AAA's One Piece fanboy, Nishijima Takahiro to voice act through One Piece!
On July 12th, it was revealed that Nishijima Takahiro of the group AAA will be challenging voice-acting for the very first time through the popular anime, “ONE PIECE“.
Nishijima - who is a self-professed fan of the series himself - participated enthusiastically in an open recording of the special episode “ONE PIECE Episode of Nami Koukaishi no Namida to Nakama no Kizuna” on the 12th. “I’d love to do it again,” he said of the experience. This 2-hour special episode will be aired on August 25th, and AAA will be providing the theme song “We Are!” (Originally Kitadani Hiroshi’s song) which is the cover of the very first opening theme song of “ONE PIECE” anime. AAA version of “We Are!” will also be included in the group’s upcoming new album (scheduled for a release on August 22nd) as a bonus track.

Tanaka: “Nissy! You are my partner and friend! Come on! Let’s sail away!”
Nishijima: “Yes, I’ll get on”
