One Piece has revealed the new opening theme song for the EGGHEAD Arc with Episode 1089. The key visual and opening/ending theme artists were initially revealed over a month back on November 26, but tonight was the episode premiere.
Hiroshi Kitadani was in charge of the opening, titled “A~su!” Fans of One Piece will recognize Kitadani as he sang the original opening of the show, “We Are!” and other incredible openings for the anime series, like “We Go!” and “Over the Top!” The opening video is a gorgeous creation that was directed by Megumi Ishitani, who was also responsible for directing Episode 1015. A new ending was also revealed, titled “Dear Sunrise” by Maki Otsuki.
