Oretachi wa Family!

As I was saying, most of the songs in One Piece are good. One of the songs which I like most is “Oretachi wa Family”! This song was first used as a special ending song, and later used as insert song. I have no need to introduce the singers as they are the Strawhat Pirates themselves LOL! However, the singers doesn’t include Franky because he appeared later in the show. Why I like this song? Well, it may sounds simple, but yet able to bring my spirit up. Mainly because of the background music, it made the song sounds really cheerful~

• Song: Oretachi wa Family
• Singer: The Strawhat Pirates
• My Rating: 5 Stars

Here is the special ending video, obtained from youtube. The quality is not very high but hey! The lyrics is already provided above, why bother to strain your eyes? Just enjoy the animation! =D

Most of the time, songs sung by anime characters are not that nice to listen to like Oh! Enka” and “Naruto Ondo” sung by Junko Takeuchi. Besides the songs from the Haruhi series, i think “Oretachi wa Family” can already be considered one of the best so far, for me that is… In the video above, the part sung by Robin was replaced by Usopp, but if u listen to the audio file above, u can still hear Robin singing the part. Woah, i was shocked to hear Robin singing like this because in the anime, she always look so cool. Ok anyway, just enjoy the song!
