German premiere: Maki Otsuki, the singer of iconic One Piece songs like memories and RUN! RUN! RUN!, will be performing at AnimagiC in 2027! Look forward to two concerts in the Musensaal and three autograph sessions!
Singer-songwriter Maki Otsuki, born in Japan’s Fukui Prefecture, debuted in 1999 with the song memories—the first ending theme of the popular One Piece anime series—and was inextricably linked to the series for fans by the time the second ending song RUN! RUN! RUN! followed. Her songs continue to accompany the adventures of Luffy & Co. to this day: in 2026, Maki Otsuki contributed the song Sekai wa Hitori ja Nakatta (Never Was Alone in This World) for the reunion of Robin and Sauro in episode 1163.
