Change the ending theme of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind to Gangsta's Paradise


Change the ending theme of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind to Gangsta's Paradise
The Issue
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is an manga and anime series that follows the adventures of various members of the Joestar family. Each new protagonist has their own plot line, and these plot lines are divided into separate story arcs, called "Parts". The anime adaptation is notorious for using Western songs (as in from America and Europe) as the theme of the ending credits. In fact, you might even recognize one of them, as it became a popular meme. In the years and months leading to the release of the anime adaptation of Part 5, which focuses on a boy who dreams of entering Italy's mafia and becoming a "Gang-Star", fans had been expecting to see the song "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio as the new ending theme. It made sense. The lyrics fit thematically, the song was released around the same time that Part 5 takes place, and the creator of the series had said that he listened to quite a bit of rap music while writing Part 5. However, we were disappointed. Instead of "Gansta's Paradise", we got a song called "Freek'n You" by Jodeci, whose lyrics begin with "Every time I close my eyes / I wake up feeling so horny". This song does not fit the Part at all, and is frankly inappropriate. Please, help us get the song that Part 5 deserves. Thank you.
