Author's Note
As a side note, it seems they don't have an "H" sound either, so "Hirohiko" would become "Iroiko." Like, what? Who is that?
だから「JOJO」という名前などなくなってしまい、発音も「ヨォヨォ」というそうで、この巻の71ページから始まる第五部の主人公は「GIOGIO」とイタリア語に忠実に表記することにしたのです。
ちなみに「H」という発音もないらしく、「飛呂彦」は「イロイコ」と「誰だ?それ」って感じに呼ばれてしまったりもするのです。Supplement
Exclusive interview between Hirohiko Araki and French published Tonkam, added in the French version of Volume 47.
Hirohiko Araki: Babel II (a Japanese comic book) and Dirty Harry (an American film with Clint Eastwood).
Tonkam: You've been working on the same series for over twenty years. How do you manage to keep going for so long?
Hirohiko Araki: I have a healthy lifestyle. I go to bed early, I get up early, etc., which allows me not to be too tired.
Tonkam: Where did you get the idea of Stands?
Hirohiko Araki: In general, paranormal powers are invisible and therefore difficult to represent. Here, I wanted to give them a real appearance, so that we can properly realize what they are.
Tonkam: Do you have a permanent supply of Stands, or do you create them on the fly?
Hirohiko Araki: When ideas come to me, I always take notes so I can use them or not. So I have a reserve that I feed as I go along and from which I draw according to my needs.
Tonkam: Who is your favourite character in JoJo?
Hirohiko Araki: Josuké Higashikata from Diamond is Unbreakable part 4?
Tonkam: And your favourite stand?
Hirohiko Araki: Buccellati's Sticky Fingers and its zipper, in part 5.
Tonkam: For many readers, Golden Wind is considered the best part of JoJo. To what do you attribute this popularity?
Hirohiko Araki: I think that, compared to the other seasons, such a success is probably due to the class and the style of the characters, different from usual. Unless it's simply the past and the tragic fate of these people.
Tonkam: Why did you go to Italy all of a sudden?
Hirohiko Araki: I think Italy is a very dramatic country, full of meaning and well suited to stories of destiny. Moreover, from a Japanese point of view it is a very beautiful country, just like France.
Tonkam: When will there be a JoJo part set in France?
Hirohiko Araki: I would indeed like to try. Unfortunately, French is a difficult language and I think it would be difficult for me to get information.
Tonkam: A little word for your French fans?
Hirohiko Araki: For me, France is the country of art, and has a great sensitivity for beautiful things. I am very honoured to have readers there.
Tonkam: Thank you.Gallery
