Roundabout is the name of the first ending of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Anime. The song is a popular single by British progressive rock band Yes.

Version 1 Ending (Episode 2-9)

The ending shows an aztec-like mural, a man wearing the stone mask is stabbing a woman in an altar. A blood stream starts to fall and continue to follow his way while the screen scrolls horizontally to the left, as the song sounds. While the blood flows in the murals,standing images of the characters featured in the episode are showed. Another mural showing the vampire transformation and the sun killing the vampire are showed. Finally the blood reach the Stone Mask, which starts to move and its eyes holes began glowing in red.

First Version of the Ending as showed on the first chapter.

Version 2 Ending (Episode 11-?)

The second version of the ending is similar to the first in the fashion but in this version the scrolling is going up vertically.This version also has a shadow effect as the viewer is searching the mural with a flashlight. The ending began with the stone mask glowing in gold and breaking in pieces.As the stone mask dissappear a vampire-like creature is showed as his life was absorbed by.The screen scrolls up and the mural features a group of men admiring the stone mask. Standing images of Jonathan and Joseph appears, and then the mural shows images of the four Pillar Men. A standing image of Speedwagon in his younger years began to age to show his Battle Tendency appearance. The ending ends showing the Red Stone of Aja on the mural.

English Lyrics
I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out I'll spend the day your way... Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley... The music dance and sing They make the children really ring I'll spend the day your way Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley... In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you... I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distance atmosphere... Call it morning driving through the sound and even in the valley... In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they Stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and Laughing too ooo oo oo Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching Down on the land Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees The rim of the land The eagle's dancing wings create as weather Spins out of hand Go closer hold the land feel partly no more Than grains of sand We stand to lose all time a thousand answers By in our hand Next to your deeper fears we stand Surrounded by million years I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out... In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there Twenty four before my love and I'll be There... I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out We spend the day your way Call it morning driving through the sound and In and out the valley... eh In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they Stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and Laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be There with you Da da da da daaa da da (x 8)
