You'd think a fanfic couldn't actually have music, but mtnetsurfer not only decided to include openings and endings in the author's notes just for fun, he even released a YouTube playlist with said openings and endings. Find it here
.
- Naturally Phantom Blood gets "Destiny of the Blood", as well as "Roundabout" by Yes. You honestly can't have the first story without them.
- Battle Tendecy gets the jazzy "Bloody Stream", with another rendition of "Roundabout" to go with it.
- Steel Ball Run has something special. In keeping with the theme of it being a motorcycle race, the opening is portrayed as "Surprise Drive", originally the opening to Kamen Rider Drive. The ending is also awesome, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. While most well-know for its inclusion in Top Gun, the lyrics put it more at home in a story about a high octane adventure on the open road.
- Stardust Crusaders gets a one-two punch of epic, with "Stand Proud" for the journey to Egypt, and "End of the World" for the Egypt arc itself. Plus the appriopriate "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles for the first ending and "Last Train Home" by Pat Metheny for the second ending to complete the set.
- Even the gaiden stories get awesome openings. A Gentleman, A Thief, A King, and A Hero has "Oath Sign" for its opening, appropriate since it crosses over with Fate/Zero. But the ending? "Get Back" by The Beatles. The first verse is literally about a man named JoJo, so the song feels appropriate.
- Diamond is Unbreakable gives us the unforgettable trio of "Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town", "Chase", and "Great Days" as usual, with the ending being the smooth sounding "I Want You" by Savage Garden.
- Golden Wind features two epic openings with the fast-paced "Fighting Gold" and the tense yet epic "Traitor's Requiem". The first ending, "Freek'n You" by Jodeci, takes on a new meaning with the relationship between Giorno and Rarity. But then the second ending, "Modern Crusaders" by Enigma, just blows your mind.
- With Stone Ocean recently getting an official anime release, we now have the rocking opening "Stone Ocean" itself, and the pulse-pounding "Heaven's Falling Down". The ending is "Distant Dreamer" by Duffy, which takes on a new context with the reveal that Made in Heaven isn't able to reset the universe this time around, meaning the real bittersweetness is that the Joestar family's fight against evil is far from over.
- The new Spirit Tracks comes with a few epic ones. Being a crossover with Overlord, it naturally has "Clattanoia", "Go Cry Go", "Voracity", and "Hollow Hunger", each showing the increased desperation of the Unity Faction (the main villains of the story). But then we get the triumphant "Like Flames", from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime! The ending is the mellow "Africa" by Toto, giving the pleasant image of Ticket to Ride guiding the main heroes as adventurers across the alter verse. The flashback chapters are no slouch either. The main theme is "Enamel" from the "Book of Circus" arc of Black Butler. And the ending is even more awesome, "Everyday" by Bon Jovi, an appropriate tune considering in this series Jonathan Joestar, who features heavily in the flashback, lives all the way up to Stardust Crusaders chronologically.
- If you thought Jojolion would use Danganronpa openings due to the crossover, you have not read this fanfic. The first arc gives us the opening "Dance" from Persona 4: Dancing All Night, showing just how different the tone of the story is, while the ending is the jazzy "Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco, which fits the 1950s vibe Skullgirls offers. The second arc, crossing over with Dead Rising, gives us "Groovy" from Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. While not a scary song, it is Darker and Edgier, setting the tone for the second arc. The ending for the second arc, on the other hand, is "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Definitely an appropriate song, given its iconic zombie dance line from the music video. Finally, the third arc has the opening "Our Moment" from Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, showing the heartwarming reunion of Shuichi, Maki, and Himiko with an alternate version of their class. The ending is the more somber "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal, representing the struggle of the Sin Stand users to balance their sin with virtue and not fall to toxic influences.
- Phantom Thief Joker Part 1 has "Dying Wish" from Moriarty the Patriot. While the story is not nearly as dark as said manga, the song does perfectly encapsulate the shadowy world the titular Phantom Thief lives in, and Joker even gains the title "Lord of Crime" about halfway through the story. The ending theme is "The Light" by Disturbed, showing how even a criminal of darkness like Joker can shed light and hope on the world. Bonus points for there even being a Stand named The Light in the story. Phantom Thief Joker Part 2 has the same ending, but the opening is a big surprise, "Mixed Nuts" from Spy X Family. Perfect for Joker's new light-hearted take on the world now that he's partnered up with Violet, while still fitting the clandestine feel of the story.
- Cruel Angel's Thesis shows it has a way different tone with the opening, "Strike Back" from Fairy Tail, showing that while the stakes are still high, the pilots are real heroes that are not about to let the world end on their watch. And with the ending, "Heart of a Champion" by Hollywood Undead featuring Papa Roach and Ice Nine Kills, the idea that the pilots are always ready for action is clear.
- Stars Are Eternal, as a sequel to Diamond is Unbreakable, gives us the rocking "Magical Babyrinth" from Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, a fast-paced romp that matches "Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town". The ending is another epic song from Savage Garden, "To The Moon & Back".
- Phantom Thieves Origins starts with the opening "Make My Story" from My Hero Academia. An odd choice at first, but carefully listening to the lyrics shows that it does fit with how Strike Back wants to make their mark on the world. The ending feels more appropriate, "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson. A gritty yet fast-paced banger that perfectly fits in with the dark actions Strike Back takes at they strive to protect Tokyo from Remnant.
