I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

However... besides Dio, there are many other important characters...

"Go advertise for me," Kurokawa Kazuya said. "Advertise for me on Nippon Television, Fuji Television, TV Asahi, TV Tokyo, NHK, and all the major newspapers and magazines. Without exception, they all advertise for me, recruiting voice actors!"

"Huh?" Okamoto was stunned.

"Hmm... Anyone selected to become a voice actor will receive a bonus of 500 million to 5000 million yen. They will also be able to sign a long-term contract with our [JOJO Company]. Even if a suitable role isn't chosen, but one I feel is good, a bonus of 100 million to 1000 million yen will still be given, and a contract can still be signed. The exact bonus amount depends on the importance of the role. This is all your responsibility, as is the advertising copy. In short, I want to see advertisements covering all major television stations across Japan for the next two months! This is also a way to advertise the anime adaptation of *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. The official auditions will begin in two months!"

“But… that would require a lot of money…” Okada couldn’t help but say.

"It's okay, I'll pay for it. It won't be deducted from the budget for each episode. Just go ahead and do it."

"...I understand." Okada Toshio said after a moment of silence, his teeth aching. What else could he say?

In any case, the president is not him.

He wasn't the one who paid for it.

They have so much money they're burning it out, what can we do?

I had no choice but to nod in agreement.

......

Seven days later, during this period, [JOJO Studio] did not produce the first episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Instead, they first prepared the advertisements to be aired on major television stations.

This advertisement, lasting over a minute, represents a significant investment of effort from the JOJO Studio, and it also made them feel a little uneasy...

One advertisement was redone three times.

From visuals to style, everything has been completely overhauled.

Finally... the production was completed in the style envisioned by Kurokawa Kazuya.

"Alright, let's throw it up now." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the advertisement in front of him. This is the kind of effect that JoJo would have.

This effect... is sure to attract people!

Two advertisements were produced. One was actually the opening theme of the first part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, as he remembered it. However, instead of subtitles, it displayed various information such as "voice actor recruitment."

Other.

It's a one-minute advertisement featuring Hideaki Anno explaining how to recruit voice actors.

All in all, it took a little over two minutes. The latter part was finished in half a day, while the former took seven days.

And the recruitment location...

Let's put it in the JOJO theme park!

Perfect timing, that day also happened to be the opening day of the JOJO theme park, killing two birds with one stone.

......

"Ding ding ding ding—ding—ding ding ding ding—ding! JOJO, JOJO!"

"Pfft—" Iwamoto Yu spat out a mouthful of water as he saw the advertisement suddenly pop up on the TV: "Seriously? They've only just started production, and they're already advertising?"

On the television screen.

While music played, the screen showed a series of black-and-white comic book characters from the third to the first generation of the protagonists, until the words "ジョジョの奇妙な冒険" (Jojo no Mysterious Adventure) appeared on the screen.

Then the scene changed.

"Voice actor recruitment?"

......

"A voice actor..."

After finishing his work, Takehito Koyasu returned home: "So, it seems I should continue to develop along this path a bit more."

This year, he made his debut as a voice actor.

However, all the jobs he received were minor, bit parts, or extra roles, none of which interested him.

However, I've been in this industry for half a year now, so I should be able to get a good job next year.

He turned on the TV while he was thinking.

Suddenly, I was startled by an advertisement that appeared out of nowhere.

After passing through a long tunnel, a door suddenly opens, and you can even hear the realistic sound of the door opening.

"Two stars fell from the sky—" At the same time, the song appeared on the television.

Instead of subtitles, what appeared below were these words: "Voice Actor Recruitment!"

"Gradually swallowed and dissolved into the water where light and darkness intersect." The voice continued, and the scene continued to change. Two characters, one with blond hair and the other with blue hair, stood facing each other on two staircases. The scene alternated between color and black and white, accompanied by realistic sound effects.

The goddess statue that appeared in a spiral transformed into a mask held in the hand of a person.

However, he was more concerned about something else...

Large characters appearing on television.

Voice actor recruitment—

"Three months later! On January 22, 1989, the JOJO theme park will officially open in Morioh, and a voice actor recruitment ceremony will be held at the same time!"

"Those selected will receive a prize of 500 million to 5000 million yen. Those who are not selected but have talent will receive a prize of 100 million to 1000 million yen and may have the opportunity to sign a long-term contract with [JOJO Company]."

"What...what is this?" Takehito Koyasu's eyes widened. "This is an anime??"

No...that's not right...this scene, this expressiveness...

Voice actors...

"Perhaps... I can give it a try." Takehito Koyasu gritted his teeth, threw on his clothes, and ran out. In any case, he'd better buy "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" first and familiarize himself with it!

Chapter 158 The Boiling Anime Fans

"Hey! Did you hear? JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is getting an anime adaptation!"

"Of course I've heard. There have been so many JOJO-related ads lately, right? But they're mainly recruiting voice actors."

"But it'll be a long time before we see the full animation..." said Tokie Ishibashi, a student at the school, with great emotion. "That ad was so cool."

"That's it! Why don't we give it a try? Let's see if we can become voice actors!"

"Huh? Us?"

"Maybe it could work!" Tokie Ishibashi's eyes lit up. "It's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which we often imitate! Maybe it really will!"

"Then I'm going to try out DIO! The villain's savior is so cool!"

“I think Jonathan is handsome too, so gentlemanly. Like this…” As he spoke, he struck a JOJO pose and said, “My heart is trembling violently! Burning like it’s about to burn out! The rhythm etched into my blood! The Yamabuki-iro ripples are rushing by!”

"DIO's is cool too! For example, 'Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?'"

"Hey—but didn't you guys notice something else?!" another student walked over and said, "JoJo's theme park! JoJo's theme park!"

"I've been there! I've been there!" Ishizuka Kuno quickly said, "The Joestar family mansion back then was so realistic! But there was still a lot of open space back then, I wonder how it will be this time."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

......

Yu Rong Society

"No mistakes?" Hiroki Goto asked in surprise.

"Yes! That's absolutely right."

Hiroki Goto laughed...and burst into laughter.

JUMC's sales reached seven million this issue!

This... suddenly increased by more than a million!

It's simply unimaginable what happened!

"Has the cause been determined?"

"Yes!" The reporter nodded. "It's probably because of that [JoJo's Bizarre Adventure] commercial that started airing some time ago!"

"Yeah! It's him!" Goto Hiroki paused for a moment as if he'd just realized something, then nodded, sat down, and rubbed his temples. "Seriously, that guy is really crazy..."

He also understands the current situation.

Although many newspapers have started reporting on it, it certainly doesn't have the same impact as television.

but...

It seems that Kurokawa Kazuya's newly established "JOJO Club" has spent billions of yen advertising on almost every television station in Japan that can broadcast ads!

Even some paid channels, that is, channels that do not advertise, are so engrossed in his money-making scheme that they broadcast it as if it were a serious drama!

And there are almost no people who feel dissatisfied with this.

the reason is simple.

That [JOJO Club] ad was of such high quality.

Others may not know much about him, but how could he, the editor-in-chief of JUMC, not know him?

That was absolutely the pinnacle of the industry, a production level even higher than animated films.

That guy... he wouldn't be planning to make his own JOJO with this level of quality, would he?

Hiroki Goto certainly knew who the president of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Company was...

I also know about his JOJO theme park...

Although I don't know exactly how much money was thrown in, judging from the size of the area, I would guess it's probably hundreds of billions of yen.

He couldn't help but remark, "He's really rich..."

Luckily, I didn't offend him... otherwise, he probably wouldn't have said anything about "story integrity" but would have said something like "I want to acquire JUMC" instead...

"Yeah... they're really rich."
