a lot of JJBAMaking music a core part of his DNA, right next to fashion, is thanks to mangaka Hirohiko Araki listening to music while he’s been creating manga for nearly 40 years. And the anime’s bizarre localization continues that trend two-fold, doing its best to adapt Legally in a different way, with each of its outros featuring music from Western popular artists, including Yes’ “Roundabout”, The Bangles’ “Walk Like an Egyptian”, Pat Metheny Group’s “Last Train Home”. Savage Garden’s “I Want You”, Jodeci’s “Freakan You”, and Duffy’s “Distant Dreamer”
So, in lieu of no more JoJo Fridays, we’re taking it upon ourselves to recreate the same fan crafting from the old internet that inspired us JJBA Fans Will Edit Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”” As golden windIntroduction, by fan-mixing two songs we think would be perfect steel ball run.
Old Town Road by Lil Nas
Well, yes, obviously we were supposed to choose “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X as one of our songs. Now we can hear you on your keyboard… “Why this rap song? It doesn’t fit JoJos!” Readers, if we could have “Freak N You” as our outro golden windAnything is possible. Plus, Lil Nas jojo’s A reference to the viral photo of him with Tyler the Creator in which he looks like a Stand user with his Stand. The artist himself also tweeted about his fashion sense and asked people to stop saying that he looks like JoJo character, which made the comparison more difficult.
But more importantly, the song has the kind of rebellious spirit that Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli have, running on the edge as an upstart and a guy who’s been around the block for a while, in the same way guys like Lil Nas Plus, it has the perfect equestrian look, and it’s an attractive earworm to boot, making it a prime candidate steel ball runIs outside. David Production and Warner Bros. Japan, if you’re reading this, this would be a great choice as a first outro. steel ball runTo match the fun upstart energy of the manga.
A Horse with No Name by America
America’s “A Horse with No Name” may have a claim to fame in modern times among gamers who grew up ignoring their homework, turning on the in-game radio, and running around aimlessly. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Or is that just me?). But this 1971 folk-rock song seems perfect steel ball run. The horse motif of it all is just as evident here as it is in “Old Town Road”, but its liveliness feels especially perfect as the moody second outro trend that JJBA Has implemented with its second last themes. The song’s themes of escape, isolation, introspection and liberation reflect the difficulty and sadness Gyro and Johnny experience in the final stages of their bizarre adventure.
Personally, this is the song that comes to mind when I think of Gyro proposing a toast to Johnny despite losing everything. I need it.
music and jojo’s run deep
As mentioned above, music and JJBA run deep. On a literal level, it is shown by artists Tommy, Koda and Jin performing in the first three opening parts JJBArespectively, and coming together as a trio for their fourth outro in a musical style reminiscent of Joestar’s family line being connected by a thread. Only here, these are catchy songs that will get the entire stadium dancing. This feeling of connection is true in the first introduction of the anime ghost blood and its latest introduction stone ocean. In ghost blood Introduction, we see the Joestars starting with Part 6’s protagonist Jolin Kujo, Part 5’s Giorno Giovanna, Part 4’s Josuke Higashitaka, Part 3’s Jotaro Kujo, and Part 2’s Joseph Joestar, striking his stylish pose in a manga sequence at the beginning of the opening for his predecessor, Jonathan Joestar, breaking out of the confines of Araki’s manga pages and into the pages of David Production. Let’s go. Vibrant colorful anime in stunning 3DCG.
The intro also featured David Productions pulling a Babe Ruth, signaling a home run, promising that it would eventually adapt to all JJBA From Part 6 onwards. After a series of exciting opening themes (with sound effects and spectacular transitions to match the reality-bending abilities of the cast), that promise was realized in the final opening theme. stone oceanWhere Jolyne steps into that role to carry the torch and fulfill the promise made ten years ago.
Of course, publicity for steel ball run Such excitement was at its peak long before Netflix announced it would be exclusively streaming anime. In fact, fans took matters into their own handsWith love from guitarist YouTuber Nico Bellisario and anime singer Shihori steel ball run So much so that they made”“Holy Steel”, is a tribute song that has been treated as the unofficial theme of the anime for years. We already know that the main theme song will be “Dance with Steel Ball Run” written by Yugo Kanno, the insert song during the final stage of Stage 1, which has already made the top 10 on Billboard’s Japan Songs chart in France, the United Kingdom, and the United States – but we can’t help but dream of it. JJBA’s musical legacy, including our curated fan-mixes as outro songs for whenever the show returns in 2026.
That’s the least we deserve after seeing anime fans acting like idiots, bitching about the show’s release. Do it, Netflix.
