“ONE PIECE FILM RED” is the latest film of “One Piece” that was released on August 6, 2022, where the original author Oda Eiichiro serves as a general producer and Taniguchi Goro (“Code Geass” series) as the director.
Set in the music island Elegia, the story begins with a shocking fact that Uta, who is the most beloved singer in the world, is a “daughter of Shanks”.
Uta, the world-famous singer that is key to this work, is voiced by Nazuka Kaori and Ado (when singing), which became a big topic. Furthermore, the songs in the film are popular such as the theme song “Shin Genesis” by Nakata Yasutaka and others by Mrs. Green Apple, Vaundy, Fake Type, Sawano Hiroyuki, Orisaka Yuta, and Hata Motohiro. The film has already earned 19 billion yen after 157 days from the release.
Some project to conclude “ONE PIECE FILM RED” is in progress for January 29, 2023, the last day of a movie.
