Coming on The First Take for the first time, Hiroshi Kitadani performed the iconic ONE PIECE opening theme song “We Are!” The channel is dedicated to shooting musicians and singers performing in a single take, and the recognizable singer’s task was no different. They previously featured many famous artists, such as YOASOBI, LiSA, QUEEN BEE, Masayuki Suzuki, VIVID VICE, among others. Check out Hiroshi Kitadani’s performance below.
Besides the very first ONE PIECE opening “We Are!” which he performs here, he performed several other songs for the anime. They are:
The last one is of course the most recent opening for the Egghead Island arc, “ASSU.” The anime also brought back Maki Otsuki to perform the latest ending, and she was also in charge of the first one. The new songs were announced at December’s Jump Festa 2024 event, along with the voice actors for Vegapunk and his satellites. THE ONE PIECE remake by WIT STUDIO was also announced at the event.
Episode 1090 preview is available, and the anime will continue on January 14. Meanwhile, the ONE PIECE manga is on a break and chapter 1104 will release on January 21. You can watch the anime on Crunchyroll, while you can catch up to the latest manga chapter for free on either the VIZ website or the MANGA Plus website.
To make January even bigger for the ONE PIECE fans, the MONSTERS: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation prequel episode about Ryuma is coming to Netflix this month!
