Eiichiro Oda

As One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has continued to work with Japanese rock band GLAY for art and design with the band's 30th anniversary, the collaboration goes even further today with both a new set of album covers drawn by Oda and a music video using his character designs for the band.First, check out the music video for "BRIGHTEN UP": a CG-animated video based on Oda's artwork from the band's 30th anniversary key visual. The song was first released in October 2024 on GLAY's 17th album, Back to the Pops: The album covers designed by Oda will be used for an upcoming "Best of" collection: As for what songs will be included in this collection... well, that's up to you!

The official accounts for the One Piece manga announced yesterday that the series will not appear in the next two issues of Weekly Shonen Jump. The long-running series will be going on a two-week hiatus due to series creator Eiichiro Oda's health.The decision was apparently made late in the publication process, as Weekly Shonen Jump warns that One Piece is included both in the table of contents and as an option on their feedback postcard. The publisher apologizes for the inconvenience.
