ONE PIECE HEROINES Premiere Countdown Begins as AiNA THE END Reveals Radiant New Theme Song
The countdown is officially on. With “ONE PIECE HEROINES” set to premiere on July 5, the anticipation just hit a new peak — AiNA THE END has unveiled “Blue Shining Star,” the series’ official theme song, complete with a brand-new music video that gives fans their first full look at the anthem set to soundtrack one of “ONE PIECE’s” biggest spinoffs yet.
The release lands just days before the franchise makes history with its first all-female-led anime, and the timing couldn’t be more deliberate. Between a viral festival debut and a visually striking new music video, “Blue Shining Star” is already generating serious buzz ahead of the show’s launch.
A Music Video Built on Inner Radiance and Resilience
Directed by Keiju Itai, the “Blue Shining Star” music video centers on a woman enveloped in light and brilliance — but the visual steers away from glamour for its own sake. Instead, it captures a presence that shines from within, portraying someone who carries both confidence and vulnerability at once.
As the song unfolds, that radiance becomes a symbol of moving forward through uncertainty, illuminating not just moments of triumph but the doubts and struggles that come with them. The imagery mirrors the spirit of the track itself, pairing uplifting energy with emotional sincerity while capturing the determination and resilience that have become hallmarks of AiNA THE END’s work.
That emotional throughline arrives with a pedigree already primed for a big moment. The song made its first television performance on Fuji TV’s 2026 FNS Music Festival Summer, giving audiences an early preview ahead of its official release. Now that both the song and its music video are out in the world, all eyes turn to what comes next.
“ONE PIECE HEROINES” Puts Its Women Center Stage
“ONE PIECE HEROINES” premieres July 5, placing the women of the “ONE PIECE” universe at the center of the story for the first time and opening the door to fresh narratives within one of the world’s most beloved franchises. As the series’ official theme song, “Blue Shining Star” sets the emotional tone for that new chapter, arriving just days before audiences meet its heroines in full.
Between its festival debut, its newly released music video, and its connection to one of anime’s biggest franchises, “Blue Shining Star” already carries considerable momentum heading into the premiere. For AiNA THE END, the release marks another major anime theme song in a career increasingly defined by tracks that leave a lasting impression both on screen and beyond it.
With the clock now ticking down to July 5, “Blue Shining Star” has given “ONE PIECE” fans exactly what they needed: a radiant, resilient anthem to carry them into “ONE PIECE HEROINES'” historic debut.
