Destructive Power: A. Speed: A. Range: A. Precision: A. Durability: A. Potential: A. B-Ballin’: Infinite

You know, admiring the music is fine, I suppose, but the effort put into the visuals in this video is the impressive part here. I didn’t even know there would be this many pictures to pull from to make all of this. Then there’s Polnareff going for the side throw. I think I want to say I’m surprised.

And just for completion’s sake.

And I said I would post this when it came up, so have that too.

“Stand Proud” Full Version Now Available

That was fast. One of the Tumblr’s got their hands on the full version of “Stand Proud.” There’s no download link, but it does seem to be the real full version. The verses change and there’s a bridge and everything. You might be a little disappointed because it follows a very standard song progression, but it sounds so good.

You can listen to that here.

“Stand Proud” Single and “Stand Up Guide” Release Dates

That was fast. Araki-JoJo has already tweeted the release date of the “Stand Proud” single. It will be released April 23rd. Not even ten whole days. That’s nice to know, both because I want to hear the full version of the song, and also because it’s just more reason to be ready for there to be more OP. When it’s ready, you shouldn’t be able to get it through Animelo.

But that’s not everything. We’re also already getting a guidebook to the anime: “Stand Up Guide.” According to a tweet by UltraJump, where this picture comes from, it will include a roundtable discussion by the cast, interviews with the staff, and post-recording reports among other things they haven’t told us yet. This one is going on sale on the 19th, just four days away. We’ll probably get another one of these too by the time the show has really gotten going.

Stardust Crusaders OP Song “Stand Proud” by Jin Hashimoto Announced and Release Date!

The Stardust Crusaders Anime OP has been announced! And only announced in this little magazine page. The singer for the song “Stand Proud” is going to be Jin Hashimoto.

By getting the guy who did one ED and five insert songs for Kamen Rider Kuuga, these two inserts for Kamen Rider Agito, and a bunch of other Rider songs, I think they might be going for a certain sound. The little blurb mentions something about making it something of a Jotaro image song. I wonder how that’ll work out.

Also, the full version of the song will be released pretty early on. Wednesday, April 23rd. I think we can bank on that that there will probably be more than one OP. Maybe the second one will be about Dio.
