share with you the breathtaking beauty of Japanese landscape from the air.

Welcome onboard my return flight from Yonago in Tottori Prefecture onboard All Nippon Airways B 767-381ER JA608A, being the remaining of two ANA B 767-300 carrying the beautiful 鬼灭之刃 Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba livery.

Regrettably due to strong South Westerly winds, approach over the city of Tokyo to runway 16L was not possible and all traffic was directed to runways 22 and 23 instead.

Thank you for visiting my channel.

History of Boeing 767-381ER JA608A 鬼灭之刃 Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba

Serial number 32977 / Line number 886 was manufactured 2002, performed her first flight on August 21, the same year and was delivered on August 28, 2002 to All Nippon Airways.

JA608A was configured in a C35Y179 seating layout until July, 2018 and was reconfigured in a C10Y260 layout thereafter.

ANA announced on November 15, 2021 that it would be applying a Demon Slayer-themed livery on its Boeing 767 aircraft.

The first livery 鬼灭之刃 Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba was applied to JA616A and enrolled on January 30, 2022.

JA608A with a second livery scheme followed two months later on March 26, 2022.

Later, on September 5, a third aircraft joined the “Demon Slayer” fleet, B 777-281ER JA745A with the same features as her sister aircraft, but equipped in addition with theme based seat covers.

In-flight services include a limited edition of special headrest covers and aprons for the cabin attendants as well as in-flight announcements by the characters.

This TV anime series, based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, was published by Shueisha Jump Comics and has sold over 150 million copies.

The story features a boy named Tanjiro Kamado, who became a demon slayer in revenge for his family being killed by demons.

The story became a hit series, gaining worldwide popularity and ANA secured the copyrights for using these anime characters for a special domestic campaign.

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Mugen Train" is the continuation of the TV animation and was released on October 16, 2020 in a theatrical adaption followed by the introduction of a TV-series version on December 5, 2021.

The campaign for JA608A ended eight days after this flight on March 25, 2024 and a final road show throughout Japan and five months after JA616A was restored to the standard ANA livery in November, 2023.

Ferry flight NH 9001 of JA608A to Naha (OKA) took place on March 26, 2024 to complete the paint job, precisely two years after campaign launch on this aircraft.

JA608A is operating mainly on the domestic network of All Nippon Airways.
