Japanese Rock Band I Don’t Like Mondays. Release Paint, the New Theme Song for the One Piece Anime

Posted on by Lesley Aeschliman

“PAINT” the new theme tune to long-running anime series One Piece by Japanese rock group I Don’t Like Mondays., is available as a digital-only single now, following its release on January 9, 2022.

This is the first ever anime tie-up for I Don’t Like Mondays. The music captures the sense of speed and exhilaration that is typical to One Piece, accompanied by lyrics by vocalist YU that carry a powerful message about overcoming any obstacles in your path and repainting the world in your own color. The result is an anthem that can bring courage to all who hear it.

An animated music video has been released to accompany the song, which you can check out right now.

A separate live-action music video has also been released. In the video, the band members perform against a video screen showing epic nature scenes that capture the atmosphere of One Piece, resulting in a dynamic and powerful video.

Comment from I Don’t Like Mondays. vocalist YU:

“I realized that I have been a fan of One Piece for more than 15 years, since I was at junior high school, and even now as an adult it still has an influence on me. To be able to perform the theme tune to such a revered series is an unbelievable opportunity. To be totally honest, I wasn’t sure whether we could create a song that would be worthy of One Piece. I reflected on all the times that One Piece has given me the courage to face adversity, and in doing so, I knew the Straw Hat Pirates had my back this time too. After that, it was simply a case of believing in our ability to write the song, and the result was ‘Paint.’ The song carries the message of surpassing our own limitations. Just as One Piece gave me the courage to confront my fears and hesitations in the present even when the future is hard to see, I hope this song and One Piece can encourage others to feel the same.”

Comment from I Don’t Like Mondays. drummer SHUKI:

“I never thought we’d have the opportunity to create a theme song for One Piece. When writing the song, we paid close attention to the setting of One Piece. Being involved in a series that has meant so much to us since we were kids meant our feelings overlapped and combined, and this allowed us to reflect on the hurdles each of us have faced in the past. We were able to work closely together as we reworked the song over and over, aiming to create something that would be worthy of this series. Having been fans of One Piece for so long, we naturally felt just like the heroes from the series working together to overcome adversity. In order to capture the driving force of this series that is beloved all around the world, and to give a feeling of movement and excitement, we focused on producing a strong guitar sound, which is central to us as a band. In addition, to capture the feeling of the wind pushing the sails of a ship, we added vocal effects and synthesizer, and we changed the rhythm in each section of the song so that it would feel like the chapters of an adventure story. We wanted to create a song that would stand the test of time, so we did our best to avoid the influence of any particular era. We hope this song will leave an impact on the kids who will grow up watching this show just as we did, the adults who have been influenced by this series over many years, and above all, the characters from the show who we love so much!”
