The TV special "One Piece Heroines" has received a new preview video. It features the first listen of the theme song "Blue Shining Star," performed by singer Aina the End. The special episode will air on July 5, 2026, at 11:15 PM on Fuji Television in Japan and will run for only one night.
The special is based on the short story "episode: NAMI" from the novel series "One Piece novel HEROINES" by Jun Esaka, originally published in "One Piece Magazine." The plot reveals a side of the heroine Nami not seen in the main series. Additionally, the adaptation includes original elements, such as an appearance by Nico Robin.
Nami buys a pair of shoes, but they are poorly made and cause her pain. When she tries to return them, she meets the designer Rubno. He suggests she participate in a fashion show if he arranges for the shoes to be repaired. The repair is handled by the shoemaker Miucha.
The director is Yu Kamatani, the character design is by Takashi Kojima, and the script was written by Momoka Toyoda. The main roles are voiced by established voice actors Akemi Okamura (Nami), Yuriko Yamaguchi (Robin), Maaya Sakamoto (Miucha), and Takehito Koyasu (Rubno).
The theme song "Blue Shining Star" was written and composed by Aina the End together with music producer Ryosuke "Dr.R" Sakai. The singer describes the song as "a rhythmic, danceable track that deals with overcoming life's difficulties and the strength of women." The song will be released digitally on major streaming platforms on July 1, 2026.
The preview video shows clips from the special, accompanied by the catchy sounds of the theme song. "One Piece Heroines" is another spin-off project that puts the female characters of the series in the spotlight.
