One Piece is streaming on Netflix now.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: Some SPOILERS for Netflix's One Piece.Netflix’s One Piece, the first live-action adaptation of the longest-running manga series of all time, has set sail. The series has the blessing of Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the manga, and has been praised as a largely faithful interpretation of the series despite some key changes from the original One Piece.
Sonya Belousova: Every soloist, every artist... Aurora, Marcin, Flawless Real Talk, Wondagirl, our orchestrators, the whole team, the music prep team… literally the whole music department. They are such rock stars. We’re so grateful for this fantastic team, because we couldn't have done this without any of these people and any of these incredible artists.
Giona Ostinelli: Here's the thing. While working on One Piece—because we're huge fans of One Piece—we were writing as fans. “What do we want to hear as fans of One Piece in One Piece?” When we were writing, we were getting excited, like “This is so cool.” So you were writing all this before you saw scripts, or at least [that’s when] you had your ideas. How much did your musical ideas change once you saw the casting and saw these actors embody these characters the way they do?Giona Ostinelli: I don't think they changed because we're fans of the manga and the anime.
Giona Ostinelli: A few months ago, we were working on some scenes, and I remember either Matt or Steve coming back with a note, like, “Here, we're hearing the theme of this character. It should be this other theme.” We were like, “Oh my gosh, they're so familiar with the themes.” It gives us an amazing opportunity to have such a creative dialogue with them on how to interpolate everything.
Sonya Belousova: It's huge. The third instrument is the duduk, which is originally an Armenian instrument. Zoro has this sword—it's called Wado Ichimonji—and it's a very particular sword. It has a lot of history as a sword, itself, but also has a lot of personal history for Zoro. He doesn't use it very often. He only uses it on very special occasions, so having a very special instrument with a mystical and sacred quality like duduk is a perfect representation of that sword.
Sonya Belousova: So Sanji is kicking there and Giona is kicking right here. It worked just fine. Then we have Usopp, who, as of right now, is still cowardly, but his biggest dream is to become the bravest pirate out there. As of right now, his instrument is a ukulele, and it's actually a bluesy ukulele. There is no such genre, really, but there is now in One Piece, because there are no boundaries in this universe.
Giona Ostinelli: I sacrificed myself with mandolin. I'm originally a drummer. I played drums, then I started playing piano, and then during the pandemic I started learning guitars, bass—all the stringed instruments. So, I was like, “Oh, it would be cool to do mandolin. Oh my gosh, the strings on the mandolin are so thin.” I was like, “This is the torture of this instrument.”
Giona Ostinelli: I remember when we were recording it, we did a few takes of different stocks--like one octave, then an octave higher--and remember Sonya was like, "Do it once more," and I was like, "Tomorrow. Please." Sonya Belousova: Good news: no composers were hurt in the process, and no microphones were hurt in the process.
