The program immerses the audience in the Straw Hat Pirates' adventures through animated segments projected on a large screen, accompanied by a live performance from a symphony orchestra comprising more than 50 artists. This blend of music and visuals helps to capture the essence of the work, nearly 30 years after its initial release.

Composer Kohei Tanaka, who has been involved with One Piece since its early days, arranged and orchestrated the music for the concert. The film's scores are reimagined, featuring notable pieces such as "Haha naru Umi", "Sekai no ichiban oden da!!", and "Ore no saikouchiten". Attendees will also be the first to experience the new opening song, "UUUUUS!", composed specifically for this concert.
