Japanese four-piece band muque have landed their first ever anime theme song: ‘The 1’ will be the ending theme for the Egghead Arc of the legendary anime series ‘ONE PIECE’. Trackmaker takachi based the sound for this epic song on drum'n'bass. ‘The 1’ blends an emotional chord progression over a fast-paced beat, while the intricate arrangement used more audio tracks than any other muque song to date. Meanwhile, bassist Lenon and guitarist Kenichi add to the song's dynamic feel, intertwining with vocalist Asakura's expansive voice and melodies, resulting in a new sound that only muque could create.

This grand song features lyrics themed on the importance of facing one's own strength. The song's inspirational message reminds us it can be easier to find the power within us by channeling past life experiences and embracing the support of our friends.

About muque

muque are a four-piece band based in Fukuoka, Japan, featuring members Asakura (guitar and vocals), Lenon (bass), takachi (programming and drums) and Kenichi (guitar). They formed in May 2022.

Their music is mainly produced by drummer takachi, who also creates and arranges the tracks, and Asakura, who handles the topline melodies and lyrics.

The group's appeal comes from takachi's modern-sounding tracks, influenced by global music from not only the US and UK but also Asian beats, and Asakura's deep lyrics and melodies that exude a typically Japanese vibe. The music and Asakura's emotional vocal delivery combine to create a unique world that is all their own.


The band's name muque is a blend of the French word “musique” and the Japanese word “muku”, which means “purity”. The name reflects the band's desire to make the music they want to make, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
