LOL so this post is just me being obsessive and telling you something random like i warned
now I'm gonna introduce your little inexperienced minds to the world of ONE OK ROCK
here's a glimps of them
they are a 5 member band called ONE OK ROCK and they are from JAPAN
they fuse the genres of music of emo, rock, heavy meatal into onw and this, my friends is why
........
they are awesome i must say and if you haven't heard of them, you better soon
and here they are
say hi boys
FUNNY FACT
the band's name is One Ok Rock and guess how they became that?...........
it comes from "one o'clock" and this was their bands practice time at the weekends.
however the Japanese language showed no distinction between r's and l's
so being clever people, they changed "o'clock" to "o'crock" (or "o'krock), which they later separated to become "ok rock"
so hence forth ONE OK ROCK
now for the members -
(from left to right)
(Ryota, Taka, Alex, Toru and Tomoya)
~This is an old picture for it shows them still as a 5 member band ~
TAKA - main singer
TORU - leader and main guitarist
TOMOYA - drummer
RYOTA - bass guitarist
<(past members)>
ALEX - guitarist (left for certain reasons.........)
TOMO - the original drummer (left for an acting job)
i love this band for they are fun, awesome and they are just ... cool
they also have such a connection with themselves, the music and the audience
you have to belive me intill the end
now first TAKA the main singer
my friend loves him the most
he was born as Takahiro Morita but goes by his stage name of "TAKA" and first debuted with a band called NEWS and sang with them for a year. he later moved on from them to "CHIVALRY OF MUSIC" (2004)
but then ended up with ONE OK ROCK (where he belongs)
chivalry of music
he also had sang with SIMPLE PLAN from america, he sang as a ft. for their Japanese version of summer paradise with him singing in Japanese and also helped "PAY MONEY TO MY PAIN" with the singing for the main singer died. They did their tribute album "GENE"
now some TAKA moments
(ok ok TAKA we are all excited )
next TORU
one of my favorites
now he is the leader of the group even though he isn't the oldest
he is the main guitarist but also contributes with some vocals when needed
he formed the band in 2005 but before that, from being a high school student he had always wanted to form a band. he started with a hip hop dance group called "HEADS" and was joined by RYOTA for he was a member also.
but now they are still friends in one ok rock
now some TORU moments
hello!!!!
ROCK ON!!!!
now tomoya
he is adorable
he is the drummer of one ok rock and i must say, he has talent
he was not the original drummer for he decided he would leave for an acting job, (TOMO)
tomoya was the drummer for their music but was later officially named as their newest member
here's your chance to shine tomoya
sorry i know thar was cheesy
and finally Ryota, the BASS of the group
now he was the second person to know about the formation of the band and was also Toru's high school friend also another member of heads together with Toru.
Toru being a good friend apparently "told" him to learn the bass so they could follow their dream of their band
now take the stage Ryota
now, these guys are amazing as i said before
they are supportive
emotional
funny
and many other things
they even met Avril Lavigne
(it was said that Toru had a little thing for her!"
and they have their own hand shake
as you can see their team work as a group is just heart warming, listen (read) to these words of sentiments to each other
the music they produce is just ......... you have to listen to them
here's some of the song titles......
hopefully you've come to love them as well with me and my friend
say goodbye guys :)
