ONE PIECE Egghead Arc features Muque’s inaugural anime theme song ‘The 1’
Japanese four-piece band muque has made an exciting debut with their first-ever anime theme song, ‘The 1,’ which will serve as the ending theme for the highly anticipated Egghead Arc of the legendary anime series ONE PIECE. This track, crafted by band member takachi, showcases their signature blend of drum’n’bass with an emotional chord progression, creating a dynamic and powerful sound.
A Bold New Sound for muque
muque has always had a unique style, thanks to takachi’s innovative production and Asakura’s deep, emotional vocals. But with ‘The 1,’ the band takes their sound to a new level. The song blends an energetic, fast-paced beat with a rich, layered arrangement that uses more audio tracks than any previous muque song. The interplay of bass, guitar, and vocals adds depth, with Lenon and Kenichi anchoring the rhythm and Asakura’s expansive voice delivering the song’s powerful message.
The Power Within: Lyrics of Inspiration
The song’s lyrics focus on the theme of facing one’s own strength and the importance of finding power within. The track encourages listeners to tap into past experiences and lean on the support of friends to harness their inner strength. This message aligns with the empowering themes often found in ONE PIECE and adds a fresh layer to the ongoing story in the Egghead Arc.
A Milestone for muque
Formed in 2022, muque quickly established themselves as a band to watch. With influences ranging from global music scenes, including the US, UK, and Asian beats, they have carved out a sound that is uniquely their own. The band’s name, a fusion of the French word “musique” and the Japanese “muku” (meaning purity), reflects their commitment to creating authentic music that stays true to their vision.
