On Aug. 25, popular anime One Piece bid a special farewell to J-pop superstar Amuro Namie with a clip featuring her at the end of a TV special titled One Piece: Episode of Skypiea!
The clip was a collaboration between Amuro and the anime to commemorate her Sept. 16 retirement. In it, Amuro appears as her anime counterpart, joined by the Straw Hat Pirates at Sky Island. During her farewell tour titled “Namie Amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~”, which ran from Feb. to Jun. 2018, she also streamed the clip for her audiences. However, this was the first and last time for fans to see it on TV.
Renowned not only in Japan and the anime industry but also all around the world, Amuro herself has performed three of One Piece's theme songs: “Fight Together”, “Black Make-Up”, and “Hope”, the last of which is currently being used.
