"BLOODY STREAM"[1] is the song played during the second opening of the first season of the anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, when the story revolves around Joseph Joestar in the Battle Tendency story arc. It marks a clear splits with the first arc - Phantom Blood, whose opening song "JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~" was very solemn and serious - with a groovy jazz vibe reflecting Joseph's more lighthearted attitude compared to his ancestor Jonathan.
The song is composed by Toshiyuki O'mori with lyrics by Saori Kodama and performed by Kazusō "Coda" Oda, former lead singer of the Japanese rock band No Regret Life, and marks his solo debut. Coda would later return to perform two other opening for the anime, "JoJo Sono Chi no Kioku ~end of THE WORLD~" and a special version of "Great Days", alongside other former opening singers respectively under the respective handles of JO☆STARS and JO☆UNITED.
"BLOODY STREAM" was used during Bean Mourning Day to post purposefully terrible JoJo rips onto the channel, in an effort to annoy the subset of SiIvaGunner fans that had been constantly asking for more JoJo rips. Why this track in particular was chosen over any other track from JoJo remains unknown.
The first two "BLOODY STREAM" rips predate Bean Mourning Day, but are normal mashups. During the event, intentionally bad rips of the track (such as unsynced mashups) were published alongside other rips. Some extra rips were released later, leading up to the release of JOEJOE'S BIZZAERE JOJOKE, an album focused on intentionally bad JoJo rips. Of the 13 "BLOODY STREAM" rips released during Season 1, 9 of them appeared in this album.
After the Season 1 Finale, the usage of "BLOODY STREAM" for intentionally bad rips was discontinued, and it has since received 10 rips.

Shijima no soko kara mezameru sono hashiratachi toki wo koe
Shinku no chishio ga tachiagaru yuuki wo hikiawaseru
Uketsugu ai wo sadame to yobu nara
Hohoemu me de tsugi no te wo
Yami wo azamuite setsuna wo kawashite
Yaiba surinuke yatusra no suki wo tsuke
Tsuranuita omoi ga mirai wo hiraku
Like a Bloody Storm atsuku Like a Bloody Stone
Ketsumyaku ni kizamareta innen ni
Ukiagaru kienai hokori no kizuna nigirishimete
Minagiru chikara ni uchitsukeru kodou wa akashi tomo no koe
Nijinda itami to ima ikinuku imi wo kawashi nagara
Omae no ishi ga yoake wo michibiku
Mabayui hodo no kedakasa de
Hikari sasu oka e shakunetsu no sora e
Tamashii ga butsukariau tabiji e
Kanashimi ni nurareta mirai wo sukue
Like a Bloody Soul moyase Like a Bloody Star
Honoo saki kaze wo tachi sono saki e

Ukiagaru kienai hokori no kizuna nigirishimete
