Believe

"Believe" is a song performed by the Japanese girl group, Folder 5. It was featured as the second opening for the One Piece anime. Meredith McCoy covered the song for the Funimation dub.

Opening
Shot of the ocean before showing a montage of characters up to Loguetown arc (even a few from fillers such Daddy Masterson and Carol) before going to title. The Merry sailing with the Straw Hats crew before they nearly sail off a waterfall. The Straw Hats showing off attacks while scenes from previous episodes featuring them play in the background. Flashes of upcoming characters (Apis, Eric and Commodore Nelson, Crocus, Laboon, Ms. Friday, Mr. 13, Ms. Wednesday (Vivi), Mr. 9, Mr. 8 (Igaram), Ms. Monday, Mr. 5, Ms. Valentine, Dorry and Brogy), Straw Hats running on a beach with a Sea King yawning in the background (lifted from a chapter cover), Shanks and his crew, more shots from previous episodes and finally the Straw Hats once again with Luffy using the Straw Hats' flag as a cape.

Intro
Destiny... Fate... Dreams...

These unstoppable ideals are held deep in the heart of man As long as there are people who seek freedom in this life These things shall not vanish from the Earth...

Lyrics
People tell me my head's in the clouds I don't care what they say because I'm dreamin' of you You are the treasure I've found So bright, so bold, yet so elusive

It's hard to look away, even though it's blinding me There are no words to describe how I feel inside I'm really really stuck on you whoa, whoa!

I have to follow my dreams however crazy they seem And I won't stop 'til I get there, you will see You're all I need to have the strength to believe Believe in Wonderland!

I'm gonna' follow my dreams, however crazy they seem I'm gonna' share them with you, a love so true You're all I want, together we can move on Live how we want to!

There is no limit to us, we have the power of love And we don't wanna' live ordinary lives We have the chance to live in paradise Believe in Wonderland!

Trivia

 * "Believe" is a cover of the single "Dreamin' of You" by Eurobeat vocalist, Lolita.
 * There is a error in the intro before the song starts - the diamonds on Krieg's hand are reversed, they are placed on the left hand instead of the usual right hand. This was possibly cause by the simple reversal of the animation frames.
 * The color spread from Chapter 147 can be seen in the opening.
 * As with most early One Piece openings, the song is preceded by a short monologue. In this case, the opening features a bit of dialogue spoken by Gol D. Roger in Episode 53, the final episode of the Loguetown arc.
 * At 68 episodes, this is the third longest running opening, behind DREAMIN' ON at 69 episodes, and We Go! at 72 episodes.
 * After the video game Big Secret Treasure of the Seven Phantom Islands was entering the end, it started to play the instrumental version of this song.
 * This is the first intro to include non-canon characters.
 * Just like the previous opening theme, in the special edition print, the widescreen version of the ONE PIECE text card at the end is used.
