"Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town" is the first opening theme song of Diamond is Unbreakable and the fifth overall opening theme of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. The song is performed by the group THE DU, consisting of Jun Shirota, Taisuke Wada, and Jeity. They created the band particularly to perform the song.

"Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town" was written by Saori Codama, composed by Kazusou Oda (Coda), and arranged by MACARONI☆. The single was released on April 27, 2016.

Opening Animation

JOJO OP5 Illustration 1.gif

On a darkly lit stage littered with "JoJo" signs and illuminated by multiple multi-colored lights, Josuke Higashikata, Koichi Hirose, Okuyasu Nijimura and Jotaro Kujo all stand together as the scene pans around them. Colorful pop-art portraits of the foursome flash by before cutting back to the stage as all four reach their hands up towards the ceiling as confetti flies about, with their poses highly reminiscent of the widely-recognizable Saturday Night Fever pose.

The scenery then changes shots of Morioh as silhouettes of all the Stand users in Morioh flash by at blinding speed. The scene then changes to an aerial view of Japan as the camera zooms into Morioh, with the view quickly descending through clouds and towards the ground. The logo then appears, flashing before breaking into many pieces.

The scenery changes yet again to Josuke walking on the street surrounded by people and street signs, which reference different Stands and plot points throughout the Part. The scene zooms onto Josuke who turns to the left as the scene changes to focus on Koichi. Koichi, surrounded by green and purple backdrops, looks around nervously as the scene zooms out: revealing his shadow to be that of Yukako Yamagishi gazing at him. The scene then switches to Okuyasu, who is knelt on the ground next to a soft-drink can. Once again, the scene zooms out to reveal Okuyasu's shadow as that of his brother, Keicho Nijimura aiming the Bow and Arrow before morphing into their father. However, unlike with Koichi, these shadowing figures disappear as Okuyasu slowly stands up before kicking the can which leads into a transition of a picture of Josuke on the can, possibly referencing the battle with Atom Heart Father.

The can rotates clockwise before transitioning into Josuke walking down his home street as disco lights illuminate him. Josuke strikes a pose, leading to Crazy Diamond appearing from his side as diamond-sparkles fill the scene. The scenery changes to Koichi running down a separate street with disco lights shining on the pavement. Koichi also strikes a pose, yet his Stand does not appear which references the fact he has not yet obtained his Stand by this point. Colorful ripples then change the scenery to feature Okuyasu strolling down a sidewalk. He then leans backwards, which prompts The Hand to appear from his opposite side; mirroring the pose he's in. The scene zooms into them both before breaking apart to reveal Jotaro standing by himself. Jotaro then strikes his trademark pointing pose, with Star Platinum appearing from his side, mimicking him. As multiple colorful ripples dot across the scene, the scenery suddenly pans out and upwards towards the sky.

The scene transitions into a map of Morioh, with Josuke, Koichi, Okuyasu, Toshikazu Hazamada, Tamami Kobayashi, Yukako and Tonio Trussardi all dancing along to the song. Jotaro himself appears last and smiles rather than dance as the scene then changes to feature only Crazy Diamond. Crazy Diamond punches the background, destroying it and reforming it as an entirely new background. The Hand then appears and uses its power to erase the background completely.

The scenery then changes to feature Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi all standing on the streets on Morioh; staring at a building complex. Josuke then turns around with a stoic expression on his face as the others turn with him. The scene then pans out as the trio gaze upon the town of Morioh in its entirety from atop a hill. The scene then focuses towards the sky itself before immediately cutting to Josuke, Okuyasu, Koichi and Jotaro all striking a pose in front of a colorful background.

Altered Versions

The Opening, starting from Toshikazu Hazamada (Surface) and onwards includes Koichi's Stand, Echoes. Koichi now poses with Echoes ACT 1, which produces the word MYSTERY, in green. Colorful ripples (or the word created by Echoes, after "Koichi Hirose (Echoes)") then change the scenery to feature Okuyasu strolling down a sidewalk. Later on, after The Hand appears to erase the screen, Echoes ACT1 manifests itself on the wall behind The Hand.

In "Yukako Yamagishi Is in Love (1)" and "Yukako Yamagishi Is in Love (2)", "Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town (EDM Arrangement ver.)" is used in lieu of the normal music. The opening credits were accordingly modified to reflect the usage.

English Translation

すれ違ってく 顔のない視線
胸の穴が 変えてった日常
境界なんてなく出会う アタリマエの奇妙 U-yeh,

Surechigatteku kao no nai shisen
Mune no ana ga kaetetta nichijō
Kyōkai nante naku deau atarimae no kimyō U Yea!

There are faceless gazes passing by
The hole in my heart changed my daily life
No limit to ordinarily bizarre encounters - Oh yeah!

Japanese Kanji
Japanese Rōmaji
English Translation

いつもどおりの朝が うわっ面で笑う
正体不明のままに 惹かれあう Mystery
はじまりも言わず じっと潜んでる、この町のどこか

Itsumo dōri no asa ga uwatsura de warau
Shōtai fumei no mama hikareau misuterī
Hajimari mo iwazu jitto hisonderu kono machi no dokoka

Just like any other morning with a smile on my face
I'm drawn to unidentified mysteries
Without giving away its origin, it's lurking somewhere in this town

だけど今日も上々に 文句なんか言いあって

But today again we'll complain to each other
Dancing the day away in this Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town

しなる弓が妖しく占う つらぬく矢で試す可能性
了解なんてない 生まれる才能に聞くんだ U-yeh,

Shinaru yumi ga ayashiku uranau tsuranuku ya de tamesu kanōsei
Ryōkai nante nai umareru sainō ni kikunda U Yea,

A flexible bow eerily foretells of possibilities to be tried by a piercing arrow
Can't understand it, ask the ability born within you - oh yeah,

Japanese Kanji
Japanese Rōmaji
English Translation

臆病を確信は 沈黙を破る
身勝手なくらいに 結ばれる Destiny
すぐ傍にいるぜ じっと目を凝らす、この町の気配

Okubyō wo kakushin wa chinmoku wo yaburu
Migatte na kurai ni musubareru Desutinī
Sugu soba ni iru ze jitto me wo kogorasu, kono machi no kehai

Cowardly convictions will break the deafening silence
Because of our Destiny that is tied so selfishly
Around the corner lurking your senses better sharpen for that presence in this town

Japanese Kanji
Japanese Rōmaji

Trivia

  • This is the first JoJo opening song not made by Kamikaze Douga, instead opting for traditional animation.
  • As Josuke walks down the street, different street-signs can be spotted. The designs include: the town emblem of Morioh, a dollar sign similar to the ones on Okuyasu's uniform, the skull from Yoshikage Kira's tie, Rohan's pen nib, "Crazy Diamond JOJO" with peace signs and a heart with Jotaro's "hand emblem" in the middle; as well as signs with both "Ora Ora" and "Dorarara" in katakana.
  • Although hinting at characters and events throughout Part 4, the initial airing of this opening only shows characters through the "Let's Go Out for Italian" arc. In addition, it does not reveal Koichi Hirose's eventual Stand until the episode after it awakens in the battle against The Lock (despite showing both Okuyasu and The Hand prior to their revelation in the story).
  • During the song's chorus where the characters are shown dancing, Tamami prematurely appears (as if out of nowhere) walking into the montage in the first edition of the opening. After the opening alteration which introduced Koichi's Stand, this mistake was fixed by having him walk into the scene naturally from offscreen.
