Epic music and perfect cinematic experience
One Piece Film Red is set on the musical island of Elegia, where the world’s most popular diva Pirates – Uta holds his first live performance. The show attracted the attention of the world, and of course, Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates. Here, an unexpected truth is revealed: Uta is the daughter of red-haired Shanks – one of the legendary Yonko. Along with the melodies, conflicts and a dangerous plot are gradually exposed.
One Piece Film Red is the first film in the One Piece franchise to place a female character at the center of the story. The reason shared by author Eiichiro Oda is because he was… too tired of drawing male heroes. Along with the Straw Hat Pirates, the story of One Piece Film Red is strongly dominated by the heroine Uta, whose simple dream is to “bring happiness to everyone in the world”. But to fulfill that simple dream, Uta created a tragedy for all mankind.
For the first time in One Piece movie history, music will be the key element that makes up the entire story. In nearly two hours of the movie, Uta treated the audience with a total of 7 songs. The songs in the film are considered extremely catchy, and play an important role in the development of the plot and characters.
The One Piece Film Red soundtrack song series performed by singer Ado has stormed the music charts in Japan and around the world since its debut. Super hit New Genesis – the movie’s theme song became the first Japanese song to reach number one on Apple Music Global Chart.
It is thanks to this bold approach that One Piece Film Red is considered very easy to watch, even for audiences who have never followed the journey of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates before. Audiences can freely come to the cinema to enjoy the wonderful music-festival atmosphere that the film brings. In addition, the film still treats the “fans” with an extremely “burning” combat scene of the Straw Hat Pirates, along with the humorous details that have become the trademark of this series.

Shanks is the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, also one of the legendary Yonko, the rare person who possesses the strongest Conqueror Haki in the world. When meeting Luffy at Foosha village, Shanks saved his life and gave Luffy his straw hat and told the boy: “Come find and return this hat when you have become a great Pirate.” Since then, Shanks has become Luffy’s role model, as well as being respected by many fans of the One Piece series.
