JoJo Fans Demand Ending Theme Change Over Dr. Luke Credit

Netflix is encountering renewed criticism regarding the ending theme for STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure after viewers discovered producer Dr. Luke’s involvement in the track. The song, titled “Shinukaikiruka” by Yuki Chiba, debuted with Episode 2 on September 25. Official credits list Lukasz Gottwald as composer and Dr. Luke as producer, noting that both names refer to the same individual.

Initial backlash centered on the choice of a domestic artist rather than the licensed international tracks used in previous arcs. However, the controversy intensified when attention shifted to Dr. Luke’s history. Kesha previously accused him of sexual assault, leading to a legal dispute that concluded with a settlement in 2023 without either party admitting wrongdoing. Consequently, many fans are urging Netflix and Warner Bros. Japan to replace the outro specifically due to his production credit.
