“

Hello. This is the beginning of Part 8 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Part 4, a story I wrote a long time ago, also took place in a fictitious town called Morioh. But Part 8 isn't linked to that story at all. The stage is the same Japanese town of Morioh, but this is a story about different inhabitants. Thus, even if you haven't read Part 4, can't recall much of it, or have no memory of it whatsoever, you'll be alright. I really hope you enjoy it, and I send my regards and best wishes to all of you.

こんにちは。ジョジョの奇妙な冒険の『第8部』の開幕です。第4部に「杜王町」という架空の町を舞台にしたお話をかつて描かせていただきました。しかし、この『第8部』は、それとはまったくリンクしておりません。舞台は同じ日本の「杜王町」ですが、別の住人たちのお話です。ですので、「第4部」を全然読んでなくても、思い出さなくても、または記憶が無くても大丈夫なのです。
よろしくお願い致します。では、皆様のご健康とご多幸をお祈りしながら。

“

To my Italian readers, it is truly wonderful that JoJo and my works have been beloved for such a long time here in Italy, one of the places I treasure the most. The world of JoJo is far from being over and I would be honored if you kept following it with this passion.

A warm greeting.

Ai miei lettori italiani, è davvero magnifico che JoJo e le mie opere siano amate da così tanto tempo in Italia, uno dei luoghi a me più cari. Il mondo di JoJo durerà ancora a lungo, e sarei molto onorato se continuaste a sequirlo con trepidazione.

Un caro saluto.
