Sadly, he hasn´t done Jungle P yet.

Ah man, I just realized a real missed opportunity by Midiguy there, listening to the last few verses. He could've dropped the "1, 2, sunshine" thing entirely and just went for "Once the sun shines then We Go!" The word "Sunshine" would still be cleverly intact, as well as 1 with "once." I'm tempted to use it myself in another draft, but I've got this thing where once I see other's fan-translations of a song, I try to make sure mine are as different from theirs as possible out of respect for theirs, though this is too genius to pass up in my eyes. I may just use it anyway seeing as "technically" those lyrics aren't in there, though I'd still say that the main bit was influenced by his translation should I use it.
Sadly, he hasn´t done Jungle P yet.
He hasn't done Brand New World yet either, though with everyone hounding him for it, we could get it soon.
well…Thank you so much but I loved Fight together:wub: more than We Go
We Were!
Btw you guys, who do you think should handle this song once Funi gets to it? (Whenever that may be….)
Personally, I think Funi should get Vic Mignogna to do it, since he did the first opening. It'd be similar to Hiroshi Kitadani doing both We Are and We Go. I also think he should go for the same rough and energetic tone he used when he sung Dragon Soul for We Go as well, I think it'd be great.

I don't have a doubt in my mind that if Funi gets up to this, that Vic will sing this.
As much as I love Vic, I don't want him singing every male-singer opening, though. Hopefully Jerry Jewell could possibly sing some opening.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OMG THIS IS GOLD!!! Poor Kuma. And dat ending, nuff said.
How long you think we will keep this song? I mean they have been using it in so many endings. He has been seen singing it at a ton of events, and so on.
Is this going to be like double the length of normal? Think the next opening is the same song, just new visuals?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
We Were!
Would have been awesome if when the timeskip came back they had this song as the opening instead and the opening animation be just like the original except put in the fake strawhats (also add in the guys not in opening Franky/chopper/robin/brook)
THEN do the new opening "We Go" like when the strawhats are finally leaving for fishman island.
I think that would have been the best
Found some epic fandubs in other languages:
Spanish:
German:
We Go is just like We Are, in the sense that it sounds great in just about any language it's sung in.
Edit, (after a few days): I recently made more major revisions to my lyrics that I'm pretty comfortable with:
! Ohhhhhh~ You'll never stop me- hope's really got me-
Holding out for daylight's break- And I can't wait~!
Reach me Sunshine- then- WE GO!
! Now we raise our flag. To the BREAK OF ROMANCE DAWN!
We're not about to sleep- we're gonna make some waves- with a Jump start!
Cause we wanna go, to the crazy brand new world-
We've got the toughness- to make sure we make it there!
! You don't like us? Then say it to me!
Just being wanted- Means we're the winners! :D
And freedom is the one, and only rule that we live by~
It's just not our way- to worry away~
! I'll find One Piece- and I'll be the Only-
One, with the dreaming heart- that will succeed!
My life's been like a dream- Don't wake me!
! You'll never stop me- hope's really got me-
Holding out for daylight's break- And I can't wait~!
Reach me Sunshine- then- WE GO!
! All of you and I. We have made it here, this far.~
Our skills have carried us to- our wildest dreams and now-
We won't leave anyone behind.
! "Keep moving forward-" that's been our objective-
Since the day our dreams first began.
That bright future, that I see- it hasn't changed not at all. You'll never stop me- hope's really got me-
Holding out for daylight's break- my heart can't wait~!
Reach me Sunshine~
Set free, my mind~
Reach me Sunshine- then, WE~ GO~~!
WE GO!
I kinda changed the main verse's angle to "It may seem bad now, but I'm holding out for the sunshine to come through and make everything alright."
I rushed things before but I have the same edition Samwize has which is the first press edition. I'll get you guys proper scans now, a bit late but yeah. Watch this space.

Well, for his credit, he's on key, puts decent amount of emotion to singing, has a good mic and the lyrics aren't direct translations that would sound like crap when sung. I like his One Day and Share the World dubs better, though.
Watch This AMV mute with We Go full. It totally fits.

MidiGuy is a professional. He has served One Piece fans well, the only decent English fandubs I've heard have came from him. I did get a little annoyed with the lyrics, but I can't imagine Funimation staff would sing it much better. Nothing will top his version of One Day.
Also I think that James Shimoji's original soundtrack fits Redline a lot better, not saying that We Go! isn't any good =P

What makes you so sure that he isn't?
EDIT: You certainly don't appreciate MidiGuyFDdp21. He is definitely more professional than you considering the way in which you act and show respect on these forums.

Excuse me? These forums are nowhere near anything I'd expect off a professional. Let alone how fucking derpy that just sounded right there, he's an amateur singer I can appreciate that. But just because I think he's a shit one for legitimate reasons doesn't mean you get to then turn around and compare it with no context to my behaviour on this forum.
Midiguy is literally one of the best fandubbers out there, along with lesser known guys like Shadowlink4321 and others. Maybe he's not the greatest when it comes to lyrics, (though I personally thought his We Go lyrics were catchy,) but when it comes to vocal quality, it literally doesn't any better than him as far as fandubs go.
On another note, I've been working on this for the past few weeks, and seeing as the thread was bumped I thought it'd be a good time to leave this here:
Don't know when it'll be done, but I'm more than halfway done with it as a whole. (I'm also the guy who did the hand drawn 10th opening animation.) It'll be somewhat smoother than it looks here, and in color. I'm taking less "shortcuts" than I did on the 10th this time around; I'm getting better at drawing the characters as they actually look, and most of the big sequences will be drawn frame-by-frame.
The truth is he's not an amateur singer. Other than great recording equipment, he has talent. His music is actually licensed in video games so his talent is worth the buck.
I don't see why you had to insult him. No one needs to act like a smart-ass here T.
EDIT: Looking great so far Electrivire! Stick at it! I'd recommend using a scanner if your not already as you will get an even shade of white for each frame.

Considering I wrote the lyrics for his One Day, I was doubly touched by how well he handled it.
<- So am I the only one that thinks not only have the lyrics been trashed but that these vocals are really fucking whiney and nothing like Kitadani's?
I really like MidiGuy (I especially like his One Day, Believe and Fight Together covers)… but I admit, I agree with you. I always thought his cover (and lyrics) of this song wasn't really as great as his other stuff.
Considering I wrote the lyrics for his One Day, I was doubly touched by how well he handled it.
Wow man didn't realize! Did you write any other songs for him? Because One Day hands down was the best!
I love Midiguy! Especially Fight Together and One Day. I do admit, his covers of We Go and We Are aren't his best, though. I do think the lyrics were handled VERY well, aside from the "One Two Sunshine' part. I've grown fond of Shifts "Three, two one-shine" idea.

Thanks, you guys! The other one I wrote for were the additional lyrics for We Are; it was from an older draft so there were some small changes I wished I could have made, but I loved it on the whole. There's one more song he might use my lyrics on, so I'll pop in if it ever comes out.
Shift, whenever you get the chance I'd love to read your own singable lyrics for Fanfare. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I appreciate MidiGuy's fandubs a lot. But just because someone is good a singing doesn't mean that they are perfect for every song. I'm sure one reason his "We Go!" sounds off to us is because we're so used to hearing either Hiroshi Kitadani or Vic Mignogna with "We Are!", so someone else at the helm would throw one off. He is at the top of the league though, I haven't heard anyone put as much effort into fandubs than him.
I'd say "Fight Together" is my favorite one ^^

Here's a translation for the short version of Fanfare. Can't wait to see what you can do with it!
It's too late to mourn now
Wave goodbye to yesterday
Now is the time to embark
Raise the deep-sunken anchor
Congratulations! Our hearts beat fast to the fanfare!
The confetti dances in the boundless gradation of our memory.
Wandering in an aimless journey, we lose our resolution.
The end of a voyage that nobody knows.
You ask me to wait and ask for my destination.
But the answer is always in the wind.
One day we'll grow up through our carelessness and seriousness.
Let's search for the lost treasure.
It's too late to mourn now
Wave goodbye to yesterday
Now is the time to embark…
Raise the deep-sunken anchor!
You ask me to wait and ask for my destination.
Has the answer always been in the wind?
Surely, today, in your eyes
A new me is embarking on an endless journey.
One day we'll grow up... to be shrewd adults...

Looking great so far Electrivire! Stick at it! I'd recommend using a scanner if your not already as you will get an even shade of white for each frame.
Thanks, I have one and would use it, but the way I do these, (I draw each frame in little boxes, around 8-10 per page,) it's just easier and faster to use my camera, especially the scenes that require paper cutouts. Though recently I've set it to where the frames come out brighter, and with more consistent brightness and coloring.
Here's another preview, I've been at this for 3 weeks now:
Most scenes are missing colors, transitions, effects, objects and characters, those are some of the last things that'll be added.

All I can find on YT is the full version, so for a lot of that, I can't be sure which parts go where. But here's what I came up with so far:
**There’s no more time to mourn for the past,
We need to send it off on its way,
Now is the time to be sailing at last,
Pull up the anchor and we'll start out today…
Congratulations! The fanfare in our hearts is ringing out loud~!
And the gradation of our memories flow so deep and true and proud~!
We can’t decide on where we’re headed,
Might take the wind out of our sails,
Nobody knows,
But still, we’ve got somewhere to go…**

Okay, I think I've got something workable here. If anyone can give me the full song's translation, I'd really love to finish it:
**Fanfare (English Short Ver.)
It’s far too late to mourn for the past,
The time has come to cast it away,
We’re sailing off on our voyage at last,
Pull up the anchor and we'll start out today…
Congratulations! The fanfare in our hearts is ringing out loud~!

We can’t decide on where we’re headed,

Nobody knows,
But still, we’ve got somewhere to go…
There’s no time for this weak hesitation!
Set a course for our new destination!
No matter where it is, we’re gonna ride…
To where the wind guides us!
They might see us as crazy and helpless,
Soon we’ll show them our dreams are not hopeless,
Somewhere out there lies what has inspired…
Our true desire!
It’s far too late to mourn for the past,
The time has come to cast it away,
We’re sailing off on our voyage at last,
Pull up the anchor and we'll start out today…
There’s no time for this weak hesitation!
But can we choose our own destination,
Or has the wind decided where we’ll go****…**
**Right from the beginning?
Can’t you see how our dreams are unfolding?
At this moment, the world is beholding
The dawning of our legacy unfurled…!
We’re no longer the people we once were,
As we head for our endless adventure!
We’ll become the ones who can inspire…
That true desire!**
Great job as always Shift, but I believe a couple lines are missing actually.

Ah, yes, I did wonder whether that extra line sung was included in the translation. I edited in a new section above.
Ok, now it's perfect! I wish there was a full version available but unfortunately the only translation I can find is a horrible one on the Wiki page.
Finished this a few days ago but of all places I forgot to post it here:
Completed to the bast of my ability, though to be honest I could've given this an extra week, I was just starting to go crazy working on it day after day. Probably the last one of these I'll do for awhile.
Great job Electrivire! It came out really well!
Once again - very impressive work!
I love how you "altered" the ending :ninja:
That last Robin drawing was delightful.
I'd love to see you put up a video explaining your process for making these sometime!
Excellent work!
Love it Electrivire! Glad you kept your managed to complete it!
AMAZING job on the video Electrivire! I'm jealous, you should do your own anime LOL. Great job and I hope if you get the time you do more.
I've recently combined Midiguy's Fandub with my animation:
even added in the Funimation OP logo similar to how Funi would probably do it in the official dub as a way of saying that his fandub is as good as an official Funi dub.Also, as a side note, I think this dude is awesome:
index=42&feature=plpp_videothat was nice. i love crayons coloring style
Unfortunately for us when this actually does get dubbed FUNimation will probably cut to a random shot of the Sunny and place their logo over that instead.
Does anyone know where can I find this opening textless? I've been looking for it everywhere and this is the only thread that had links but they are all dead.

I didn't mean video from youtube but the video itself from dvd.
This is one of my favorite openings ;). It just gets you pumped and excited.
