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

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

Excuse my sudden and strange comment.
This line is an adapted version of the opening narration in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency.
Thirty years have passed since the birth of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a unique Shonen manga published in Jump magazine by Hirohiko Araki, a manga artist representing Miyagi Prefecture.
The "JoJo Fest in Morioh Town, S City, M City," the setting for Part 4, will be held in S City, M City. This
City, M City will be bathed in JoJo colors, with events including the "JoJo Exhibition," an exhibition of original drawings by Hirohiko Araki, the original author of the manga, which was well-received in 2012, and "Bizarre Summer 2017 in Morioh Town, S City," a talk event featuring voice actors from the anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable."

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! ~

The first thing I'd like to introduce is, of course, the 2017 JoJo Exhibition, an exhibition of original artwork by Hirohiko Araki!
The JoJo Exhibition, which was held in Morioh and Tokyo in 2012 and gained immense popularity, has returned to Morioh, more powerful than ever!
I'm already excited about the exhibition content, which is scheduled to be completely renewed 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 convenience stores in S City will be operating as "OWSON."
It's a special edition only available during the event, so be sure to check it out!
In addition to JoJo merchandise, you can also get original T-shirts and other OWSON goods in the store.
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 venue at JoJo Fes is Kameyu Market on the 9th floor of E-BeanS.
In addition to original JoJo exhibition merchandise, you can purchase a variety of JoJo goods.
Kameyu Market is the only place where you can purchase the original JoJo exhibition coffee in collaboration with Tanita, and the "Sesame Honey Dango" that was very popular at the previous JoJo exhibition, so if you're looking to buy souvenirs, don't forget to check it out!

Morioh Town Circular Bus Now in Operation!

During the JoJo Festival, an original circular bus will be operating, circulating around Morioh Station, OWSON, the exhibition venue, and Kotodai Park.
The bus will also pass through Kakyoin, the place where the name of the popular character Kakyoin Noriaki was inspired, so it's sure to be a hit with JoJo fans!

There are parody advertisements on board 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 this bus 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 Part 4, the food is also something to look out for.
At Sendai FORUS, there is a cafe called JOJO Fes CAFE where you can eat a menu inspired by JoJo Part 4. One of the dishes is the "Prostitute-Style Spaghetti," which is a reproduction of a dish that appeared in the popular episode "Let's Go Eat Italian Food."
If you have cavities, eating this might cure them!

INFORMATION

Now, the Italian restaurant "Trussardi," where the episode was set, has been recreated for a limited time as a cafe offering takeout items.
If you're a fan, you'll definitely want to buy the "Saint Germain Sandwich." It's a
reproduction of the sandwich bought by Kira Yoshikage, the final boss of Part 4, complete with the paper bag!
Before eating, you have to check to make sure there's no wrist in it!

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 attraction is that you can get a close look at the dynamic images of the characters moving around in the anime.
There is also a photo corner at the venue where you can take commemorative photos in the JoJo pose!

There are plenty of other highlights, including large-scale displays such as a banner reading "Welcome to Morioh Town" and pillars with character designs, as well as tiny Stand abilities called "Harvests" hiding in various locations throughout the shopping street!
There are 500 Harvesters, so it will be fun trying to find them!

The specialty product, "Beef Tongue in Miso," is made with care to be in the same font as the original!
Of course, the taste is "Mmmmm!!" so it's the perfect souvenir!
