"One Piece" Soundtrack

So there is a TV show in Japan called "One Piece", which is based on one of the most valuable works of fiction in all of human history (something like $45 billion dollars of sales, and 490 million copies sold of just one volume, out of about 100 volumes total). The sound track was recorded by a live orchestra, and it's absolutely fantastic. Check out this video, starting at 2:16, and also check out 27:53 for some trombones:



How about this one? Check out 25:14 for more trombones:



There is a TON of music in this show, and a LOT more sound tracks, all with real musician and instruments, and the trombones are absolutely ripping the entire time. The bass trombone in particular is just blasting the entire time they have a line, and it sounds great.

Anyways, this show is among the most watched pieces of media in all of history, and I just wanted to point out that it is worth a watch, especially if you have kids, for free on Crunchyroll. The characters are great, you hate every bad guy, the music is great, the moments where you get the feels are great:

The jokes are hilarious:

And I want to know how they rip so hard on them trombones!

Anyone done any work in a film score or soundtrack like this where you are required to just overblow every note but make it sound good? What instrument and mouthpiece would you choose, especially for those bass parts?

I must've gotten them wrong. I'll go back and do a deep dive again. There are some absolutely ripping bass lines

There was a pretty good one after the time stamp on the second soundtrack.

Were these live or synth?

Live! The horns rock the entire soundtrack. There are some songs with obvious syne synths, but the horns and orchestra are real. 1996-7 was when they recorded. Pretty sure it was Fuji tv studio musicians and their orchestra
