Sampling this classic, the track is filled with a funky groove and a sense of euphoria.
The lyrics also carry a positive message—“stand up and dance”—naturally lifting the listener’s spirits.

The choreography, created by shoji of the world-renowned dance performance group s**t kingz, is bursting with dynamism.
It perfectly captures that One Piece vibe—something you can enjoy with your crew while deepening your bonds.

With members taking turns to spit verses, the style won support not only from hip-hop fans but from a wide audience.

For those who want to capture the attention of the entire student body at a school or campus festival, we recommend Brother Beat.
