The official One Piece YouTube channel has released a preview of the upcoming “Where the Wind Blows” anime music video ahead of its August 24 release.
The “Where the Wind Blows” video will be the latest in a series of animated music videos produced by various creators for songs from the upcoming Uta no Uta One Piece Film Red album that will be released on August 10. Toei Animation is producing the new video.
Previous music videos include “New Genesis,” “I’m Invincible,” and “Backlight.” The songs are performed by Ado, the singing voice for the key One Piece Film Red character Uta. August will also see the release of the music videos for “Fleeting Lullaby” and “The World’s Continuation.”
One Piece Film Red is set to premiere in Japan on August 6. It will be the 15th One Piece anime movie and the latest since 2019’s One Piece Stampede. The premise is described as:
Uta — the most beloved singer in the world. Her voice, which she sings with while concealing her true identity, has been described as “otherworldly.” She will appear in public for the first time at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans — excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance — the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is “Shanks’ daughter.”
The movie is directed by Gorou Taniguchi (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection, One Piece: Taose! Kaizoku Gyanzakku) with a script from Tsutomu Kuroiwa (One Piece Film: Gold, GANTZ:O). One Piece mangaka Eiichiro Oda is the general producer and original story creator, while Masayuki Satou (One Piece Film Strong World character designer and animation director) is the character designer and chief animation director.
The Shueisha-published One Piece manga began in 1997 and has 102 tankoubon volumes as of April 2022. The manga received its first anime adaptation in the form of the One Piece: Taose! Kaizoku Gyanzakku OVA, which was released in 1999. An anime series began in 1999 and passed the 1000th episode mark on November 21, 2021, while the first One Piece movie premiered in 2000. Production I.G produced Taose! Kaizoku Gyanzakku, while subsequent instalments were produced by Toei Animation.
