LOS ANGELES - November 3, 2022 - On the heels of two recent collaborations this past summer, two-time Grammy®-nominated artist Steve Aoki has now achieved a “One Piece trifecta” with the tomorrow's release of his new track “Straw Hats Pirate Anthem – Steve Aoki Remix” on the original soundtrack for “One Piece Film Red,” which coincides with the new movie's U.S. & Canadian theatrical opening. This original remix, a blend of three opening themes from the anime series sung by Japanese artist Hiroshi Kitadani, marks Steve Aoki's third consecutive One Piece partnership with legendary anime studio Toei Animation. Toei Animation commissioned “Straw Hats Pirate Anthem – Steve Aoki Remix” as part of its celebration of “One Piece Film Red,” the 15th film from creator Eiichiro Oda in the franchise.
The “One Piece Film Red” Original Soundtrack from Avec will be available to fans as both a one-disc album (Japan only) and digital download starting November 4. The OST features 47 songs from the movie plus the special remix (“Straw Hats Pirate Anthem – Steve Aoki Remix”) – 48 tracks in total.
The trio of Hiroshi Kitadani album tracks included on “Straw Hats Pirate Anthem – Steve Aoki Remix” are “We Are!” (Columbia Music Entertainment, 1999), “We Go!” (avec pictures, 2011) and "OVER THE TOP” (avec pictures, 2019). The high intensity three-track combo gives fans an exciting adventure fueled by a combination of Aoki's non-stop creative energy and the power of One Piece's action-packed storytelling. Aoki weaves a soundtrack that twists and turns the remix to heart-racing highs with his signature style. The remix first premiered this past summer as a surprise drop during Toei Animation's “One Piece Film Red presents Steve Aoki Live” special event on July 4 weekend in Los Angeles.
“I'm so excited to be a part of the One Piece world and continue our collaborative partnership together,” says Aoki. “They are champions of the anime and manga world, and I hope fans can feel my excitement in this remix.”
Produced by Toei Animation and original creator Eiichiro Oda, “One Piece Film Red” is the 15th film based on “One Piece,” the top-selling manga title of all time about Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat pirates on their epic quest to find “One Piece,” the legendary treasure of the former King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger. Opening in theaters tomorrow, November 4, the highly anticipated movie “One Piece Film Red” will take audiences along on an all-new adventure with the Straw Hat pirates that delves deep into the mysterious character Shanks.
