Sorry if I was a bit "chatty" but I loved this track and of course, it was a live stream. The full vod of this session is avil to the public for the next 60 days as well - www.twitch.tv/keyofgeebz :) AWWWRIGHT!!

The entire Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series is filled with good music and references to music. The main villain for multiple seasons is named Dio and the first season the outro song is Roundabout by Yes.

These big compositions for anime are typically "Inserts", where the song plays only during particular impactful moments and tends to be a fair bit more forward than normal OST.

To your comment about how video games and anime expose people to genres they never would've been exposed to otherwise: Absolutely. You couldn't be more right about that. Video games and anime as a medium are unafraid of experimentation, and they really help broaden our horizons in many ways.

As the 'JoJo' guy, I appreciate you giving this a listen. Truly a masterpiece of a song! Hope the rest of the OST makes it your way sometime :)

6:08 Fun fact: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a series that references music for character names, and Santana is actually one of those name references!

To answer the quick question at the end, "first person" is when your eyes are the same as the character you are controlling, while "third person" is when you can see your character on the screen moving around, as if there was a cameraman following it.

I love these videos so much, it’s such a joy seeing someone from an outside perspective listen to the wonders of these songs you don’t hear on the radios

JoJo in particular is imo a love letter to fashion, action, and music and then amps it to an 11. A lot of the "spirits" or Stands as they call it are named after bands and songs. The range of music is everywhere. And they make it a point to flex the different genres. The love for music is there and they make it a point to make sure every second of the music has something to add. Great cover btw, and I'm hoping you are enjoying your journey into the anime/game verse of song!

What you said about people who enjoy anime and video games being exposed to a wider variety of music is so incredibly true. I find so much modern music to sound exactly the same. But as amazing as this music is on its own, I almost feel like part of what makes it *truly* special is experiencing it as a part of the full package. Watching the song play during an emotional or empowering moment that you’ll always be reminded of whenever you re-listen to it. Of course, you’ll often be too distracted by what’s going on on-screen to fully appreciate the song at the time. That’s why I like to experience this kind of music both with and without the context. First experience as part of the show or game so I have can establish that emotional connection to a specific moment or feeling, then on its own to appreciate the entirety of the composition on its own merits, all while still being able to draw on those memories of my first experience.

Giorno is part 5's main character and the story is set in Italy. It is basically the world's longest anti drug commercial and it's my favourite part 😂

Loved this reaction. This is one of my favorite anime songs and I'm glad you appreciate it. Rock on brother!

There are a number of anime shows out there with fantastic music scoring. JoJo's is known for it, as the creator of the series uses the soundtrack he listens to while working to influence his work. Several characters are named after songs/artists/albums. From the first series alone, you meet Baron Zeppeli, Robert E.O. Speedwagon, and Dio, and the list just goes and goes from there.

I love the talk you had at the end of the video, I completely agree with you! When I was younger, video game (and then later anime) music were very near and dear to me, then as I got older I started playing an instrument so I got further immersed in music as a whole. Since then it feels like both mediums have just expanded on each other for me since one helps me appreciate the other even more

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure started as a manga (comic) that started originally in 1987, and is still being written/published to this day. It is divided into multiple "parts" with each part covering a different character, time period and geographical region: the original Jojo takes place in the 1890s in England, the second part takes place in the 1930s in Italy, the third in the 1980s in the Middle East, etc. The author just started up Part 9, to give some context for how long this thing has been going on. And, unsurprisingly, each part is also musically distinct. This song comes from Part 5, which takes place in the early 2000s, so it takes a lot of hints from hip-hop and other musical genres popular at the time. Of course, it also has that certain flair that you can find in a lot of Jojo music, which you may understand more as you hear more of the songs from it.

I recently found out that not only show refers to popular music but also its soundtrack does. I myself recognized intro from "Owner of a lonely heart" by Yes in Taku Iwasaki's "Welcome to the world" and there's also "Jaws" main motive in Yugo Kanno's "Shark". There definitely is much more to discover, so I would like if you listen to at least the most popular and recognizable OST of this.

Yess!!! Asked for this in the comments a few weeks ago!

Hope you do "Stardust Crusaders" (also known as "Jotaro's Theme") from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure also! Personally, it's my favorite track of the entire series and I think it's a fantastic listen for any composer to check out!

AYE LETS GOO. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has been an Anime for a long time. Since the 90's I think. This song is from Part 5 Golden Wind which was from a couple years back. Late 2010's. Loads of good songs. If you do a deep dive with this, every all the opening songs are good. Very diverse too. Anime Ops are going to be most of your requests for Anime fyi. Not that there isn't good OST, but there are hundreds of great Ops and Eds and there are more known and talked about then OSTs. More Mainstrem, I guess.

Stumbled upon this video, and subconsciously did the bass scrunch face along with you! Love the energy, definitely subscribing for more

You will 100% love many things about this OST, especially the openings and character themes, don't miss out on them! It's a show with lots of funny musical references and homages so you'd most likely enjoy watching it too.

Prog rock, blues, heavy metal, emo, classical, celtic, jpop, jazz, etc etc. Anime and Games taught me even back in the days of CDs and cassettes that you never need to limit your listening taste to genres.

I am so happy to hear you are listening to JOJO, what would be even better are some intros from certain seasons of the show, with visuals as well with more context, other than that fantastic seeing your response to this!

every single jojo song is a BANGER the openings are just perfection

JJBA is in a nutshell a generational piece about a bloodline of heroes battling evil across the eras, except it simultaneously both takes itself seriously and is extremely wacky and dialed up to 11 all over. Each season, or "part", is almost like a completely different show: Part 1 "Phantom Blood" - Family Drama and Vampires in England Part 2 "Battle Tendency" - Nazis vs Vampires in Europe Part 3 "Stardust Crusaders" - Road Trip to Egypt Part 4 "Diamond is Unbreakable" - Small Town Murder Mystery in Japan Part 5 "Golden Wind" - Italian Gangsters Part 6 "Stone Ocean" - Prison Drama in America

So glad you love that track. Super popular song to play amongst ourselves when I was in high school band :DD. Such a good composition. This is the song played when the main characters use their most kick ass moves.

didn't expect this video but it definitely made my evening better! love the music and you reactions

the jojo series as a whole is a love letter to music

The progression you did after it "ended" really reminded me of a theme from Jojo I can't exactly recall it, but it really had the vibe for one of the seasons of the anime. Great video, very enjoyable to listen along with you!

I've been waiting for this one! There's so much more great stuff from Jojo's.

YES ! I hope to see more jojo tracks, they're all bangers !

7:29 lollll I can't believe the camera just blurred itself when the bomb dropped Are you sure you did not plan that with your STAND power?

Oh man, I know there's been a lot of video game soundtrack reactions on here but listening to a Jojo theme is gonna open up a whole can of worms from fans. Loved the video!

Exellent breakdown, even tho I have watched a handful of breakdowns of this song, it amazes me that every single one is distinct, gives different perspectives and always tells me something new about music as a whole. Also, playing Doom with music volume turned down is a crime against humanity.

Music has always been a big thing in Japan, especially jazz and alternative, I follow a page that discovers all the underground and dive jazz bars in Tokyo alone, You can blame casiopea I suppose

Finally, some good content lol. Thank you good sir, your reaction means everything to a young musician such as myself. Here's the sub!!!!!!!!

How have I never heard this,I found this music this week,and it's the best soundtrack that have ever entered my ears lol. So many different parts to it. Gave me goosebumps 😎👍

HA! I just suggested this! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

the *golden* moment: 7:27

Love this fella, reminds me of my music teacher back when i was a kid.

I highly recommend listening to josuke's theme, it's another great piece from the anime, and it's one of my favorites!

Ah, the classic! Even I know of this song and I didn't watch this anime yet.

omg the mention of kimba the white lion made me so happy i love that anime so much

If you liked the saxophone, you should give the Metal Slug games' soundtrack a try. Neo Geo games almost all had banger OSTs ;7

Having played a good amount of video games and watched a lot of anime, the amount of different types of music I’ve listened to now is incredible. I feel that experiencing stuff like that and actively seeking out different types of music makes me more well-rounded and appreciative of music as a whole, even when I can’t understand the lyrics (in Japanese songs). It also helps me so that I can jam out to whatever I need to during certain times, such as OSTs and lo-fi while doing homework. Also, funny you bring up Santana because one of the villains of Part 2 is named after Santana. The JoJo’s mangaka, Araki, loves Western music and that’s why so many names have references. Also, all of the JoJo’s ending songs are Western songs. It’s an incredibly creative and unique series, it was my first anime and although it’s not in my top ten of favorites, it’s just so special and cool.

How long ago until he gets introduced to Attack on Titan music I especially love “My War”. I don’t even know what genre it could be classified as. The only way I’ve ever been able to describe it is “brainwashing music” and that’s so thematically appropriate for an arc that essentially takes place in a fictionalized version of nazi Germany

Videogames got me into prog and heavy metal, then those got me into Jojo. Solid point haha

Risk of Rain 2 Survivors of the Void - Face of the Deep has really good sax solos too, Chris said it was like a synth sax solo battle between him and the other guy in the recording booth

Subbed love you're reactions, Bleach is another anime that has some really awesome music and is definitely up there with my favorites when it comes to Anime OST's

You gotta try the jojo openings too! There's a lot of them but they're super cool! And don't worry about taking time to enjoy the music, it's great!

Just a heads up for the bit at 2:30, when people talk about video games as "anime", they're just using it as a descriptor for the visual style and tone; video games aren't themselves anime, Anime is just Japanese animation, the term itself is just an abbreviation for animation that's used regularly in Japanese. Love the work as always!

Love this! Watching non-Jojo fans react to Jojo stuff is always a treat. Especially the music.

if your are interested in anime Ost's I highly recommend the Attack On Titan ost. Some of the most incredible music in anime.

this has been my alarm for soo long that whenever i hear his music my brain is like WAKE UP!

I hope u listen to all the main character and main villain themes. They're all super cool and interesting to listen to. Everyone knows the OST u listened since it's also been used in a lot of memes but there's so many pieces of music that I think are just as good or even better.

there is an OST of Jojo's Bizarre adventure that I particularly like for its melody. I would really like you to react to it!!! Strada Giusta

Ah, I first heard Golden Wind when a humorous vlogger showed a clip of "The Engineer Dance" to make a point. That was a meme within a meme. 😊

Dude jojos is an oooooold property since the 80s or 90s i think (sorry if that makes you feel older) Ill probably make it worse when i say the author is in his 60s still making the manga/comic to this very day and still looks like hes in his 30s😂

You should actually react to all the openings of this just like the entire lyrical soundtracks of Metal Gear Rising

The Pillar Men Theme needs to be listened to if he hasn't already.

Awesome, more anime. Such a more powerful piece than atmospheric game music.

Would love if you reacted to Josuke's theme too, that one is my personal favourite!

Something that is fun about anime and game soundtracks is that they will often blend genres. Because there can be a wide variety of situations, characters, etc, many different types of sound can be called for at any given time. So, it can result in the viewer or player being exposed to sounds they may not normally have.

Yeah, Anime and Video games has definitely gotten me into a lot of new music. It's a great way to get in touch with new bands whilst doing something entertaining at the same time. Side note: Manga is just Japanese comic books, so we do not really get any music from those

Now that you've heard Il Vento D'oro, it's time for PEPSIMAN No, I'm not kidding. It slaps _so_ hard

please don't stop these video game, anime ost reactions

Cant wait for you to start Bleach's OST's :)

This is an old video, but I do agree with your point at the end. I would never expect myself to love orchestra music, jazz, or any other type of music other than old school hip hop 😂

Also I think you'd enjoy basically anything from Metal: Hellsinger, especially Stygia.

i got you, pretty much what i understood from the end, if you play halo you might play doom similar style of games to some extent but the music genres are totally different and we the consumers get to enjoy this variety of high quality music and that's totally true

Shoutout to that Kairu Hakubi in chat recommending Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei's OP, good taste!

Now i DEFINITELY recommend reacting to Jojo "Torture Dance" song!~ It's really catchy and comes from Golden Wind as well!~ 🤩

We love more people getting exposure to a new 'genre' of music.

This was awesome

What a great reaction! Will you react to more anime songs in future?

My favorite piece from JoJo is probably "Killer" from Jojo Part 4. Its one of the more interesting pieces. You could check that one out

I think you will enjoy anime "Jujutsu Kaisen"'s Ending Theme Song - "LOST IN PARADISE by ALI".

Yugo kanno has lots of great peice🤩

If you havnt heard before, the power system revolves around these things called "stands". Most/All stands are named after 80s 90s rock music, artists, songs and albums

I NEED a You Say Run reaction

Ye, I found a lot of music through various other entertainment media, that I wouldn't otherwise listen to. From the Initial D anime, I got introduced to Japanese Eurobeat. Starting with m.o.v.e - Around the World A bit weird ... isn't eurobeat an Italian thing? Speaking of Italian ... From Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines video game, I started listening to Lacuna Coil. Swamped was in the game.

Jojo is old school anime and manga by crazy bizarre style 😎✌️

Ciao Ciao JOJO

yes

this music is quite possibly the definition of jazz madness

If you liked this, you definitely need to check out the OST to Cowboy Bebop! Yoko Kanno went wild on that soundtrack!

JJBA review?? Awesome!

What a banger!

4:40 Jojo's is full of western music references, and there is actually a character in part 2 named Santana

If you want to listen to something a bit more epic/symphonic in anime Vinland Saga - Somewhere Else is god-tier. :)

Oh dang you actually got to do 1 jojo piece haha. I've commented on the suggestions video you did about before too, but I'll say it here again since it is related to this video. If you plan on doing the openings, here are the names and singers/artist yet again 1.) JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~ by Hiroaki Tominaga (or TOMMY) [Full Version length is 4mins 22seconds] 2.) BLOODY STREAM by Kazusou Oda (or Coda) [Full Version length is 4mins 22seconds] 3.) STAND PROUD by Jin Hashimoto (or JIN) [Full Version length is 4mins 38seconds] 4.) JoJo Sono Chi no Kioku ~end of THE WORLD~ by JO☆STARS ～TOMMY, Coda, JIN～ (As the name states, it is performed by all three previous artists haha) [Full Version length is 4mins 25seconds] 5.) Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town by THE DU (This band was created to perform this song. The member's names are Jun Shirota, Jeity, and Taisuke Wada) [Full Version length is 3mins 05seconds] 6.) chase by batta [Full Version length is 2mins 15seconds] 7.) Great Days by Karen Aoki & Daisuke Hasegawa [Full Version length is 4mins 03seconds] 8.) Fighting Gold by Kazusou Oda (or Coda) [Full Version length is 4mins 14seconds] 9.) Uragirimono no Requiem by Daisuke Hasegawa [Full Version length is 3mins 30seconds] 10.) STONE OCEAN by ichigo [Full Version length is 3mins 29seconds] 11.) Heaven's falling down by sana (or sajou no hana. This is the band's name) [Full Version length is 3mins 33seconds]

Mann, this theme took me back to 2018-2019.. This song was soo iconic and was re-created and praised by many fans. 😇

Makes me want a Mario Kart 8 (Dolphin Shoals) reaction, and an 8 Big Band reaction (Snake Eater perhaps?)

We need the pillar men now

"Play Doom but turn the volume down"?!?! Geebz! I thought we were cool! 😂

FUCK YEAH GIGANTOR!!!!

Yesss!!! React to the openings 1-13❤️❤️❤️

You can pause video's using the spacebar on your keyboard.

GIOGIO
