I always think Araki style of manga is "so much charisma it carry the whole thing". And I mean it in a good way. There are a lot of chaos and freedom in his manga, and a lot of time it doesn't make sense if you think about it. But instead of verify everything with logic and explaination, his character and drawing just pour out so much charisma and energy that you get hook and you don't care.

One thing I love about Yugo Kanno's score for the Part 3 anime onward is how each Jojo has their own theme that is unique and distinct, and yet they all feel cut from the same cloth. I'm not sure if it's some sort of melodic mode or shared chord structure that does this, but it's so instantly recognizable!

@aktiv8301 Жыл бұрын
Jotaro’s theme does not have a pattern of five as he explains at 9:10. The notes aren’t all the same length, it’s just a syncopated rhythm. When the song starts the pattern begins in the middle of a measure, but if you start at the the downbeat (the F or the fourth note), the rhythm of each measure consists of a quarter note, eighth rest, quarter note, eighth note, then a quarter note. This measure would be constantly repeated. In other words, after the first three notes of the song, if you split the pattern into 8 beats, the notes are on beat 1 / / 4 / 6 7 / (Repeating back from beat 1)

I studied this music so much in order to write original music for JoJo! There is a thriving community of composers inspired by this franchise and anime music in general. Great to see that JoJo music is getting wider recognition! I hear the Jotaro theme as 4/4: the first line of the riff starts on the 4th beat and lands on the first beat of the next measure going up chromatically from the major 6th to the tonic. Let me know if you hear it differently taking this approach!

I absolute think that you should do a 2nd part of this sometime. The creator of the Manga, Hirohiko Araki is a HUGE Music Nerd, including naming most characters AND their Special Stand ability after Musicians and Albums, and Yugo Kanno, the composer for the series, knew this and delivered in kind to match the kind of wild, zany, barely contained chaos of the source material. His use of Jazz and Classical composing sensibilities and voicing married with Modern Rock and Synth production as well is absolute BRILLIANCE. It's absolutely epic and wild music befitting the amazing on screen adaptation of a manga series nearing it's 40th Birthday. Yes, JoJo has been a driving force in Japanese Pop Culture for almost Forty. Years.

Love the video but was interested in your hearing of the the guitar in Stardust Crusaders. The way I hear it is that if the 4th note of the sequence is the end of the scale movement, then it’s on beat 1, with the 1st note on the “a” of beat 1, the 2nd on “e” of beat 2, and the 3rd on the “and” of beat 2. This repeats every 2 beats. In other words, if all notes are held until the next one: a dotted eighth note, a regular eighth note, a sixteenth note, and finally an eighth note.
@zachmayo7194 Жыл бұрын
Another Jojo episode would be awesome if you could Charles! Some other songs I could see you enjoying are the following: Bloody Stream, Awaken (Pillar Men theme), Sono Chino Kioku (End of the World), Diamond is Unbreakable (Josuke’s Theme), Killer (Kira’s Theme), Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town, and finally Great Days. All of these are super solid, but if you can only do 4 of them then I would say do Bloody Stream, Killer (Kira’s theme), Diamond is Unbreakable (Josuke’s Theme), and Sono Chino Kioku. Bloody Stream is another wonderful Jazz opening, Killer is the theme to the main Villain of part 4 and I think it’s just so expertly done, Diamond is Unbreakable is the theme to the protagonist of part 4, it is reminiscent of Giorno’s theme in some of the feel but in my opinion I’ve always preferred Josuke’s theme, and Sono Chino Kioku is the spiritual successor to the first song you listened to “Sono Chino Sadame” so you may get enjoyment out of that too.

Great vid Charles. I've only watched a bit of JoJo and knew they had some nice tunes. Maybe I should give it a go again. Also, if you're looking for more anime music with the big band sound, there are some tracks in the show "Kekkai Sensen" which should have some. The story is set in New York, so the composers definitely put some jazz pieces in there. 👍

Enjoyed this very much! There is still some great pieces from Jojos to uncover. Generally enjoy your Videogame/ Filmmusic breakdowns. Especially for a guy well versed in the arts is would recommend the soundtrack of Risk of Rain 2. Very interesting rhythmic and melodic things happening in there. I personally love the final piece "con lentitud poderosa" that gives you a rather dreadful vibe than a triumphant one as you walk up to the boss. Initially in this action packed game this was a sequence where you just walked and the music was the only content to enjoy. Also, small fun fact, all track names are rain inspired. Anyways, it is highly complex music id love to hear your opinion on! Thank you for making these videos!

There are a lot of chaos and freedom in his manga, and a lot of time it doesn't make sense if you think about it. But instead of verify everything with logic and explaination, his character and drawing just pour out so much charisma and energy that you get hook and you don't care.

Jotaro’s theme does not have a pattern of five as he explains at 9:10. The notes aren’t all the same length, it’s just a syncopated rhythm. When the song starts the pattern begins in the middle of a measure, but if you start at the the downbeat (the F or the fourth note), the rhythm of each measure consists of a quarter note, eighth rest, quarter note, eighth note, then a quarter note. This measure would be constantly repeated. In other words, after the first three notes of the song, if you split the pattern into 8 beats, the notes are on beat 1 / / 4 / 6 7 / (Repeating back from beat 1)

Great to see that JoJo music is getting wider recognition! I hear the Jotaro theme as 4/4: the first line of the riff starts on the 4th beat and lands on the first beat of the next measure going up chromatically from the major 6th to the tonic. Let me know if you hear it differently taking this approach!

Man, I've been waiting for Charles to delve into the world of Jojo's music for so long and boy did he deliver !
I absolute think that you should do a 2nd part of this sometime. The creator of the Manga, Hirohiko Araki is a HUGE Music Nerd, including naming most characters AND their Special Stand ability after Musicians and Albums, and Yugo Kanno, the composer for the series, knew this and delivered in kind to match the kind of wild, zany, barely contained chaos of the source material. His use of Jazz and Classical composing sensibilities and voicing married with Modern Rock and Synth production as well is absolute BRILLIANCE. It's absolutely epic and wild music befitting the amazing on screen adaptation of a manga series nearing it's 40th Birthday. Yes, JoJo has been a driving force in Japanese Pop Culture for almost Forty. Years.

8:33 you're trying to do all 4 notes the same length, but it's actually: singular dotted 8th (the melody starts on the "last" note of another set of 4, like a lead-in) then the 4-note pattern, starting on the (one-e-and) AH of beat 1, goes: 8th - 16th - 8th - dotted 8th

Got a shiver down my spine at 11:59 .

You should check out more of the Jojo music, it's very unique for every season!!
You should check Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star)'s soundtrack. It is phenomenal! Its soundtrack is inspired by 70s and 80s disco/jazz/orchestral rock/big band music in which I believe you are really interested in, since the anime came out in the mid 80s along with an anime movie that came out in 1986. Fun fact, Fist of the North Star is THE anime that inspired many famous Shonen anime to pop up like Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and of course Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (hence the show is nick named the father of Action Shonen).

That part of Giorno's theme still sounds as good as it did when I first heard it... What a perfect harmony and melody pairing, 100% cohesive yet so much dramatic, colorful motion
Love the video but was interested in your hearing of the the guitar in Stardust Crusaders. The way I hear it is that if the 4th note of the sequence is the end of the scale movement, then it’s on beat 1, with the 1st note on the “a” of beat 1, the 2nd on “e” of beat 2, and the 3rd on the “and” of beat 2. This repeats every 2 beats. In other words, if all notes are held until the next one: a dotted eighth note, a regular eighth note, a sixteenth note, and finally an eighth note.
Another Jojo episode would be awesome if you could Charles! Some other songs I could see you enjoying are the following: Bloody Stream, Awaken (Pillar Men theme), Sono Chino Kioku (End of the World), Diamond is Unbreakable (Josuke’s Theme), Killer (Kira’s Theme), Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town, and finally Great Days. All of these are super solid, but if you can only do 4 of them then I would say do Bloody Stream, Killer (Kira’s theme), Diamond is Unbreakable (Josuke’s Theme), and Sono Chino Kioku. Bloody Stream is another wonderful Jazz opening, Killer is the theme to the main Villain of part 4 and I think it’s just so expertly done, Diamond is Unbreakable is the theme to the protagonist of part 4, it is reminiscent of Giorno’s theme in some of the feel but in my opinion I’ve always preferred Josuke’s theme, and Sono Chino Kioku is the spiritual successor to the first song you listened to “Sono Chino Sadame” so you may get enjoyment out of that too.

I thoroughly enjoy watching you get so excited over those themes, I wish you stuck on the diamond theme for longer, it was so good!!
I’m assuming the reason “stardust crusaders” is mostly using 5s is because the Stardust Crusaders is a group of 5 main characters

I think it's not using 5s and the stardust crusaders are a group of 6
You absolutely have to do a Part 2, the music only gets better from here!
I would be really interested to see your analyis on more songs through out jojo, there's lots of interesting harmonic content to accompany the themes and characters on screen
I came here for Vento D'Oro, and I was not disappointed. While I was listening, I noticed the same chord progression (or at least part of it) is used in the song Close Enough for Love. The first two bars, specifically, then it goes through the major relatives, do some chromatic ups and downs over there, and then they close the loop so elegantly.
I would love a part 2 of this- there's so much amazing music, particularly in the show's openings. Great Days, Fighting Gold, Traitor's Requiem, and the Part 6 opening are my personal favorites.
This is everything I love…Jazz, anime, educational breakdown!!! Perfect video! Two thumbs up 👍
YEEEEEAH, i wasn't expecting that you would appreciate this beautiful soundtrack, keep going on the exceptional analysis of so many good songs in anime!!
My fave part of the Giorno theme drop is the "duhduhduhduhduhduhduh" that pops up for like a measure. Gets the blood pumping

@@skywardstargaze1768 that sax makes me swirm because its such a great sound, and it's an even better solo.
PLEASE do more, this is super educational and very entertaining as a jojo fan
I do want to say that on the bass for Giorno, instead of playing an Ab sometimes I play it as an A natural, which causes more of that good jazzy dissonance
I would love to see you cover Josuke's theme someday too, was surprised it wasn't in this video
I for one would love a part 2 on this video, since theres just so much to talk about when it comes to JoJo
Great vid Charles. I've only watched a bit of JoJo and knew they had some nice tunes. Maybe I should give it a go again. Also, if you're looking for more anime music with the big band sound, there are some tracks in the show "Kekkai Sensen" which should have some. The story is set in New York, so the composers definitely put some jazz pieces in there. 👍

JoJo is set in all kinds of places, not only England, but also America, Italy, Egypt and of course Japan. So much Great music in all different kinds of flavors
looking at people having so much fun and excitement hearing music that you love is something i love so much about these videos
Can we just get a full album of the little improvisations Charles does when explaining? I would listen to it all day xD
I've been waiting for this video! Hope you do a Part 2 some time.
thaks for describing more about how you figure out each chord and their sounds. It's super interesting and helps me a lot
I hope you do more JOJO breakdowns! Part 4 crazy noisy bizarre town is a great op as well!
I hope he returns and takes a look at Josuke's and Kira's theme. Feel like he'd like them :)
I’ve been deeply invested in Yugo Kanno’s music for a few years now. A large section of my channel is dedicated to extensions, suites and mixes for the JoJo series as a whole and it’s always a good time going through seeing what I can make from it. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of the Stone Ocean OST alas…still no idea when that’ll be out.
Enjoyed this very much! There is still some great pieces from Jojos to uncover. Generally enjoy your Videogame/ Filmmusic breakdowns. Especially for a guy well versed in the arts is would recommend the soundtrack of Risk of Rain 2. Very interesting rhythmic and melodic things happening in there. I personally love the final piece "con lentitud poderosa" that gives you a rather dreadful vibe than a triumphant one as you walk up to the boss. Initially in this action packed game this was a sequence where you just walked and the music was the only content to enjoy. Also, small fun fact, all track names are rain inspired. Anyways, it is highly complex music id love to hear your opinion on! Thank you for making these videos!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CHARLES // LOVE YOUR CONTENT
We need a part 2!
Hi, Charles!! Love the channel and I'm really interested in getting into streaming myself and I would LOVE to get a little tour/overview of your room there and how you set it up, because it looks GREAT. Thanks!!
Really dig the pure enthusiasm. This is the best energy for this sort of analysis, because personally speaking, it really is that exciting.
Can you maybe do a video on Randy Newman (similar to what you did to John Williams)and his work within Pixar films such as Monsters Inc and Toy Story, love his writing so much
As far as beautiful piano based soundtracks, A Silent Voice is a must. A lot of absolutely stunning ambient piano pieces.
As somebody who wants to go into film and video game scoring your channel is the most helpful tool I have ever seen. Thank you!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR SO LONG
MORE JOJO MUSIC ANALYSIS PLEASE! (also anime music in general please)
I would love to hear your reaction to Ne Obliviscaris _and plague flowers the kaleidoscope_
Great content as always! Charles, could you give a little bit more focus to what the chords you mention are in relation to the scale (I, II, iii, etc)? You do but I feel more of that would be super helpful! Thanks for the amazing content you create!
I've been waiting for this very moment Also, please do a part 2 talking about more jojo songs!
I honestly don’t even watch a lot of anime but the soundtrack to JOJOs definitely caught my attention since the first episode
If the anime soundtrack videos continue, i think made in abyss would be a great fit. Kevin Penkin’s work is one of a kind here and i think has a lot of interesting details that charles can go into depth with
That was just AWESOME. I just really need to see a part 2 of this with BLOODY STREAM!
Love your content man, keep it up.
11:58 JESUS THAT MADE ME HAPPY 🥹🥹🥹Charles, I know we all say it... but seeing just HOW MUCH you love what you hear brings us so much joy. That part in particular, I was right there with you pulling the stankest of faces😤, and getting caught up in the gorgeousness of that whole progression... It was beautiful and I'm so glad you picked it apart like that! 😍😍😍
