    Hey guys! Sorry if the camera gets blurry sometimes on this one.
    Apparently my autofocus has a problem detecting black people. AGAIN.
    -
    PS. This video took SO many days of work to make.
    Pretty sure it will be demonetized in an instant because it's anime music, so it was really only possible thanks to the Patreon supporters!
    I had a credits roll for them inside the video itself but I think something wrong happened in the export, so I'll write their names in the comment right under this:

    Let me just say as a choreographer, when one of my gymnasts said she wanted this as her floor music, I nearly screamed like a little girl! There are so many different layers for a choreographer to work with! It's a dream piece! It was one of the most fun routines I've ever made. The anime's poses just lend themselves to awesome unique choreography. You can almost hear the poses throughout the piece. The distortion sounds right before the piano I turned into a JoJo pose fest ( starting with Dio's signature lean back and ending with Jotaro's point). I like looking around at a meet when that JoJo yells out in the arena to see who all the anime-niacs are! To have people familiar and unfamiliar with the song just smile and enjoy the uniqueness of the music and poses is a testament to how epic this song is to hear. Plus it was a great excuse to slide in about 10 to 12 classic poses.

      Yugo Kanno does excellent work, and that's definitely one that I recognize and love. But the highlight for me in that series is 'Sono Juukou wa Seigi o Shihai suru' for the atmospheric presence that it brings into the dystopian, futuristic setting.

      Definitely glad of the memes of Jojo myself, while I never paid much attention to the manga or anime, the music always ended up getting played on my playlists from time to time, and I probably wouldn't have heard them if not for my Jojo friends or the memes.
      And Alex absolutely agree with you on Inochi no Arikata, the entire Psycho-Pass soundtrack is one I go back to, and actually recently started to rewatch the show too. May be onto something with Y Kanno's being something special.

    To me, this song is an astonishing Masterpiece. It has EVERYTHING.
    It's funky, it's catchy, it's epic, it's badass, it's grandiose.
    It has a banger melody, it has a guitar solo, it has funky synths, it has an amazing bass, it has a Sax solo, it has vocals, it has Angelic Choirs, it has a Piano solo, it has a Violin.
    How much can you add to a song?
    And absolutely no second of this is boring.

Trish's has so much elasticity. Abbacchio's sounds like an investigation and finally coming together. Before even adding to the sfx in the tracks to bring them all together.

    Always appreciate these insights, especially sandwiched in some great editing and extra work.
