    I think we can all agree on the fact that We Are! has become an hymn.

    「今度会えたなら話すつもりさ それからのこととこれからのこと」 なんてことないこの言葉にワンピースの冒険が一気に思い出されていつも切なくなる
  • More than 20 years but he still maintain the voice..this is what we call singer!!
  • @user-bn1fd9ef6w
    イントロで自然に「富、名声、力…」のナレーションと大塚周夫さんの声が脳内に再生される。
  • @lightnix9188
    Seeing how enthusiastic he was in this video from singing a song from '99, such power and passion, truly a timeless piece of music.
  • @Erhaa11
    "we are!" never dissapoints, true legend
  • @yamabikoexvs
    コーラスとか一切ないのに1人の歌声でこんなに満足感あるのすごい
  • @rosechandayo_
    his voice did not change at all. i like that he did not add any unnecessary adlibs and just followed the original style. the band did so great too!!
  • @kohina2170
    「ポケットのコイン それとyou wanna be my friend?」って歌詞が何も持たずにただ冒険に出るんだ!って感じで真っさらな物語の始まりの雰囲気があって大好き 今の麦わらの一味を思うと長い冒険でいろんなものと出会って、そして別れたねえ……って泣きそうになる

    The girls on bass and violin are the best. Many thanks to everyone who participated, legend.
  • I'm 33 years old. Always wanted to watch One Piece, but it was not available to me when I was younger. Now, I'm watching it with my wife and it's funny, emotional and beautiful.
  • @FreedomMaple
    One of the most iconic opening in history, more than 20 years in the making and still delivers to this day, what a legend.
  • @user-ds2hc6yw6f
    きただにさん含め、バンドメンバーの皆さんが男女比や髪型、髪色、シルエットとかいろんな部分にそこはかとなく麦わらの一味を感じられるのが凄く良い
