Pre One Piece Theme

[Kanzaki Strider]

This is the theme of One Piece before 4Kids turned it into the stupid rap. 4Kids shoul've stuck with this one.

[Anemone]

of course it's better (they don't even mention Sanji in the stupid rap)
besides I hate rap anyway

[Hype]

TBH I think they are as bad as each other *shudders*

Nothing beats "We are"

[Seitoukaichou]

Be a pirate... be a master... Holy ****! Leave it to 4kids to turn anime into crap o___O"

...but anyway, to take any other song then "We Are" as the 1st intro is blasphemy!

[gamebreaker04]

I agree, that song was crap too.

[Megaharrison]

Oh please, that sounded exactly like a One Piece intro but with English lyrics...Silly Japanophiles.

[Portaljacker]

Wait, that's the real first op?

[Chef Sanji]

Damn.. the rapping in the english dub version of One Piece really ruinned the reputation of the real one. The first time i listened to the rap opening... i was nearly floored because how ridiculous it sounded...

[Masaki]

...What?

[BakaKage]

Oh god, it sounds like a 1980s power ballad...

no just no

[Ai_Kotobuki]

good god..in my honest i'm kinda more used to that shitty rap in comparison to that whacked disco version..O.O

[underdogdlx]

...What?

dude, this one FTW.:nod

though i do prefer just about anything over the Rap, so the one this thread is about is better.

[Hype]

...What?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=p6wBuSebrPc&search=one%20piece%20dub%20we%20are


Now that would of been perfectely acceptable :thumbs

[Not A Hero]

They're both horrible. The other one reminded me of pokemon. Hahaha.

[Hitotsumami]

...What?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=p6wBuSebrPc&search=one%20piece%20dub%20we%20are


That is the original version. I don't know where you got that other thing from, but this is the first version. And I like it a lot better than those other two.

[ctizz36]

This is better than the rap

[LEAFVILLAGE]

I PREFER THE ORIGINAL

[mc-killa]

yes,better than the crap rap 4kids tried to shove down out throaths

[Jala]

No, they're both crap o___O". Nothing can beat We Are, as the first intro ^^. But if I really have to choose, I take this one <.<"

[Sawako]

The rap is horrible. Of course this is better!

[Maffy the Love Doctor]

Anything they would have done would still be crappy so I won't even bother watching that :P. But about the rap, what'll they say when Robin joins?

"Sanji's cooking, Chopper's doctoring, and Robin's reading Poneglyphs!"

.....:nod

[Falco-san]

Still sucks, the one Masaki posted was good.

A english version of We are, kepping the one piece spirit and music alive BUT changimg the music isnt always bad, take the german one for example:

I even will go as far as say that the german one is pretty badass.

[danielyang027]

That sucked but it was better than that crappy rap opening

[Supa Swag]

The rap would be better if it had guest appearances from Nas and Lupe Fiasco.

[Masaki]

Pretty good from what I can tell. But I don't know the lyrics. Having the lyrics describe the entire show utterly sucks, but having lyrics that digresses from the show completely/isn't sung by a VA (I threw that in because Mii and Kotona sing the second Zoids Genesis ending) means you picked a song and threw it in. Many of One Piece's songs has subtle hints that they were made for One Piece.

Also, We Are's music went along with the animation better.

I dunno if you understand german, or maybe someone else here understands it.

But these are the lyrics:

Immer den Wolken hinterher
Einer Legende auf der Spur
Führt dein Weg dich übers Meer

Du hast die Mannschaft ausgewählt
Um das Geheimnis aufzuspüren
Du weist du kannst auf jeden zähln
Wenn du sie leitest und sie führst

Deine Freunde werden dich auf diesem Weg begleiten!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh- One Piece!
Nana na na nana na nana na nana na
One Piece!
Nana na na nana na nana na nana na
One Piece!

Jag deinen Träumen hinterher
(hinterher) One Piece!
Der Wind treibt dich hinaus aufs Meer

Finde den größten Schatz der Welt
Du hast hart dafür trainiert
Hier gibt es nichts mehr das dich hält
Lass dich von den Sternen führn

Deine Freunde werden dich auf diesem Weg begleiten

Ohhhhhhhhh-One piece
Nana na na nana na nana na nana na
One Piece!
Nana na na nana na nana na nana na
One Piece!

Jag deinen Träumen hinterher
(hinterher) One Piece!
Der Wind treibt dich hinaus auf Meer
Ohhhhh-One Piece!
Hier gibt es nichts mehr das dich hält
One Piece!
Finde den größten Schatz der Welt

Ohhhhhhhhh-One piece
Nana na na nana na nana na nana na
One Piece!
Nana na na nana na nana na nana na
One Piece!

Jag deinen Träumen hinterher
(hinterher) One Piece!
Der Wind treibt dich hinaus auf Meer
Ohhhhh-One Piece!
Hier gibt es nichts mehr das dich hält
One Piece!
Finde den größten Schatz der Welt

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh-ONE PIECE!!!!

[Warlock1314]

I like any and all Japanese One Piece openings not the 4kids crud!
~Warlock

[Xell]

Just so you guys know, the opening he posted is fake.

And the opening Masaki posted is the real one they were gonna use, before they decided to use the pirate-crap... *rap

=D

[Warlock1314]

It seems like 4kids likes to play make its own theme song.

LEAVE THEM ALONE!
~Warlock

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

Of course its better!

You don't need a poll to figure THAT out!!
