Where can I find the grape Fanta? We got stuck with a nasty punch-flavored variant at 7-11. #firstworldproblems Crying or Very sad

Yeah, this is literal clickbait. When you use "The One Piece Rap" in an English headline, 99% of readers are going to associate that with the 4Kids opening theme. This ad has nothing to do with that ... The tracks don't sound remotely similar and I doubt anyone from Fanta Japan is even aware of that theme. An accurate title would've been, "The Fanta rap is back, but this time it's for One Piece."

The problem with is that unless Japan made Fanta commercials featuring Rap in it, it's never been done before to my knowledge

When people think of Fanta they think of this

When it comes to Fanta and One Piece, the first thing that came to mind was a video done around the time when Fanta offered a service that allowed online users to add their own fake subtitles to international news clips.

One popular one had the subtitles consisting of anime fans being all mad about the show being licensed by 4Kids, with the reporter going (paraphrasing here) "Oh, anime fans, although you have to admit Nami does have a nice ass."

Why are the Fanta colors so weird? Why is the grape one a slightly redder purple? Why is the orange one so yellow?

It's just a fun little video don't overthink it ... also it has nothing to do with 4kids once however.

Ah the original One Piece rap. Something even Oda would like to forget.

Yeah, this article is definitely shameless clickbait. My first thought was, "Wait, would a Japanese viewer even know about that?!" A better title would have been "One Piece Characters Rap Again, But This Time for Fanta" or something similar. The article even cites the "original" One Piece rap at the end, as if this one is somehow a modified dorm of that.

Anyhow, I wouldn't mind bottles of Fanta with One Piece characters on it here in the U.S. :/

Yea the title of this article was pretty deceiving. I went into it expecting something similar to the 4Kids One Piece rap, but then I watched the video and didn't even think much of it. Now the only people commenting on it are the ones complaining about being misled and lied to, rather than anything constructive about the video.
