You don't just teach the notes, you actually teach why they are the way they are, that's really valuable
-
Hiroshi Kitadani also did two other openings for One Piece, "We Go" and "Over the Top", and they're also crazy good.
-
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.
-
I love how One Piece is becoming mainstream now. So many people are discovering this masterpiece
-
If you skip this opening theme you're dead inside. IT´S SO PERFECT!
-
"We Are" is the perfect introduction to One Piece. It's adventurous and so full of energy! "We Go" is the returning opening after the timeskip and my favourite theme! It captures the same spirit of "We Are" in a completely different way.
-
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 😭
-
"We Are", "We Go" and "Over the Top" always give me goosebumps whenever they use their motifs in the show aside from the opening.
-
One Piece has so many interesting pieces of music to be explored, I hope this becomes a series
-
Me watching this pretending i know what he is talking about with a consistent head nod
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The amount of enthusiasm that you show while explaining this song's structure is enchanting to me, I love One Piece so much
-
The call back to this theme in the resolution scene with Sanji and Luffy during the Whole Cake arc hit like a Tsunami. Just elevated the whole thing from epic to legendary. The manga is amazing. But the soundtrack work in the anime is like adding just the right wine to an amazing meal. Elevates and gives it so much more impact.
-
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!
-
The best thing about your channel, is that you cover such a wide range of music, from Gershwin to Undertale to One Piece. It's perfect, as it appeals to a large audience, and also gets them interested in the other music you analyze too!
-
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.
