JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ファントムブラッド) is an upcoming live-action musical adaptation of Phantom Blood scheduled for February 2024. The musical will be performed at the Imperial Theater in Tokyo, Sapporo Cultural Arts Theater Hitaru in Sapporo, and the Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Nishinomiya, Japan.

Tsuneyasu Motoyoshi is in charge of the script, Ney Hasegawa, director of the Fujiyama Anette theater company, is in charge of directing the musical, and Dove Attia is in charge of the music.[2]

Summary

The story revolves around the mysterious Stone Mask excavated from Mexico and follows the adventurous tale of the fateful destinies of two young men. Set in England in the 19th century, Jonathan Joestar, nicknamed "JoJo", is the only son of the noble Joestar family. His father, Sir Joestar, raises him under strict yet warm guidance to become a "true gentleman". The Joestar household adopts Dio Brando, who was born and raised in the slums, believing that Dio's deceased father, Dario Brando, had saved Sir Joestar's life. Sir Joestar raises the two as equals, and they grow up strong.

However, Dio schemes to take everything from JoJo; his beloved dog Danny, his friends, his first love Erina Pendleton, and even the Joestar family's wealth. Realizing Dio's evil intentions, JoJo heads to the slums of London, Ogre Street. With the help of his new ally Robert E. O. Speedwagon, they drag Wang Chan back to the Joestar mansion because of his involvement in Dio's conspiracy. In a desperate situation, Dio harnesses the power of the mysterious Stone Mask, displayed in the Joestar house, to gain immense strength.

To counter the overpowering Dio, JoJo endures the rigorous training of Will A. Zeppeli to master the "Ripple Technique". Both of them set out on a journey with Speedwagon to settle the score with Dio. Meanwhile, Dio, with the likes of Jack the Ripper and legendary knights under his command, builds an evil empire and awaits JoJo's arrival.[1]

I never dreamed I'd be involved with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in this way, and I can't hide my surprise and joy. Moreover, I'm truly honored to play the charismatic Dio Brando from the JoJo series. I've always loved Part 1 and revisited the original work countless times. I aim to capture Dio's overwhelming presence, his terrifying nature, and the delicate emotions that lie deep within his madness. With the unique possibilities of a musical, we'll unfold a JoJo world like no one has ever seen before. Please look forward to it!

自分がまさか、このような形で『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』に携わる事ができるとは夢にも思っていなくて、驚きと喜びを隠せません。そして“ジョジョ”のシリーズの中でも、カリスマ中のカリスマ〈ディオ・ブランドー〉を演じられる事、心より光栄に思います。しかも僕は〈第１部〉が大好きで、当時、何度も何度も原作を読み返していました。ディオの圧倒的な存在感、恐ろしさ、狂気の奥底にある…繊細な感情をつぶさに捉え、彼に向き合っていきたいと思います。ミュージカルだからこそ出来る衝撃的な演出で、今まで誰も見た事のない“ジョジョ”の世界を繰り広げますので、どうぞお楽しみに！

From the time of its initial serialization, I've been one of those captivated by the charm of the characters and its unique world. I had always thought that if it were ever adapted to the stage, I'd definitely go see it, and if allowed, I'd love to be a part of it. Now, I'm honored to be performing as Zeppeli, and I feel a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility. While staying true to the original as a fan, I hope to bring my unique charm to this production and contribute in every way I can.

I've enjoyed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure since my middle school days. Standing on its stage is beyond a dream come true, and it still hasn't fully sunk in. I can't even count how many times I've been encouraged and inspired by quotes emanating from the characters' philosophies. With an extraordinary sense of excitement and fear, I'll give my all to fully dive into the incredibly beautiful, dangerous, and mysterious world of adventure that Araki-sensei has created.

中学生の時からずっとずっと憧れ続けてきた『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』。その舞台に立てるなんて夢のまた夢で、いまだに実感が湧きません。登場人物たちの哲学から放たれるセリフの数々に、これまでどれだけ励まされ、勇気をいただいたか分かりません。荒木先生の描き出す途轍もなく美しく危険で妖しい冒険の世界へ、尋常じゃないワクワクと恐怖とともに、丸ごとダイブできるよう全身全霊をかけて挑みます。

I believed that one day there would be a stage adaptation and have been eagerly waiting for this day for nearly 10 years since I started acting. JoJo is that much a part of my blood and oxygen. It has been both a mental and physical sustenance in all my artistic endeavors! I'm convinced that the reason I can participate in this work is due to a very bizarre yet somewhat inevitable form of gravity. If I hadn't made that choice back then, if I had continued doing this, or if I had no choice but to give up on that... all those things are what led me here today. I want to take pride in the life I've lived.

“
いつの日か舞台化の時が来る。そう信じて役者を始め約１０年、この日を待ち侘びていた。それ程までに“ジョジョ”という作品は私の血であり酸素であり、あらゆる表現活動において精神的肉体的な糧となった！！この場に参加させて頂けるのも、とても奇妙だがある種必然とも言える引力のおかげだと確信している。あの時それを選択していなかったら、これをやり続けていたから、或いはあれを諦めざるを得なかったから、今私はここにいる。歩んできた人生に誇りを持ちたい。

“
In 1987, when the serialization started, I was 26 years old. I'm an impatient person who can't wait a week, so I was never hooked on weekly manga. After being cast, I read from the first chapter onward and felt, "As Dio's father, I apologize to the entire Joestar family for raising such a son." It made me realize how crucial one's upbringing environment is. However, I'll wholeheartedly portray the worst and most foolish father, keeping the belief that "one person's misfortune makes another person happy" close to my heart. Wahahahaha!

“
連載スタートの１９８７年、２６歳。欲しがり屋で、１週間待ってられへん性格なので、週刊漫画にはハマっていませんでした。出演が決まり第一話から読ませていただき、ディオの父親として「こんな息子に育ててしまい、ジョースター家の皆々様、申し訳ございません」。生育環境はホンマ大切な事やと感じました。が、『ある人間の不幸ってのは、ある人間を幸福にする』という信条を胸に最悪で愚かな父親を力一杯演じます。ウワッハハハハーッ！

Being a gentleman, having the dignity and culture of a Joestar! What is chivalry?! Love for my son! The whims of fate! I'm thrilled to be a part of this! And I was even more excited during the costume shoot! I want to build up the dynamism of creating an original musical with my creative colleagues, feeling the passionate gaze and expectations of both the enthusiastic original fans and those who love musicals. I can't sleep from the excitement already!

ジェントルマン、紳士であること！ジョースターとしての品格、教養！騎士道とは何か？！息子への愛！運命の悪戯！参加が決まり興奮しています！そして！コスチュームでの撮影に更にエキサイトしました！熱狂的な原作ファンの皆さんと、ミュージカルを愛する皆さんの熱視線と期待を感じながら、オリジナルミュージカルを産み出すダイナミズムを、携わるクリエイティブな仲間と築き上げたいと思っています。今から僕自身、興奮で眠れない！
