Her smash hit “Born This Way” appears as the name of the Stand belonging to Yasuho Hirose in Part 8 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion.

While JoJo’s Western music references are often associated with hard rock and progressive rock, Part 8 draws inspiration from a wide range of genres, including modern pop artists like Lady Gaga and Rihanna.

This breadth reflects Araki-sensei’s tastes and makes it all the more fascinating.
