One Piece Music
As has become typical of long-running youth-oriented
anime, One Piece has gone through a long succession of theme songs,
performed by popular artists, since its debut on television. Though performed
by popular singers and bands, most seem to be written specifically for the
show, as nearly all of them reference treasure, the sea, or ships in some way.
As of October 2011, there have been 15 opening themes, 18 regular ending
themes, and a number of film- and special endings as well. Soundtrack CDs
released in Japan also include a large number of "image songs" based
on the series, performed either by cast members in character, or by theme song
artists. 4Kids' dub of the series has stripped the opening and ending music of
all episodes in favor of a "more catchy, kid-friendly" version. This
"One Piece Rap" (as it is infamously known) keeps the music basically
the same throughout each of the episodes (with one or two edits here and there
with each new member of the crew). During the show, there has also been
recognizable music play in the background (like Dvorak's New World
Symphony, Schubert's Ave Maria andBeethoven's Ode to Joy).
