The popular anime "ONE PIECE," based on the work of Eiichiro Oda, has announced news for its new "Egghead Arc." The opening theme titled "Aaaasss!" is sung by Hiroshi Kitadani, and the ending theme "Dear Sunrise" by Maki Otsuki. This is a nostalgic reunion, as both artists were part of the original music team for the series 25 years ago.
Starting January 7, 2024, the two iconic musicians will return to the world of "ONE PIECE" in the "Egghead Arc" on Fuji TV. Kitadani's "Aaaasss!" was written by Shouko Fujibayashi, who also penned the original theme "We Are!," and composed by Kouhei Tanaka. Otsuki's "Dear Sunrise" echoes the first ending theme "Memories" and encapsulates the 25-year history of the series.
Kitadani describes his song as "THE Surume-Song," which grows on you with every listen. Otsuki expressed her affection and gratitude for the Straw Hat Crew, explaining that the song is titled "Dear Sunrise" to reflect these feelings and commemorate the 25 years since their shared debut.
The announcement was made during the "ONE PIECE" event at "Jump Festa 2024," held on December 17 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. The stage event also officially introduced the characters for the "Egghead Arc," including Dr. Vegapunk (voiced by Yohei Tadano), Shaka (Shuhei Sakaguchi), Lilith (Aya Hirano), Edison (Ryoko Shiraishi), Pythagoras (Tokai Onishi), Atlas (Akane Kumada), and York (Mutsumi Tamura).
