[M Prefecture] Jojo 30th anniversary! Jojo Festival Report!

We know this manga! no! Know this strange pose and stand ability!

I apologize for suddenly acting strange.
This line is a modification of the first narration in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2 Battle Trend.
It has been 30 years since Jump's unique boys' manga ``JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', drawn by Miyagi Prefecture's leading manga artist, Hirohiko Araki, was born.
“Jojo Festival in S City Morio Town” will be held in S City, M Prefecture, which is the setting for the fourth part.
In addition to the original art exhibition "Jojo Exhibition" by Hirohiko Araki, the original author who was well-received in 2012, there will also be a talk event "Bizarre Summer 2017 in Morio-cho, S City" with the voice actors of the anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Diamond is Unbreakable". ”This summer, M Prefecture S City will be dyed in Jojo colors!

In this article, we will introduce all the highlights of "Jojo Festival in S City Morio Town"!

Are you ready? I'm done

Sendai Mediatheque - Jojo Exhibition 2017 is being held! ~

The first thing I would like to introduce is of course Hirohiko Araki's original art exhibition Jojo Exhibition 2017!
The Jojo Exhibition, which was held in Morio Town and Tokyo in 2012 and gained great popularity, has returned to Morio Town with even more power!
I'm already excited about the exhibition contents that are scheduled to be completely renewed starting in 2012!

Those who purchase a ticket that includes a goods exchange ticket will receive OWSON goods, a fictional convenience store that is a parody of Lawson that appears in the manga.

Speaking of "OWSON", like last time, some Lawsons in S City are really operating as "OWSON".
This is a special edition only available during the event, so don't forget to check it out!
In addition to Jojo goods, you can also get OWSON goods such as original T-shirts inside the store.
If you wear it to a JoJo-related event, you'll be sure to get more attention!

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

The biggest product sales venue at Jojo Fest is Kameyu Market on the 9th floor of E-BeanS.
In addition to original goods from the Jojo exhibition, you can purchase various Jojo goods.
Kameyu Market is the only place where you can purchase Tanita Collaboration's Jojo Exhibition Original Coffee and the "Sesame Honey Dumplings" that were very popular at the last Jojo Exhibition, so be sure to check it out if you're looking to buy souvenirs!

Morio town circulation bus service!

During the Jojo Festival period, an original circulation bus will be in operation that circulates around Morio Station, OWSON, the original art exhibition venue, and Kotodai Park.
It also passes through Kakyoin, the place name that inspired the popular character Noriaki Kakyoin's name, so JoJo fans are sure to get excited!

There are parody advertisements inside the bus that can only be seen on this bus, so don't forget to check them out!
Please note that unlike regular buses, you cannot board the bus without a ticket.
Tickets can be purchased on the 2nd floor of AER.

“JOJO Fes CAFE” and “Trassaldi” are also recreated!

When it comes to Jojo Part 4, I want to pay attention to the food.
At Sendai Forus, you can enjoy a menu inspired by Jojo Part 4 called JOJO Fes CAFE.
Among them, ``Prostitute-Style Spaghetti'' is a menu that recreates a dish that appeared in the popular episode ``Let's Go Eat Italian Food.'' People with cavities may be cured by eating them, right?

INFORMATION

Now, the Italian restaurant "Trassardi" that was the setting for that episode has been recreated for a limited time as a cafe that sells takeout products.
If you're a fan, you definitely want to buy the Saint-Germen sandwich.
The sandwich that Yoshikage Kira, the final boss of Part 4, bought has been recreated in a paper bag!
Before you eat it, you have to check to make sure your wrist isn't in it!

INFORMATION

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

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

The appeal is that you can carefully interact with the powerful pictures of the characters moving around in the anime.
There is also a photo corner at the venue, where you can take commemorative photos with JoJo standing!

There are 500 Harvests, so it will be fun to find them!

The specialty product ``beef tongue misozuke'' is made exactly as the original font is written!
Of course, the taste is ``Nmaaaaaa!!'', so it's perfect as a souvenir!
There are also many other collaboration products on sale, such as collaboration Shiraishi Onmen and Morioh Grand Hotel Memo Pad, so you can easily choose souvenirs!
