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.
