How can we keep up with natureâs abundant diversity?
When did dogs develop âhairâ rather than fur? Clearly this is an adaptation that is really helpful to the pet owner with allergies.
Kudos to whoever came up with this brilliant change! Not every breed has made this leap but the âhairyâ ones are easy to spot.
If we pay attention, we see how dissimilar our world (and the creatures in it) is.âŚ
 Howâs it going? Iâm sore, because we did laps at Tae Kwon Do last night (10 push-ups and 0 crunches, and then a lap, decrease by 1 push-up and add 2 crunches every lap until itâs 0 push-ups and 20 crunches). Itâs been a while since I did a workout that intense, so Iâm feeling it. This might be a shorter post, because Iâm sore and I donât know what to say, but I REALLY like this song.
 So, letâs get to it!
 ONE-WORLDď˝sekai no minna-san konnichiwa by Mayumi Tanaka is a character song of Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece.
Yes, this is a One Piece character song.
 And just so you know, Iâm planning to do a One Piece character song special, but Iâm gonna wait until they stop coming out with new songs. (Letâs go see Master Cat Viper XD)
 And this isnât my favorite Luffy character song, so it wonât be on that list anyway. Iâm in the clear. XD
 Iâll go more in depth on One Piece for the character song special, so weâll just talk about the song right now.
 So, while I was at my internship today, I had a desire to listen to some One Piece character songs. I listened to all of them on Tra-guyâs playlist on Youtube. But before I got to the playlist, I saw that there was a Straw Hat Version of this song called ONE-WORLD. I told myself Iâd probably hear it in the playlist, and I was right⌠but not.
 Because it was the Luffy character song in the playlist. And I didnât know what to expect, but it definitely wasnât what I got.
 And what I got was this song, and it makes me feel so happy.
 Compared to the other Luffy character songs Iâve heard, this is completely different.
 I mean, it starts off sounding like something from the animated Hercules movie with itâs gospel-soul feel and backup chorus. It blew me out of the water. And I had this stupid grin while I was listening to it.. and weâre not gonna say how many times I listened to it today. XD
 So, before I go any further, this is a really happy song. I mean, hello is said in multiple languages!
 The Youtube user Artur New World commented that this the song's main theme is that One Piece has no boundaries or racism.
 And there is stuff like that in One Piece, but the idea is that everyone should get along as ONE WORLD. The Straw Hats fight that kind of discrimination.
 Now, regarding the details of the song. First, Mayumi Tanaka always sounds happy and energetic singing Luffy character songs. Second, I thought the gospel-soul feel would be clichĂŠ, but it works so well. I mean, Hercules is a good movie, especially the music⌠although our choir sang âZero to Heroâ too many times. XD
 The instrumentation is so good. The backup chorus has good harmonies and is in sync. The bass is kicking the funk out of my ear drums. (Linda: What?) (It doesnât have to make sense, Linda. XD) The claps bring so much energy. The percussion section is diverse and well utilized. The melody is interesting and easy to sing along to. There are some interesting rhythm choices in the singing and rhythm section. And I love the pitch bending before everyone sings âJUMP!â (Itâs so good!) .. oh, I just heard chimes!

 Oh yeah, I mentioned the Straw Hats Version before.
 Itâs even better, because it just sounds like the Straw Hat Pirates hanging out and singing a song. And this song just works so well for a group to sing it.

 And by the way, I absolutely want to do a collab cover of this song. Itâs so good. I listened to it more than 10 times today⌠oh shoot, I wasnât supposed to tell you that.
 Editor, will you remove that?
 Editor: why donât you just move your mouse and highlight the text and press âDeleteâ?
 No, thatâs too much work. Nevermind, then. Itâs fine.
 Anyway, I will cover this song at some point!!
 IT WILL HAPPEN!!

The endless calls for "unity!" and the media's going on about a "world without borders" not a chance happening: it is leading somewhere. Does the reader know where it is leading?
