Shining ray is the eighth ending of the One Piece anime sung by the J-pop band Janne da Arc.
Ending
The crew is shown separately seeking shelter from the rain in pictures painted-still. Luffy under an archway, Nami and Chopper under the roof of a house (the area above Chopper apparently having gave way and poured water over him), Usopp and Sanji at a local bus stop and Zoro under a staircase. The rain eventually clears and the crew reunite and all run together back to the Going Merry.

Lyrics
| Japanese Kanji | Japanese Rōmaji | English Translation |
| どこに向かって走れば もっと 素敵な明日に逢える？ |
Doko ni mukatte hashireba Motto suteki na ashita ni aeru? |
Taking the helm, I spread out the map of miracles I had shut in my heart And thought, "What course can I set that will lead to a more amazing tomorrow?" |
| 空を目指して 夢を探して 道に迷った時もある |
Sora o mezashite yume o sagashite Michi ni mayotta toki mo aru |
There were times I lost my way, aiming for the sky and searching for a dream But it wasn't a dream: I found my amazing self when I met you |
| 小さな勇気から 大きな物手にした ｢願い｣を今こそ ｢誓い｣に変えて |
Chiisana yuuki kara ookina mono te ni shita "Negai" o ima koso "chikai" ni kaete |
With a small bit of courage, we attained big things Right now, change your "wish" into a "vow" |
| Shining ray Find your brand new way. 未来の物語を描こう |
Shining ray Find your brand new way Mirai no monogatari o egakou |
Shining ray! Find your brand new way Let's paint a story of the future |
| 色んな景色 胸に刻んで 遠くにまで来たけれど |
Ironna keshiki mune ni kizande Tooku ni made kita keredo |
Etching the memories of my journey in my heart, I came this far But even now, I can't find that answer |
| 遠回りでいいから ｢生きる｣意味覚えたい この光が心照らす限り |
Toomawari de ii kara "ikiru" imi oboetai Kono hikari ga kokoro terasu kagiri |
I don't mind taking detours, I just want to learn what it means to live As long as this light is shining on my heart |
| Shining ray Find your brand new way.
|
Shining ray Find your brand new way Towa no taiyou ni te o nobashite |
Shining ray! Find your brand new way By reaching out to the eternal sun |
| Shining ray Find your brand new way. 未来の物語を描こう |
Shining ray Find your brand new way Mirai no monogatari o egakou |
Shining ray! Find your brand new way Let's paint a story of the future |
| Shining ray Find your brand new way. a never ending journey to be together. |
Shining ray Find your brand new way A never ending journey to be together |
Shining ray! Find your brand new way A never ending journey to be together |

Lyrics
Can somebody point to
the course I should sail through,
where I can discover a new tomorrow?
I found direction,
a map of perfection
I secretly held in the depths of my heart!
I aim for sky air
and follow my dreams there
although, there were times
I was lost and lonely
I know It's real too,
because when I met you,
you brought out the finest me I can be
And when I overcame my fear,
I gained something so wonderful here
Now the time is at hand for my
wish to be turned to a pledge!
Shining Ray! Find your brand new way!
We'll sketch out a tale of all
the stories yet to be told!
I fill the sails with all that I'm feeling now
See how the winds are changing!
Shining Ray! Find your brand new way!
A never-ending journey to be together!
I'm gonna go wherever you
go, my Shining Ray!
Trivia
