I've been hyperfixating on the musical I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!! And it made me love Speedwagon even more somehow, which I didn't know was possible.
Also?? May I just say that the whole cast is wonderful. They're so talented. AND THE STAGING OF THE MUSICAL WAS INSANE??? IT WAS SO VISUALLY STUNNING T-T
I saw you answered another anon's question about the Phantom Blood musical. My question is, if it gets released on home media, how likely is it that there's going to be an official version released with English subtitles? (If there isn't, there is of course the inevitable fan translation, but still.)
Late with this reply but Toho just announced they'll be putting out a blu-ray release of the musical, planned for this December. There will be three different versions ranging in price from 77,000 to 220,000 yen; the most expensive version will contain both cast performances (Jonathan's played by Yuya Matsushita and Shotaro Arisawa on different nights).
I don't see anything about English-language subtitles and part of me feels like it's unlikely, but with a video release now confirmed there should be fan subs.
Full info on the official website (JP), along with pre-order links with pre-purchase bonuses.
If any of y'all don't know how to buy tickets for the Phantom Blood musical, a kind person made a guide on Twitter!
I had to use a VPN tho, so be warned. I know some fans are recording the musical for posterity's sake, but PLEASE do your best to financially support it so we can hopefully get an official English translation! I know the producers have said they're hopeful for an international release.
I want to thank the JoJo phantom blood musical project for existing, for their hard work from the actors to the staff behind the scenes, for bringing so much joy to my life and for being such a gift for us, fans of Phantom Blood.
Dio Brando in the JoJo musical being haunted by his dead father, Dario, having a mental breakdowns is wild. This man needed so much therapy but he was born in Victorian Era London. This my favorite screenshot bc why tf they look like besties. Dio and Dario in the cut, that鈥檚 a scary sight
