Comments: The 1st opening theme (and official theme) to the shounen pirate anime ONE PIECE. Basically, the whole song defines this anime. The lyrics are all about pirate fights and friendship, while the music is cheery (remind you of the happy fun-loving times the Straw Hat pirates are having). A great start to a great anime.

Comments: An upbeat song which is sung by the composer himself. Well, his voice is not too bad, even though he doesn't sing really much. Coupled with the opening sequences, it really bring you into the anime.

Comments: A really catchy song which is very well coupled with the opening sequences. Great voices too, by the two anison singers who have been singing tokusatsu and super robot songs all along. There's some puns in there so that the song rhymes, but it's so bad that it doesn't make any sense. Currently hooked to this song. :D
