Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra does first anime themes for 3D “One Piece,” “Toriko” films

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra are doing their first anime movie theme songs. They will provide the theme songs for the 3D “One Piece” and “Toriko” films, which were announced last month as a double-feature scheduled for release on March 19, 2011.

Although Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra debuted in 1985, they have surprisingly never collaborated with an animated work. Shinji Shimizu, a producer for Toei Animation, is said to be a big fan of the band, and he requested to have them do the music for the two movies.

The band’s keyboardist, Yuichi Oki, composed the song that will be used in “One Piece 3D.” It is the series’ first instrumental theme song.

Trumpeter NARGO was put in charge of the “Toriko 3D” song, and the result is described as a rhythmic tune that fits the manga’s themes of gourmet food and fighting.

No release date for the theme songs has been announced yet.
