Manga/Music Synchronization in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

== Manga/Music Synchronization in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure==

American fan of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Jacob Todd, is currently documenting a phenomenon in the works of Araki Hirohiko known as Manga/Music Synchronization. This is the theory that mangas can consciously be drawn to be listened to with specific tracks of music and will also play in sync with the song's dynamics as well as lyrics. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is the longest running manga where this has been found, and thus would make Araki Hirohiko a truly revolutionary artist in the manga and comic book community around the world.

The whole premise of this newly discovered artistic technique is that one can literally use a comic book, as well as song track, to be started and played simultaneously and read at a rhythm to each panel and finish reading the chapter approximately as the both the song chapter and song are ending. To prevent copyright infringements, song references are often cleverly hidden within the names of Stand Users, their own Stand abilities, the names of chapters, or other such strongly mentioned references to music within the dialogue.

The controversy surrounding this is largely due from the manga being Japanese, and the majority of fans, who happen to be Japanese, not being able to properly interpret the lyrics of english songs, to find the exact songs that are mentioned in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. This normally leads to people assuming that listening to any songs by the referenced artist would be correct, however, the qualities of the stand and users were mostly inspired from the lyrics within in specific songs.

Phantom Blood
Beginning of Phantom Blood- Get Back by the Beatles

Get Back by The Beatles is where Jojo's Bizarre Adventure derives the name Jojo from, because Jojo is the name of a character in that song. Music by the Beatles is referenced often within Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, because the Joestar bloodline inherits the same namesake, JOJO, this can clearly be seen in their names ie: JOnathan JOestar.

The song lyrics start when the native chief claims immortality. "Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner, but he knew it couldn't last" He absorbs someone else's blood. "Jojo left his home in Tuscon Arizona, bought some California grass" shows Dio and Dario Brando at home, then cuts to the carriage scene. "Get back to where you once belonged" shows carriage incident but cuts back to scene back at dario's home. "Get back Jojo" shows Johnathan! "Go home" He goes home! "Get Back" Dio making his personal revenge by kicking Jojo's Dog, Danny, or getting back at him. When the music softens, Dio attacks Johnathan personally for the first time. Lyrics start again when Dio challenges Johnathan to a boxing match. Loretta could very well be Dio, because guys with long hair can be mistaken for women "All the girls around they said she's got it comin but she gets it while she can" Johnathan has it coming, so Dio takes his opportunity while he can to gouge his eyeball. "GET BACK!" Dio Hits Back after Johnathan's barrage of punches fails. "Get back" Jojo and Dio back at home. "Get Back Loretta" Dio embraces the stone mask. "AW GET BACK" Jojo and Erina riding on cart down slide. Music goes completely silent When Dio kisses Jojo's love interest Erina Pendleton. "Ohhh OWWW!" Dio poses!! "Get back loretta your mommy is waiting for you" Dio brags about how jojo was not her first kiss. "wearing her high heel shoes" jojo's shoe falls off. "and a low neck sweater" something similar to what Jojo would wear. "Get back home loretta" Dio and Jojo's father George watch Jojo outside from inside their home. "Get BAAAACK" Jojo yells out when danny bites his arm. Jojo then realizes Dio kissed Erina, so he went back home to confront Dio and fight him.

I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore by REO Speedwagon

Robert Speedwagon is a reference to the band REO Speedwagon, and his first appearance is set to one of their most famous rock ballads of all time, "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore"

"I can't fight this feeling any longer" Dio breaks into drawer to study stone mask. "What started out as friendship has grown stronger, I only wish I had the strength to let it show." Dio's fascination with the mask grows, but he is still hesitant to let others know about his feelings. "I tell myself I can't hold out forever" People weathering a snow storm. "I say there is no reason for my fears" Johnathan looks very confident here. "You give my life direction" Dio and Johnathan have both given each other something to live for, even though they are technically rivals and sworn enemies. "And Even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight" Speedwagon and gang approach. "You're a candle in a window" Johnathans head is shinings like a halo/candle "on a cold dark winters night" much like the weather that night in London, which is a dark night with snow covering the ground. "I'm getting closer" thug approaches Johnathan. "I cant fight this feeling anymore" Fight starts. "Throw away the oars forever" Possibly refering to Speedwagons hat. "Come crashing through your door" Johnathan has his hands guarding him like someone would crashing through something. "I cant fight this feeling anymore" Johnathan kicks Speedwagon and fight ends. "My life has been a whirlwind since I've found you" Dio's feelings for the mask, also he is drinking wine and could be dizzy/drunk " and It always seems I'm following you" Dio finds a test subject for the mask. "You take me to the places that alone I'd never find" Once the mask is one lights shine everywhere. "You're a candle in the window" shows Johnathan. I think to Speedwagon, Johnathan becomes his savior, his candle in the window. "Im getting closer than I ever thought I might" The mask is activating, Dio is stunned. "I can't fight" Dio kicks him on the ground even when he is not moving. "Ive forgotten what I started fighting for" Dio turns around and forgets that there is a Vampire behind him. "I cant fight this feeling" Dio cuts man with knife. "crawl upon the floor" Dio is overtaken by vampire and is lying on the floor. "Baby I cant fight this feeling anymore" Dio's blood is being taken, and it appears that he is done for, when the sun rises killing the vampire as the song ends.
