“

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！
