AiNA THE END Unveils ‘Luminous’ Music Video, New Opening Theme for ‘One Piece’

AiNA THE END has officially released her new song “Luminous,” the opening theme for the Elbaf Arc of the globally beloved anime ONE PIECE. The track is now available across all major streaming platforms, and the official music video has also been released on her YouTube channel.

The newly released music video reunites AiNA THE END with director G2 YUKI TSUJIMOTO, who also helmed her previous hit “革命道中 – On The Way.” Released in July 2025 as the opening theme for DAN DA DAN Season 2, “革命道中 – On The Way” became a defining milestone in her career — entering the Billboard Global 200 chart and reaching the Top 50 of the Billboard Japan Hot 100, while also dominating the Billboard Japan Hot Animation chart for multiple weeks. The track garnered over 200+ million global streams across major streaming platforms, and was featured on Spotify’s Viral Top 50 Global chart — marking a major breakthrough for AiNA THE END both domestically and internationally.

Blurring the line between dream and reality, the “Luminous” video centers around the act of “running” as a force that drives inner change. Even if the destination may feel out of reach, the act of moving forward becomes the beginning of the story. As the narrative unfolds, encounters that initially stand as obstacles transform into unity, culminating in a powerful group dance finale. The result is a visually striking, emotional piece packed with energy and a sense of release that mirrors the song’s uplifting spirit. Viewers are invited to step into the unique creative world crafted by AiNA THE END and G2 YUKI TSUJIMOTO.

“Luminous” was also performed live for the first time today on TV Asahi’s Music Station. The ONE PIECE Elbaf Arc begins airing this Sunday, April 5 — inviting audiences to embark on a new adventure accompanied by AiNA THE END’s powerful opening theme.

In addition to the release, AiNA THE END kicks off her 2026 Asia tour this month, bringing her dynamic live performance to major cities across the region before continuing with headline dates in Japan — further expanding her international presence following the milestones she has achieved in her career to date.

About AiNA THE END
AiNA THE END launched her career in 2015 as a member of BiSH, the unconventional punk band that performed without instruments. Following their major debut the following year, she later released her first solo album “THE END” in 2021, featuring tracks she personally wrote and composed, marking her serious transition to solo work. In June 2023, BiSH disbanded to the heartbreak of fans, and she has since been active as a solo artist.

In January 2024, she wrote the theme song “Takaramono” for the TBS Sunday drama “Sayonara Maestro: Chichi to Watashi no Appassionato”, followed by a stream of new releases including “Frail,” the theme song for the film “Henna Ie”, and “Love Sick,” the theme for the theatrical film “Mononoke The Movie: The Phantom in the Rain.”

Her music has consistently been selected for commercial use, including “Heart ni Heart” (Glico Pocky), “Kaze to Kuchizuke to” (NIVEA), “Poppin’ Run” (Volkswagen T-Cross), and “Christmas Card” (Tokyo Christmas Market 2024).

Beyond music, she played the lead role of Janis Joplin in the Japanese premiere of the Broadway musical “Janis” in 2022. In October 2023, she starred in her first film, “Kyrie’s Song”, directed by Shunji Iwai, earning multiple prestigious awards for her performance.

Her solo tour “Grow The Sunset” and her first headlining concert at the iconic Nippon Budokan, “ENDROLL”, both held in March 2024, sold out completely.

On November 27, 2024, she will release “RUBY POP”, her third solo album and her first in three years. In December, she will hold her first solo concert overseas, followed by the completion of her national “Harinezumi Smile” tour across eight cities in January 2025. Starting in October, she is set to embark on another nationwide tour titled “Kakumei Dōchū”, covering nine cities across Japan.
