One Piece Opening 1 could be the most iconic song of the series as it is considered by some fans the face of the series. The opening song portrays the exact feeling of the series, how a little boy's journey started as he gathered a strong crew that would help him conquer the Grand Line and become the King of the Pirates.
While this opening is a must in every event related to the series, it was recently featured at a party, specifically as a remix at the party of Steve Aoi, a famous American DJ, in Japan. Being in Japan, the DJ was not only surprised by the audience's reaction but also by the online fandom's love for how cherished this opening song is.

One Piece first opening featured in Steve Aoi's party in Japan
Steve Aoki is an American DJ and record producer considered one of the biggest Asian musicians in the industry. The DJ has collaborated with some big names in the industry, like Alan Walker, Backstreet Boys, Linkin Park, and so many others, on the remix versions of their songs.
Three days ago, the singer held a party in Japan where he played the first official remix of the series' first opening song titled We Are by Hiroshi Kitadani. The opening song's remix added a heavy base and mostly consisted of music instead of the lyrics.
As seen in the video, the audience sang the song along with the lyrics, which improved the experience. This surprised the DJ over how much the people of Japan loved the opening song and also surprised the fandom online with an amazing remix that everyone could vibe to.
Reaction from the fandom
The fandom was in awe over how big One Piece's influence was in the fandom's eyes. While one part of the fandom appreciated the remix song, the other couldn't take their eyes off the Japanese fandom singing the song alongside the remix music.
On the other hand, one part of the fandom explored how big of a fan the DJ was of Eiichiro Oda's magnum opus as fans reported the details they had of him. A fan reported that DJ Steve Aoi was also a collector of the series' trade cards, which are really popular in Japan. One fan also reported how the DJ did a fashion show with the series' themed clothes.

"Not surprised coming from him since he's been a fan for awhile now. He even buys the OP trading cards. I do too"- another fan claimed.
