Why Lady Gaga was dancing and kissing on the steps of New York City, the “mecca” of mega-hit movies…

In early April, a woman danced around on the stairs in the Bronx, New York, without being afraid of being seen. She was wearing a mini-skirt, but she spread her legs wide and ended up kissing a man who was standing nearby. This woman, Lady Gaga (37), a.k.a. “the world’s diva,” was dressed in an eccentric fashion with diamonds scattered all over her body. In fact, this is the filming of the sequel to “The Joker.

The sequel to “The Joker,” which was released in 2007 and became a blockbuster hit, grossing over $1 billion (approximately 100 billion yen), will be released in October 2012. The film is based on the Joker, a villain from the “Batman” series, and depicts the transformation of the clown protagonist, Arthur, into the insane Joker. Joaquin Phoenix (48), who played Arthur, won the Academy Award for Best Actor that year.

The sequel to the much-talked-about film has been catching the public’s attention even before its release, but what has drawn the most attention is Gaga dancing on the 132 steps of the staircase. She was chosen to play Harley Quinn, the Joker’s lover, and this film will be her first collaboration with Phoenix. International celebrity writer Haranishi Kaoru explains.

Gaga is… Gaga began her acting career with her appearance in the drama “American Horror Story: Hotel, She was chosen to play the lead role in the movie “Ally: The Birth of a Star,” which was released in 2006. Director Todd Phillips, 52, who is directing the sequel to “The Joker,” was on the production staff of “Ally” and offered her the major role of Harley Quinn after witnessing her acting ability. Gaga posted two shots of the Joker and Harley Quinn in the film on her Instagram on Valentine’s Day this year. Fans said, ‘I can’t wait for it to be released!’ I bet she’ll win an Oscar!” I bet I’m going to win an Oscar!

In the aftermath of a hit movie, fans make a “pilgrimage to sacred places” to visit the locations where the movie was shot, and “The Joker” is no exception. The staircase where the main character transforms into the Joker and performs an eerie dance has become a popular spot known as the “Joker Staircase.

The staircase is a popular spot for tourists to view the Joker’s transformation into the Joker and his creepy dance moves. Many men posed for pictures wearing the same red jacket as the Joker. These days, due to Corona, the fan pilgrimage has calmed down.” The “Joker Staircase” may also be a factor in the Bronx’s lack of security. However, it is expected that the sequel film will include a romance between the Joker and the psychiatrist at the hospital where he was housed. If so, we may see an increase in couples making pilgrimages to the holy place after the sequel is released.

Gaga’s market value as a singer is said to exceed 30 billion yen. The world’s diva is also increasing her presence in acting.
