As part of the film’s promotion, Toei partnered with USC’s Spirit of Troy marching band, who performed several One Piece theme songs, during the USC Trojans football game against the Rice University Owls on September 3rd. The performances include those for “We Are”, “New Genesis (the theme of One Piece Film Red)”, and “Over the Top.”
During the halftime performance, Toei originally announced that the film was going to be released in October. However, according to Anime News Network, Toei representatives told them that the date changed just before the game, so there was not enough time to update the new date.

The film’s synopsis is as follows:
“Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as “otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans —excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance —the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks’ daughter.”
