JoJo's Bizarre Adventure used Roundabout, the 1971 track by the English progressive rock band Yes, as its ending theme in the first two parts of the anime. Episodes closed with a freeze and a To Be Continued graphic as the song played. Around 2016 the format spread far beyond anime fans on Vine, YouTube and social media, with creators recreating the freeze and arrow over their own clips. It remains a shorthand for a moment cut off at the worst possible time.
À propos de ce son
The To Be Continued sound from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure using Yes Roundabout, played when an episode ends on a cliffhanger or awkward freeze frame.
This is the iconic ending sting from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, built around the opening of Roundabout by Yes. The music starts as a calm, looping progressive rock riff, then the picture freezes just as something embarrassing, painful or unexpected happens. A bold To Be Continued arrow slides in, cutting the moment short before any resolution. That sudden stop is the joke, turning an ordinary fail or awkward pause into a dramatic cliffhanger. Viewers instantly recognise the setup and expect the story to pick up next time, even when it never does.
