I was BLOWN AWAY by this theme. It's absolutely crazy in all of the best ways! Which of the One Piece openings has been your favorite over the years?? Also, we've just added 48hrs to the Black Friday sale, so if you were considering picking up the entire course library at our biggest discount ever, this will be your last chance to do that!! As always, your support means the world to me, so thank you.
Japanese sound design is insane. They have stuff from insane game music to crazy anemie themes. Love that you're checking this out, keep pumping out the awesome content.
What I love about "We Are!" is that the whole song's composition just feels like expectation. All the chords feel like they're leading somewhere, and I'm just CHOMPING AT THE BIT to get where it's leading me.
Hearing those wild drums at the opening of the song REALLY gives me "Drums of Liberation" vibes, a theme that only debuted in the anime THIS LAST YEAR, 24 years later! One Piece don't miss, and One Piece don't forget!
As someone who’s up to date on One Piece, hearing the OG first opening always makes me tear up a little bit. It’s such a good song and it’s so nostalgic 😭
Just hearing you describe it, I think it matches the series itself perfectly. You're progressing from chord to chord (island to island), and you don't always know where you're gonna' end up, but it's always fun and exciting. Hiroshi Kitadana knew what they were doing when writing the perfect anthem for One Piece.
I would ascend to the highest realm if you covered "Overtaken" from the OST of this show. The direction the bass goes at the melody's new section/start of the melody's climax is maybe the best I've heard in music in general.
This song is so good it became the motif for the entire show! Time to say goodbye and sail off to a new adventure? This song kicks in without fail. Time to make the big bad look like a chump and swat them away like a fly after everything they put our heroes through? this song. Even when it normally wouldnt make sense for this song to work so well, it carries with it the weight of the journey and ALWAYS, without a doubt, makes the audience erupt in cheer.
Ah yes, the minor 251 or as gospel kats know it the 736. A lot of the Japanese go to chord progressions have roots in jazz but the instrumentation and catchy melodies make it “poppy” and accessible for broad audience. Great stuff!

You don't just teach the notes, you actually teach why they are the way they are, that's really valuable
If you skip this opening theme you're dead inside. IT´S SO PERFECT!
Hiroshi Kitadani also did two other openings for One Piece, "We Go" and "Over the Top", and they're also crazy good.
Me watching this pretending i know what he is talking about with a consistent head nod

I love how One Piece is becoming mainstream now. So many people are discovering this masterpiece
If you think this song was a joy, you should meet the main character. He's a real joy boy
Now you have to do binks sake
"We Are", "We Go" and "Over the Top" always give me goosebumps whenever they use their motifs in the show aside from the opening.
"We Are" is the perfect introduction to One Piece. It's adventurous and so full of energy!

One Piece has so many interesting pieces of music to be explored, I hope this becomes a series

The amount of enthusiasm that you show while explaining this song's structure is enchanting to me, I love One Piece so much
