"chaotic in the best way possible" I know he's describing the music but he doesn't realize how accurate that is describing the series as a whole 😂

its funny how you describe jotaros theme as an "all out attack on the senses", as jotaros signature attack is a barrage of punches

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!

it took me until another musician started talking about it to realize the stardust crusaders theme is an absolutely insane piece of music

PLEASE DO A PART 2 OF THIS!!! THERE IS SO MUCH MORE AMAZING JOJO’S MUSIC

Common Charles W JoJos music just has a ton of layers and lots of “controlled chaos” which perfectly reflects the mood of the show in general

At least in Bloody Stream, but probably also in Sono Chino Sadame, the lead trumpet is the legendary Eric Miyashiro

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)

Im kinda interested on an in depth look into Kira's theme and why it works

Can we just talk about how balls to the walls amazing the delivery of the singer is in the OG theme? Can never get enough, amazing pick by whoever hired him.

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!

great video!! the later Jojo parts have been referencing more and more jazz-related stuff recently (the prison in Stone Ocean called Green Dolphin Street Prison, a character named Jobin, a Stand called Autumn Leaves) it makes me very excited for how jazzy the soundtrack will get in the future

I just hope everyone understands that Josuke's piano walked so that Giorno's could run

As someone who's just now going through the Jojo series (Currently starting the Diamond is Unbreakable arc), watching Charles BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN the different scores just made my day.

I feel like the music alone should indicate how good JoJo is as an anime 🥲

There are so many genius tracks by Yugo Kanno, the current composer for the anime (and some great ones by his predecessors too admittedly), it's a shame it can't all be fit into one video

JOJO FANS ASSEMBLE!!!

When Charles struggles figuring out the structure of a song, you know it’s a good song Also I really hope he will make a part 2 cause the music in JoJo really is made in heaven
