JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run fans criticize Netflix’s new ending theme
The ending theme by Dr Luke sparks a fresh wave of backlash on Netflix’s social media.
Netflix sees its social media flooded with negative responses after the broadcast of the second episode of Steel Ball Run. Fans blame the platform for the new ending theme, produced by Dr Luke, which does not follow the series' musical tradition. Historically, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure closes its seasons with licensed J-pop or J-rock tracks abroad, often chosen for their fit with the story’s era. For the season set during an 1890 trans-continental horse race, they expected a period-appropriate rock or folk song, but episode 2 introduced Shinukaikiruka by Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba. The contrast triggered a wave of requests to replace the track, recalling the mobilization that had already pushed Netflix to release episodes weekly starting September 25. Source: What's on Netflix.
