ONE OK ROCK｜The first and the best! Japan’s world-class artist

ONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK is a four-piece rock band formed in 2005 that is active in Japan and abroad.

The members are Taka(vocalist), Toru(guitarist), Ryota(bassist), and Tomoya(drummer).

They are now famous among Japanese people, but they are also one of Japan’s top artists, and are expanding their activities beyond Japan to the rest of the world.

Starting with a solo-live-performance in 2013 at 12 locations in 11 European and Asian countries, he has been expanding overseas, and in 2017, the international version of his Ambitions album reached #106 on the BILLBOARD 200.

And it also reached #19 on the DIGITAL ALBUMS download chart and #2 on the HARD ROCK ALBUMS.

ONE OK ROCK has a musical style that has a strong message from the youth, but also has an appeal that shakes the hearts of not only the youth, but also adults and people overseas.

Here are a few songs from the band that you can’t miss.

The first song is 「完全感覚Dreamer」(Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer) .

It’s from the album “Ambitions” and is one of the most-played songs on their live shows. This song was released after the band members left the band and went on hiatus, and it shows their strong commitment. The lyrics, 「カベをヤミをこれからぶっ壊していくさ!!」(Kabe wo Yami wo Buchiyabutte Ikusa!!) which means “We’re going to break through the wall and darkness from now on! “The lyrics,  must be resonating as a shout-out to all those who challenge themselves.

One more song that you can’t talk about ONE OK ROCK without this song is “Wherever you are” .

This is a song that garnered a lot of attention over the five years since its release, when it was used as a commercial song for NTT docomo.

ONE OK ROCK is the “origin and summit” of the Japanese rock scene.

The day when they will reach the top of the world’s rock scene may not be far off.
