A Slice of PeachKensuke Ushio

This is a track that colors the world of the hit anime Dandadan, which depicts intense battles with ghosts and aliens as well as a bittersweet romance.
The music is by Kensuke Ushio, known for works like Chainsaw Man and A Silent Voice.
It’s included on the album Dan Da Dan (Original Series Soundtrack), released in December 2024.
The piece is marked by a heartbeat-like pulsing beat and melodious synth tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia.
Thanks to a sound design that seamlessly blends the thrill of an unpredictable story with the sparkle of the protagonists’ youth, it’s a song that fills you with excitement just by listening.
It’s recommended not only for fans of the story but also for anyone who wants to add some color to their everyday life.
For this planetLyrics: Hideki Kuroda / Music: Tatsuro Kondo / Performed by: Kazami

This song, with a melody reminiscent of a nostalgic TV commercial jingle, was used as an in-anime track for Dandadan.
It delivers a passionate, forward-looking message, like that of a corporate warrior fighting for this planet.
Lyricist Hideki Kuroda and composer Tatsuro Kondo are the duo behind a 1989 commercial song that became a social phenomenon.
In episode 10, which aired in December 2024, the track played as a faux commercial jingle that propelled the story’s momentum.
Combined with the sprightly performance by DaizyStripper’s Kazami, the result is a sound that fuses nostalgia with a contemporary rock feel.
Paired with the anime’s comical scenes, it’s a track that doubles the work’s playful spirit.
THE HERO !!JAM Project

JAM Project’s song used as the opening theme for the popular anime One-Punch Man showcases their prowess with a powerful vocal performance that belies their age and an energetic melody.
It matches the series perfectly and is a high-quality piece of work.
Jungle P5050

This is a song by the eight-member band 5050, used as the opening theme for the TV anime One Piece.
Its irresistibly bright, ska-based sound alone lifts your spirits and fills you with excitement for the grand adventure that’s about to begin.
The lyrics express the thrill of a sweeping journey across the world’s seas and a spirit of curiosity that drives one to challenge the unknown.
Released as a single in November 2007, the track accompanied episodes 326 through 372 of the anime.
You can practically picture Luffy and his crew confronting hardships with the strength of their bonds.
It’s a perfect song not only for boosting your mood on a drive, but also as an anthem to cheer you on when taking a new step forward.
Utakata LullabyAdo

A song by Ado written by FAKE TYPE.
as an in-film track for ONE PIECE FILM RED.
Released in August 2022, it’s included on the album “Uta no Uta ONE PIECE FILM RED.” The story is well known that Eiichiro Oda requested “a quirky, brainwashing kind of song,” and the result delivers with an exceptionally crazy, dark worldview.
The song’s biggest draw is undoubtedly its machine-gun-like rapid-fire rap and psychedelic sound.
The ultra-technical vocals—so challenging that Ado herself reportedly struggled—are simply stunning, and despite the title meaning a gentle lullaby, they brilliantly portray Uta’s madness and the charismatic pull she exerts over people.
It’s the perfect track when you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of the film.
OVER THE TOPHiroshi Kitadani

Sung by Hiroshi Kitadani, who worked on the very first opening theme “We Are!,” this is an irresistible track for fans.
Released as a single in September 2019, it was reportedly written as the opening theme for the Wano Country arc of the TV anime One Piece.
This song is a high-energy, fast-paced number that portrays the protagonist’s spirit of pressing forward and believing in oneself no matter the hardship.
There’s even an anecdote that Kitadani poured so much passion into the recording that he worked up a heavy sweat, and just listening to it fills you with courage.
I wholeheartedly recommend this piece as an anthem that will push the backs of those who want to overcome challenges and break through their limits!
Crazy RainbowTackey & Tsubasa

It feels like the acceleration is painting a vivid rainbow! The duo Tackey & Tsubasa, formed by Hideaki Takizawa and Tsubasa Imai, released this song as their eighth single in 2007.
It was the opening theme for the beloved anime One Piece.
With a powerful message that makes you feel like you can break through even the reality before your eyes, and an up-tempo sound that signals the start of an adventure, it’s absolutely thrilling! The song reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, and in episode 303 of the anime, the two even make a humorous cameo within the story.
It’s the perfect number for taking a new step with your friends or when you want to lift your spirits.
