[M Prefecture] JoJo 30th Anniversary! JoJo Fest Report!

We know this manga! No! We know these strange poses and Stand abilities!

Excuse the sudden and strange tone.
This line is a modified version of the opening narration in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency. It's been
30 years since the birth of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the unique shonen manga from Jump magazine drawn by Hirohiko Araki, a manga artist representing Miyagi Prefecture.
JoJo Fest in Morioh Town, S City, M Prefecture will be held in S City, M Prefecture, the setting of Part 4.
From the original artwork exhibition of author Hirohiko Araki, which was a great success in 2012, to the talk event Bizarre Summer 2017 in Morioh Town, S City, featuring the voice actors from the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, S City, M Prefecture will be dyed in JoJo colors this summer!

In this article, we will introduce all the highlights of "JoJo Fest in Morioh Town, S City"!

Are you ready? I'm ready

Sendai Mediatheque ~ JoJo Exhibition 2017 Held! ~

First and foremost, I'd like to introduce the Hirohiko Araki Original Art Exhibition: JoJo Exhibition 2017!
The JoJo exhibition, which was held in Morioh Town and Tokyo in 2012 and was a huge hit, is back in Morioh Town, even better than before!
I'm already excited about the exhibition content, which will be completely revamped from 2012!

Those who purchase a ticket with a merchandise exchange voucher will receive "OWSON merchandise," a parody of the fictional Lawson convenience store that appears in the manga

Speaking of "OWSON," just like last time, some Lawson stores in S City are actually operating as "OWSON."
It's a special design only for the duration of the event, so you'll definitely want to check it out!
Inside the store, you can find JoJo merchandise as well as OWSON goods such as original T-shirts.
If you wear it to a JoJo-related event, you're sure to attract attention!

E-BeanS ~Let's go to Kameyu Mart~

The largest merchandise area at JoJo Fest is Kameyu Market on the 9th floor of E-BeanS.
In addition to original JoJo exhibition goods, you can purchase a variety of JoJo merchandise.
Kameyu Market is the only place where you can buy the original JoJo exhibition coffee in collaboration with Tanita, and the "sesame honey dumplings" that were so popular at the last JoJo exhibition, so be sure to check it out if you're looking for souvenirs!

Morioh Town Circular Bus Now in Operation!

During the JoJo Festival, an original loop bus will be running that circulates around Morioh Station, OWSON, the original artwork exhibition venue, and Kotodai Park.
The bus also passes through Kakyoin, the place name that inspired the name of the popular character Noriaki Kakyoin, so JoJo fans are sure to be thrilled!

Inside the bus, you'll find parody advertisements that you can only see on this bus, so be sure to check them out!
Please note that unlike regular buses, you cannot board without a ticket.
Tickets can be purchased on the second floor of AER.

"JOJO Fes CAFE" and "Trussardi" are also recreated!

When it comes to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, the food is definitely something to pay attention to.
At Sendai Forus, you can enjoy a menu inspired by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 at the JOJO Fes CAFE. Among them, the "Spaghetti alla Prostitute" is a dish that recreates a dish that appeared in the popular episode "Let's Go Eat Italian Food."
If you have a cavity, eating it might just cure it!

INFORMATION

Now, the Italian restaurant "Trussardi," which was the setting for that episode, has been recreated for a limited time as a cafe that sells takeout items.
A must-buy for fans is the "Saint Germain sandwich." It's a
reproduction of the sandwich that Kira Yoshikage, the final boss of Part 4, bought, complete with the paper bag!
You'll have to check to make sure there isn't a wrist stuck in it before you eat it!

INFORMATION

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Anime Original Art Exhibition

You can see the original artwork for Part 4 of the TV anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable" for free at Koyo Grand Hotel!

The appeal lies in being able to closely examine the dynamic and impressive artwork of the characters moving around in the anime.
There's also a photo corner at the venue where you can take commemorative photos striking a JoJo pose!

INFORMATION

There are many other attractions!

For a limited time during the event, Prundome Ichibancho Shopping Street will be transformed into Morioh Town Shopping Street!
There are many things to see, from large-scale decorations such as a banner that reads "Welcome to Morioh Town" and pillars designed with characters, to the spectacle of tiny Stand abilities called "Harvest" hidden throughout the shopping street! There are
500 Harvests in total, so it would be fun to try and find them all!

The local specialty, "Beef Tongue Pickled in Miso," is printed in the exact same font as the original work!
And of course, it tastes "delicious!!" making it the perfect souvenir!
There are also many other collaboration products on sale, such as collaboration Shiraishi Udon noodles and Morioh Grand Hotel memo pads, so choosing souvenirs will be a breeze!

The JoJo Festival is being held from August 12th to September 10th, 2017.
If you want to experience a bizarre Sendai, be sure to come to the JoJo Festival!
