The names of the racers in Part 7 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run, are a treasure trove of music references, but in fact, there are hidden references in the stage names as well.

Stage 8, “Both Sides Now,” is said to be based on the timeless classic Both Sides, Now, written and composed by the great Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell—a wonderfully subtle nod, to say the least.

Some may recognize it better by its Japanese title, “Seishun no Hikari to Kage” (Light and Shadows of Youth).

Incidentally, the first person to sing the song was Judy Collins, and it was included on her 1967 album Wildflowers.

In the mid-1960s, with the Beatles’ break into the American market, electric instruments began to be used in folk music, which had previously been dominated by the upright bass, acoustic guitars, and banjos.

Music created with such instruments came to be called “folk rock.” The Canadian folk singer Joni Mitchell is known as a musician who embraced folk rock.

Even so, her voice, accompanied by piano or acoustic guitar in intimate solo performances, is beautiful, delivering simple folk songs with elegant brilliance.

The song “Woodstock” is about the legendary music event, the Woodstock Festival, held in 1969.
