I never thought that I'd ever hear the phrase "JoJo popped my cherry", especially not here.

Not only is the original soundtrack for the anime amazing, but the story was made by an absolute music nerd. There are so many awesome musical references in the art and character names. Araki is so great. Amazing manga series with a lot of love put into it.

You are such a real one for this one. Please do the full version of the opening songs for Jojo.

Next on the list for Jojo OST is Josuke's Theme. Jotaro and Josuke are related in the anime, so as a cleaver nod the Stardust Crusaders Riff is mixed into Josuke's Theme. Other Jojo OST: Pillar Men Theme, Killer, and most if not all the OPs. AT LEAST Sono Chi no Sadame, Bloody Stream, Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town, Great Days, Fighting Gold, and Traitor's Requiem. TONS of great Big Band/Horn Work, and more impressionism too on Traitor's Requiem. NOTE: Jojo's Author has a huge love for Music, so much that most locations, characters and powers are named after songs, bands, and artists. They've even used some western songs for the endings credits all throughout it's history, such as Yes: Roundabout, Savage Garden: I Want You, Jodeci: Freek'N You, Enigma: Modern Crusaders, etc. there are references in the Anime to mostly Classic Rock and Prog with some Rap and Electronic too. I think Doug would have a lot of fun watching this. It's a heavily stylized show with tons of personality, loads of good music, and just one bizarre ride start to end. (BTW because of copyright in the English versions they have to change a lot of the musical references. Most are reasonable like Black Sabbath to Shadow Sabbath. BUT some are really funny. i.e. Limp Bizkit became Flaccid Pancake, Boys II Men became Boys Man Man, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap became Filthy Acts At A Reasonable Price)

When he started playing on the keyboard the exact notes, first time in my life I thought a human being had super powers😭. HOW DID HE KNOW HOW TO PLAY IT THAT QUICK

Great video! I wanted to add that Jotaro's character was heavily inspired by Clint Eastwood and his many roles as a stoic yet noble hero. Of course, being a punching ghost-summoning teenager is a trait on it's own.

A detail that adds a little something to Jotaro's theme is that his father (who doesn't show up in the story directly) is a Jazz musician on a World Tour during the events of Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro is such a stoic character but it's little things like this that shows you that his family is very important to him. (Too bad it'd probably kill him to express any of that outwardly lmao.) Il Vento D'Oro is simply amazing but I get so nostalgic for Jotaro's theme.

1:55 It's technically really just the Stardust Crusaders theme (as in the titular group of 4 characters). The fandom has just taken to calling it Jotaro's theme, as it does most often play when he's involved. Same thing with Giorno's (il vento d'oro) and Josuke's theme.

If you do one more Jojo song, it needs to be Sono Chi no Sadame, the opening theme for Phantom Blood, the first part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Watching you jam to the theme and dissect it and how it works is so much fun. Seeing a non-anime fan react to anime themes is so much fun, especially reacting to a series like JJBA which has a TON of influence from the music that the creator Hirohiko Araki was listening to while creating it.

You wouldn't believe how fast I clicked on this. This is *THE* JoJo theme for me

JJBA's soundtrack is absolutely littered with callbacks and leitmotifs, the Joestar Family Bloodline being an integral part of the story (all the main characters are related). Watching it from start to finish, and hearing bits of past characters' themes littered throughout future characters' themes, is truly special. Love when media makes such effective use of motifs. Characters and music in the series are very much reflective of the time in which the manga was written initially. Part 3 (The part this is from) was written from 89-92.

We gotta get Jonathan's theme in here guys

Doug the research and background you provide for each song and composer is top notch. These would be a quality introduction for the music being performed at any event.

I think your the first "musician reacts/breaks down" channel I've seen give a light introduction to what you are watching. Gotta say that's pretty cool to see you look into the series/media you make vids on.

I think both Giorno's and Jotaro's themes are a bit harmonically stable (other than key changes) because then the editors can slice and splice it to fit the scene. If you like what you hear, definitely try the openings! Cheers!

I don't know this music so I open my ears

the theme just hits when Jotaro is absolutely pumelling someone with his Star Platinum and going "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAAAAAAAAAAA

YES! Thanks Doug! Hadn't even noticed there was a new episode, for a sec I thought it was the previous JoJo song when I saw it. This is absolutely my favourite with Golden Wind. Golden Wind is kinda like a mix of real music and this one is so excitingly odd, has that one riff holding it in place but going everywhere on top of that riff.

These episodes are amazing! And if you liked Jotaro's theme and Giorno's theme, I also recommend checking out "Overdrive" Joseph's theme from Bloody Stream. I'd say it's one of my favs of them all. It just has a kind of energetic jam vibe I love!

I could definitely use some more of that crazy sax, y’all. As my old jazz history teacher would say, “That sh*t is the t*ts, man.”

Yet again you explain JoJo perfectly and succinctly. Great break down and as always fantastic understanding from an outsider.

Here from Italy. Finally another video on anime

You're a legend! LOVE this

I love how much research he did for this video

Do Josuke's theme next, very groovy

I heavily recommend the ost "La strada giusta" from Jojo part 5. It feels very classical and I think it's the best ost in the series as a composition

Haven't seen anyone suggest it but Theme of Stone Ocean (Jolyne's theme) is great too.

Love the energy and the way you make sure to do your research, looking forward to more game and Japanese music (no need to stick to just anime!)

great stream! Fondly enjoyed, Thanks Maestro!

For a lot of us Part 3 was our introduction to Jojo, since there was a series adapting parts of it in the 90's. It was mine and I fell in love, but didn't get in to the series as a whole until the 2012 adaptations started. This theme comes in at a couple key moments in parts 4 and 6 in the anime and it ALWAYS pumps you up when that electric guitar hits!

Man I love these videos

You should really listen to the opening of the second part of JoJo. It's called Bloody Stream and it's honestly amazingly good. Love your videos and your enthusiasm btw!!

Jojo got me more into Yes which brought me to this channel. Full circle!

One learns something new every day - I’ll have to find time to check that one out. ❤

1:09 LMAO After his initial thoughts on Dr. Jotaro's behavior, I'd love to see his reaction to what Jotaro calls his mother at the beginning of that arc.

Man, it's really good to see you reacting to songs like that. There are a lot of animes and games songs that deserve appreciation. You will love Saint Seiya soundtrack, Final Fantasy OST (Nobuo Uematsu is a genious), Castlevania (every single game released has imressive compositions, especially the one called Symphony of the night). You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

thanks for not pausing the music!

every jojo protagonist has a super memorable and impactful theme! i love your open-mindedness and excitement with the tracks and although the anime opening themes aren't orchestral/instrumental-based (vocal focused), i hope you manage to listen to them someday as well!

Eyyyy always down for more jojo music

This is a Masterpiece, I absolutely love JoJo, it features SO many type of art SO WELL. It is like a the greatest expressions of the greatest types of art served to you in a single plate. ❤

I love that both of the JoJo songs I've watched you react to so far were the "beatdown" songs that play when the main character is reducing someone's bones to dust.

It's nice to see genuine reacts, not many people do their research and are real when reacting

I seriously recommend Cry Baby by Official Hige Dandism. I can guarantee people who know music theories like you would enjoy it. It's super complicated as there are so many modulations but very well composed. I'm sure you'll be surprised.

You should watch the opening 2 of Jojo!

I'm really looking forward to the reaction to Jojo's openings and themes

Yeah! I'm pumped for more anime music! There's so much music from some great series that I'd love to see him react to and I'm trusting the patrons to pick some great ones. (JJBA, AOT and Bebop were a great start) FLCL, The Pillows, would be my number one.

Just wanted to say, everytime you play the exact correct notes on the piano get me really shocked and excited and I don't know why

i love you please do more do more you my fav composer vibe

Breaks my brain a bit to hear jotaro pronounced that way but gosh I love the appreciation for all the wacky shifts in the theme! Awesome!!

Doug you MUST check out the music from the animated movie “your name” (J: Kimi no na wa). The band radwimps plays with an orchestra and it is absolutely beautiful music! You’d love it!

The bass in this is so fun to play, but that's true of most Jojo songs.

When this music plays, we know that Jotaro is invincible.

Red Garden’s Jolly Jolly by JiLL Decoy Association is a very fun and jazzy track. I feel most people have never really heard of them even in the Anime space state side. Everyone should give the song a listen.

For another good anime song, I recommend "Watashi Dake Yuurei" by sick hack. its from an anime called "Bocchi the Rock!", and its a really good music anime.

Need more gaming and anime Doug breakdowns.

The truth is that it is the theme of the stardust crusaders, that is, the group that makes up our protagonist and his companions. People call it Jotaro's theme because he is the protagonist so he is the most involved with the solutions to the problems (Which is where this OST generally sounds) but it also sounds like it for any of the other crusaders when it is their turn to stand out.

I think you should react to some of the actual openings for the show Doug. Same energy, with lyrics and visuals to really show what it’s all about (I recommend Bloody Stream from Part 2)

really want to Doug to check out One Winged Angel from Final fantasy VII

I was wondering if you'd ever do a video on lost media like the "Everyone Knows That" song. It'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on that lost song clip.

Yesss !!! 🤘👍

A fun thing about this theme is the motif shows up in a bunch of different parts of the soundtrack, it's real cute.

About JJBA - there's no such thing as a bad JoJo track, so everything else is absolutely fine. On a completely unrelated note, I think you'd really like the music by Yuki Kajiura, particularly from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. She blends together a ton of different styles into something that is unmistakably her and it's awesome m

I really want you to know, that JoJo is a anime about family tree of Joestars. So if you would continue to listen to JoJo main themes, remember that, chronologically new music, have some reference to the ones that came before.

Hey Doug, my daughter loves your Jojo reactions. She would love it if you did Virtuous Pope(Kakyoins Theme) by Yugo Kanno

Not sure if you picked up on the brilliant counterpoint during the main theme with the horns. Theres a descending line at the same time as the ascending line

Would love to see more Jojo, such as "Bloody Stream" "Priest" and "Killer"

One anime that I would nominate to check out music wise, is Bleach or Berserk, both of those are just filled with bangers

I love your reaction, I love it when you turn to play the piano, you should react to Josuke’s theme now XD from Jojo’s bizarre adventure: diamond is unbreakable

Next Anime Song you cover HAS TO BE Unravel from Tokyo Ghoul by TK. TK is the Singer and Guitarist, and he's amazing at both. Great for a Metal Monday

Has anyone suggested music from 1990s anime video "Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still"? It's composed by Masamichi Amano, has 7 albums of OST, performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. Amano even condensed the whole thing into 2 symphonies.

In part 2 of JoJo's the main villains, the pillar men, are all named after some kind of band. For example, one of the three pillar men is called Esidisi. I think it's pretty obvious what group the name taken from

Hunter x Hunter and Attack on Titan both have incredible OSTs if you’re ever interested in more anime music.

this theme song is even better when you associate it with what happens in the anime lol

I feel this ost to be so unique specially when it comes to anime, it mixes a lot of stuff to sound very unique. next, JOSUKE THEME AND BLOODY STREAM ARE A MUST!

Anime again! 😄This one is a great one, for sure!

Since you're a classical composer, "Il mare eterno nella mia anima" is a JoJo song that might be of big interesting to you. It's more Italian Opera than anything and it's a beautiful song.

I really feel like the next anime you should look to for music is Berserk. Forces is easily one of my favorites.

That was really good. Next you really need to do "Avalon" from Part 2.

YEAH thanks

Yes, now you talking about it’s 007,,, omg I never knew.

I'm having a real blast listening to these reactions and analyses. Given that the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series was this channel's first introduction to anime, I'd love to see The Daily Doug visit the very first season of JoJo's and take a look at the season 1 theme, "Sono Chi no Sadame" by Hiroaki TOMMY Tominaga to see how strong this show went right from the get-go hahaha. It's an iconic track.

To be continued pls

As a fun fact, this being the main theme of Stardust Crusaders, the whole melody of this theme is re-used in different ways throughout the soundtrack in different tracks. Like, this is the main and epic version that plays when the main character Jotaro does cool stuff, but then there's a a track that's a goofy piano version for when the main gang is fooling around, or a more sinister version (played also piano) for mistery or uneasing scenes. In my opinion that's really cool, since it helps to give the soundtrack a certain identity, and it makes it feel stronger when the main version plays. Great video! Also, another fun fact: Jotaro's character is actually based in the cool and badass demeanor from that of Clint Eastwood in his movies, a personal hero of the author of the JoJo series when he was a kid

you should make a reaction video of all the jojo openings. People LOVE jojo and i think you would get an substantial amount of viewers if you do. pretty please

I just found your channel I've watched a couple of your reactions and I love your commentary and would love to see you react to usseewa by ado

❤

Hold on, the notes that are being played at around 5:40 are similar to the main melody in Il Vento D'oro.

Want another JoJo theme to examine later? Check out Yoshikage Kira's.

Doug you would love the Lupin the Third soundtrack especially many versions of Zenigata March

You HAVE to listen to the original opening for the first series of the anime. The song is called "sono chi no sadame"

Please do the OST of Ghost in the Shell. One of the first anime I 've seen and the opening sequence with the soundtrack still is one of the best intros I have seen

Wait until he hears Bloody Stream!

Now watch it ;)

I want to see Doug do The Shaggs. My pal's name is foot foot.

It feels strange to hear this theme without the continuous 'ora ora' screamed over it but great choice of review this week

Tank is amazing, but Bad Dog No Biscuits is my favorite track from cowboy bebop!

Please do the Jojo openings!! Love your videos

if you could do another JoJo song i’d really love to see you react to Fighting Gold one of my favorite opening songs

ONE OF US!!!! can you do Yu Yu hakusho next? I think you´d really like that theme, some of the japanese voice actors sing. It reminds me of American rag time? (im not huge into rag time, but it reminds me of that)
