Namie Amuro's song "Fight together" featuring in the new One piece opening sequence

Aside from recording new songs to pad out her Checkmate! album, Namie also recorded a brand new song "Fight together" to feature as the new opening theme to the ever popular One piece anime series.

I've never been able to get into One piece. But this opening sequence along with the song made me want to watch this shit real bad for a hot minute!

Before Namie even started to sing, I was overcome with thoughts of MiChi should have laced this. Namie does sound good. But MiChi would have shut this song done because it's very much her style, and her vocals would have suited it better. The song needed a vocalist whose vocals can soar and project a real sense of happiness. And Namie's...well...she sounds fed up and a little deadpan. It is still a good song though. And it's mo' money in the bank for Amuro-chan.
