"I Want You" is a 1996 single by the Australian pop group Savage Garden from their 1997 self-titled debut album. It was used as the ending theme of the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Ending Description

The ending animation begins with the Arrow slowly panning across the scene as dim lights slowly flash. With the final flash, the Arrow is replaced by Josuke's pointing hand as the scene continues panning upwards to his face. Josuke then smiles and turns before striking a pose with both of his hands above his head. The scenery changes as an outline of Josuke becomes the night sky, with a disco-light shaped heart in the middle. The scene slowly zooms into the heart, which fades away into the streets of Morioh.

The scenery continues down a cul-de-sac, with Jotaro, Ryohei and Tomoko Higashikata all standing around it. The scene then continues into the Morioh Train Station, with an advertisement billboard for the Cinderella Beauty Salon inside. A train passes by, transitioning into Morioh Town Square. The scenery continues down the street, leading past Yukako, Tamami and Toshikazu standing in front of Ghost Alley. As the shot further continues down the road, Okuyasu and Keicho Nijimura stand outside the abandoned house they made into their home. The scene then moves past the famous Anjuro Rock and transitions to Josuke, wearing a necklace with two houses attached to it as the road winds and weaves into obscurity.

The scene then cuts quickly to close-up shots of Josuke singing along to the song before zooming into one of the house's windows. Inside the home is a panicked Koichi, along with his mother and Yukako behind him suspended in the air, along with broken furniture and flowers. The scenery continues through the home and into a hallway, which resembles a hospital's. This fades into a dark tunnel made up of shipping creates with multiple arrows inside. The scenery finally changes to feature a pier and lighthouse, with Joseph's yacht docked outside it. Zooming into the lighthouse's lamp reveals it to be a peace sign, leading into the scenery becoming filled with reflections of Josuke in a diamond. The scene then pans out to reveal the diamond being in the center of a large, golden "J"; with a heart on the left and Killer Queen's skull on the right.

English Lyrics

Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

Come stand a little bit closer
Breath in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you

Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out

I'm the kind of person who endorses
a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect
is what I live for
But a look, then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for

Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and
a mate,
But the time of talking,
using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver
who is swimming with a raincoat

Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you

Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

So can we find out?

Full Song

  • The band Savage Garden was previously used in an arc name in part 6.
