I Want You
A Limited Edition of Savage Garden's second greatest hits album, "The Singles" was released in Japan on May 25th 2016 to promote the anime, featuring a picture of Josuke on the cover.
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; along with the shadows of Reimi Sugimoto and Arnold. 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 is likely the school hallway where Shigechi meets his fate. 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.
Altered Versions
Starting from DU Episode 14 onwards, during the hallway sequence a copy of Shonen Jump with Pink Dark Boy on the cover appears out of thin air. The manga opens up to reveal Rohan Kishibe illustrating some pages as the camera zooms in on his bookshelf, which contains past works from Hirohiko Araki such as Baoh: The Visitor and Cool Shock B.T.. For a split second, in a gap between some books Bug-Eaten can be seen hiding before the camera transitions down the hallway and into the shipping crates as normal. The scenery then changes to the pier and lighthouse, this time featuring Akira Otoishi playing his guitar and Joseph Joestar holding Shizuka Joestar in his arms.
Later on starting from DU Episode 18, Shigekiyo Yangu appears before Rohan and the Pink Dark Boy sequence in the school's hallway, foreshadowing his fate. At the end of the song when Josuke appears in the diamond lighthouse's reflection, he disappears halfway through only to be replaced by Yoshikage Kira (post face-change) smiling in his trademark suit.

Anytime I need to see your face, Come stand a little bit closer Ooh, I want you I'm the kind of person who endorses Conversation has a time and place Come stand a little bit closer Anytime I need to see your face, I don't need to try and explain; So can we find out? | ||

Trivia
- The symbols on the "J" emblem are icons that define several characters and themes in Part IV, including: Josuke's heart pin from his jacket, the hand from Jotaro's hat, a diamond and number "4" referencing the title, and the skull emblem featured on Yoshikage Kira's tie and Killer Queen's belt.
- As the scene goes down the school hallway towards the end, outside the windows large crop-circles are visible; a clear reference to Mikitaka Hazekura.
- The band Savage Garden was previously used in the name of an arc along with a carrier pigeon in Part VI.
- In a tweet, Darren Hayes, a member of Savage Garden was more than happy to license their song for the anime, admiring the JoJo series in general.
