It has now been three years since I was first given the chance to play the character of Kishibe Rohan. Whether it be in a drama or in a movie, every time I am allowed to play Kishibe Rohan is an extremely special event in my life.

As I write this comment for the reveal, I am currently on-site in Paris. Ever since the first season of the drama, I have had an incredible Japanese team around me working hard to bring Kishibe Rohan to life. In addition to the Japanese filming crew here, we have been joined for the past few days by a local French team so professional and sincere that it feels like we've worked together on all three seasons. I am truly witnessing the creation of a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
During the filming of the first season, I spoke to director Kazuki about adapting "Rohan at the Louvre," only seeing it as a pipe dream. I said to him then, "Someday, I hope we can actually start shooting in Paris." And now, actually standing on the paved streets of Paris, I don't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable being Rohan, which I believe is due to the outstanding staff work supporting me. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful that, despite being in a foreign country, nothing about playing Rohan has changed.
The Japanese part of the work, which was produced in parallel with the third season of the drama, plays just as important of a role as the French part we're shooting right now. Topics such as bloodlines, inheritance, and the past play key roles in any work related to JoJo, and those topics will be explored in this work as well.
This work is conceptually part of the live-action "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan" drama, and the story functions as its ninth episode. If you've followed the drama series so far, you'll naturally enjoy the movie, but I think people who don't know anything about what Rohan's been up to in his own series will enjoy it, too. One must inevitably face the past in order to exist in the present, and time can be both kind and cruel to everyone. Rohan is no exception: in this work, he too must interrogate his own existence.

I hope everyone who comes to the theater will enjoy this very unique work.

岸辺露伴という人間を演じさせていただいてから、3年目に入りました。劇場版や映画版と銘打たない今作においても、岸辺露伴を演じ続けさせていただけていることは、僕の人生にとって非常に特異な出来事です。

今はパリの現場でこの情報解禁コメントを書いています。周りにはドラマの第一期から岸辺露伴を作ってきた素晴らしい日本のチームが居ます。そこに日本の映画チーム、加えてここ数日は極めてプロフェッショナルで真摯な、これまで第一期二期三期を共に作ってきたかと錯覚する様なフランス現地のチームが合流し、唯一の作品が出来上がっていくのを目の当たりにしています。

第一期の撮影時、演出の一貴さんと、あくまで『夢想』として『岸辺露伴ルーヴルへ行く』の話をしていました。いつか実際に、パリで撮影が出来たら、と。そして今、パリ市街の石畳の上、露伴として立っている自分に違和感を覚えていないのは、間違いなく、卓越したスタッフワークに支えられているからだと思います。異国においてもこれまでと何も変わらずに露伴で居られる事を、心から感謝しています。

今撮影しているフランスパートだけではなく、第三期ドラマと並行しながら制作した今作の日本パートも作品全体の重要な部分を担っています。ジョジョの全作品においても大事な要素である血脈、受け継がれるもの、過去、が今作においても語られていきます。

今作は実写ドラマである『岸辺露伴は動かない』シリーズと地続きであることは大前提で、実際9話目にあたる物語になります。これ迄ドラマシリーズを観てくださった方はもちろん、独立した一つの作品としても、これまでの露伴の足跡をご存知ない方にも楽しんで頂ける映画作品になっていると思います。過去と向き合うことは、必然的に、今存在していることに繋がるもので、時間は誰にとっても優しくも残酷にもなりますが、例外なく今作の露伴にも、その存在を問いかけてきます。

劇場に足を運んでくださる皆さんにおかれましては、非常にユニーク（奇妙、特異、唯一）なこの作品を楽しんで頂ければと思っています。

The third season of the "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan" drama has just finished airing... To tell the truth, we've been working on filming this movie the whole time! Just as I predicted in one of my lines in the last episode of the drama, Rohan-sensei finally goes to the Louvre! And as his editor, I'll be going to Paris with him!

I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude toward the wonderful team that has always supported us, but also toward the new staff members who have joined us this time around and allowed us to perform in this wonderful new environment! Once we began shooting with the local staff team in France, I managed to overcome the language barrier between us and savor the excitement of helping bring a project of this scale to life.

It makes me so happy that another new episode is being added to this work, which everyone's been looking forward to for a long time! Rohan-sensei and Kyoka face the mysteries hidden within the distant Louvre Museum, along with the past itself! I hope you all enjoy this work just as much as the last one!

「岸辺露伴は動かない」第三期ドラマは放送終了したばかりですが…実は映画の撮影も密かに進行していました！今期ドラマのラスト、私の台詞にもありましたが露伴先生が遂にルーヴルへ！私も担当編集として、パリに行けることになりました！

今回も引き続き、素敵ないつものチームに支えていただきながら新しいスタッフさんにも加わって頂き、より一層心強く、素晴らしい環境のもと、お芝居をさせていただけていることを心から感謝しています！フランスの現地スタッフさん達との撮影では言葉の壁を越えて、大きな規模の作品作りが出来ている幸せを噛み締めていました。忘れられない経験になりそうです。

ここまで長く皆さんに楽しみにしていただける作品に、また新しいエピソードが加わることをとても嬉しく思っています！露伴先生と京香が、遠く離れたルーヴル美術館に隠された謎と、過去に向き合います！是非これまで通り、楽しんで頂けたらと思っています！

The city of Paris seen in the movie The Conformist is decadent and dismal. It's not a city of flowers where people celebrate life, but rather a dark city filled with the stench of death and perversion. Ever since the project started three years ago, the visual, artistic, and costume design of "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan" have taken heavy inspiration from that movie.

When I visited Paris to begin shooting, I found a beautiful but cold world draped with thick and heavy clouds on the verge of falling, where the freezing-cold rain kept pouring down, just like in The Conformist. And now, Kishibe Rohan is standing there.

It's an odd feeling, a mix of déjà vu and exhilaration. But there is not a hint of sentimentality. Rohan is supposed to be there, and there he is. Filming begins as usual.

映画「暗殺の森」で描かれるパリは退廃的で陰鬱だ。人々が生を謳歌する「花の都」ではなく、死と倒錯の匂いが充満した「黒い街」。3年前にプロジェクトが始まって以来、「岸辺露伴は動かない」の映像ルック、美術設定、扮装表現は、常にこの映画から有形無形の大きな刺激を受けてきた。

撮影で訪れたパリは「暗殺の森」と同様、今にも落ちてきそうな厚くて重い雲に覆われ、凍てつく雨が降り続く、美しくも冷たい世界だった。

そこに今、岸辺露伴が立っている。既視感と高揚感が入り混じる不思議な感覚。しかし感傷はない。露伴は当たり前のように、そこにいる。いつものように、撮影は始まる。

When I first heard that "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan" was going to be made into a live-action series, I didn't have the slightest clue that it would also become a movie. Also, as the series went on and we selected the original works to be adapted, "At the Louvre" was never included in our list of candidates. A two-piece story that unrealistic is now being brought to life.
This is one of the rare stories that focues on Rohan himself. By all means, I hope you enjoy it in the theater.

初めて『岸辺露伴は動かない』を実写化するとお聞きした時、映画になるという想像はカケラもしていませんでした。またシリーズが回を重ねる度に皆で挙げていた原作候補に、この『ルーヴルへ行く』が入ることはありませんでした。そんなダブルでリアリティのない話が実現します。

珍しく露伴自身がフォーカスされた物語です。ぜひ映画館で楽しんで頂ければと思います。
