These guys saved my life. These 2 versions were what made me listen to live versions of theirs for an hour, when i was just getting to know them and their music and I was in such a dark place. They continue being my angels to this day and I honestly can’t imagine my life without them. They’re a true wonder to so many people ❤️ thank you for this wonderful video!!!
This is a fan club for ONE OK ROCK and Japanese audiences - thank you everyone for watching and giving love to this wonderful band! Edit: I've also now learned the process for choosing the 1k 18 year olds to participate in the performance and I'm still impressed (a video audition, some practices with a choral director, and boom the real thing) and my statement stands (see the second video of We Are from the Japan Dome) Japanese crowds are the best.
this song video always managed to make me cry, the lyrics, the passion, the message. . i've been a long fans of one ok rock, but this one performance with all of this young people, always become my favouritr
@@alexray_music I´m crossing my fingers and saving to go to Japan on April to see them. I want to experience a Japanese crowd. As you said they are and amazing audience. Oh this version always makes me cry!
@@maryannbaxter73 honestly, I was looking at tickets to Tokyo as well - what venue would you suggest for a non-Japanese speaker? It really would just be magical. Im manifesting for you, love!!
Hi Alex-san Mariana-san I'll be waiting for you at the Tokyo Dome! Let's have fun with our Japanese fans!! It depends on the weather, but the Sakura🌸 are also in bloom. Your reaction is the best❣️ I enjoyed😆 From JPN🇯🇵
The people in this venue are strangers who have gathered from all over Japan for this day. Their voices in unison, their shoulders crossed, their heads nodded is very moving to me. I am grateful that I was able to meet again thanks to you for the opportunity to be shaken as a viewer. With love from Japan to you and your community
I saw them live in las vegas and Taka is just one of those performers who sounds so much better live. His voice carry’s so much emotion and his stage presence like you said is insane. I would kill to see them in an arena in japan though. The energy for these concerts is through the roof. An experience fs
These 1000 kids where handpicked by the band via audition tapes. They were broken up into groups with an instructor, given specific music to learn and practice prior to the performance. They were basically organized and trained as a choir. I'd say it turned out rather well.
I saw them in Orlando in September. Everyone in the crowd knew the words and sang when appropriate. It wasn’t that different from this other than it being a mixed crowd at the 1500 capacity Orlando HOB at Disney Springs.
OOR created "We Are" for 18 Festival. Historical moment in Japan. Changed voting right from 20 to 18. Which means Japan consider 18 is old enough/adult to make their own choice/ vote for their leaders to shape their own country.
@@powbobs I always wonder why Westerners claim they are the best crowd. Japanese fans and Western fans are friends who like the same band, right? You guys are like kids who claim that their momma loves them the most. most JP band says that each country reacts differently. They don't say which is better. It's always fun for any band to see different reactions. Bands usually say things that please their fans in the countries where they perform.
Thank you for reacting to the 18Fest version as well. So many people only hear the concert version. I’ve lost count how many times I heard/watched this and it still brings me to tears. The raw emotion of the crowd when they are singing is overwhelming. And you nailed it about respect. You could hear a pin drop when Taka was talking to them.
Thank YOU for watching! The 18Fest version was so beautiful and emotional, what an experience for those 1,000 beautiful people that they will never forget!
Fell in love with them in 2018 when I failed my uni entrance exam, and the song I heard was Kimishidai Ressha. The part "It's a wasting time for you blaming yourself" hit hard that time.
So happy that you love One OK Rock so much. They are truly fantastic as a band and their lives are unreal. In that last part of We Are with Taka running up to Tomoya, he was sick during that concert so his run was slower than usual but you couldn't tell that he was sick because he gave it his all. One OK Rock deserves more recognition because they are truly a great band.
@@alexray_music Taka's voice is fantastic and their interactions with the audience are miraculous. And, obviously, now I'm obsessing over this song. Because are you even a human being with a soul if you don't?

I’m glad you love One Ok Rock, they are great musicians and most Japanese musicians play more than one instrument.

They are the absolute best - no surgery, no outlandish costumes, no makeup, no phoniness just bad ass concerts!!!!❤
Wow!! Came here after watching your 1hr BTS reaction and I'm so glad I did. This was insane!! Amazing band..will be checking out more of there music. So glad I stumbled on your channel. We stan good music in my household and the fact that they are opening for MUSE..just wow!!
I love them so much. I saw them live in New York for the Luxury Disease tour, And I will be seeing them again with Muse as well for the will of the people tour. I absolutely agree!!! ONE OK ROCK Is taking the music scene by storm! They are paving the way for rock music by defining their sound in a unique way. One of the most talented bands I've ever seen live! Whether they're in a music studio making albums or playing live, you can tell they love their fans in each and every song that they make❤
Love your reaction, Alex! I am so excited to be going down this OOR rabbit hole with you. And, yes, I am happily part of the ONE OK ROCK fan club, lol. Can't wait to see more reactions! I've got some songs in mind.
Whenever Taka jumps, I just go "BOING?!" in my head. What a trooper to perform sick as well. I played in a band concert when I was sick with the flu, my face was beet red and I was dizzy the whole time. Much respect.
I’m watching this video because I’m subscribed to your channel and I have never heard of this band but I am having chills and trying to keep my tears in, I m so emotional watching this wow
thank you for watching!!! They're so emotive, it really translates no matter what kind of music you listen to or what language you speak. I'm so glad you liked them
They rehearsed a lot. This beautiful thousand teens did an amazing job. And then Taka can sing perfectly live while head banging, jumping....... He comands the stage. Singing together "We are" with a crowd of 60,000 is like a religious experience. This song trully connects souls. Yes, Tomoya is the cuttest in the world
About the crowd thing. People were chosen by One Ok Rock themselves. They sent in random videos. Some were painting, some were dancing etc. Then they got lessons with vocal coach who taught them their harmonies and they ended up in special performance. So controlling the crowd was different than the usual crowd. However Taka has the ability to control even large, random crowds as they do during their concerts. People are making circles and stuff, and no one gets hurt. It's a skill on itself. However, if we go back to this performance, the job behind this gig was enormous. And my respect for One Ok Rock grew even more when I saw the behind the scenes video. About the crowd singing their hearts out... They are very passionate about the song itself since OOR are almost like spokesmen for young generation. Their messages resonate with everyone there. Back again to We Are. They also have the acoustic version from "Day to Night Acoustic Sessions". I would suggest hearing that too. They are versatile artists for sure.
what touches me the most in this song is to see how it becomes a cry of war and strength against depression, Japan is one of the countries with the highest suicide rate in the world and it is incredible to see a new generation happy and full of hope!
i dont know you, we will probably never meet but i love you for having the same reaction as i had the first time listening to this masterpiece :) cheers from germany
I’ve been introduced to OOR through your Twitch streams and YT videos. I am so glad I found you and then by proxy. I am blown away by their presence, showmanship, talent and message. It’s a great song with the crowd being the cherry on top. Thanks to Dare for suggesting this!
Glad to find this reaction. I love this song so much and THIS VIDEO IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN LISTEN TO IT NOW! With the teen harmonies. So much chills every time I watch it. This is the definitive way to listen to this song for me!
Watching your reaction to OOR for the first time. Glad you see you're so into the band. They're the best! Can't wait for their Japan Tour. I'll be going to Tokyo and Saitama. Their shows in the States were awesome and I'm excited to hear songs that they didn't sing then.
some groups become popular by using media. they even hire part time job just to hit " like" and push " ranks" of music chart. but OOR actually rejected to use any media to sell them. their purpose is to make the world better, not to get money or awards.
Love your reaction so much!!! I just can't wait for the Tokyo Dome show on April 5th this year, can't believe I'm actually going to Japan again, it's gonna be amazing than 2018! Ambitions Japan Dome Tour 2018 was one of my personal favorite, I didn't like the wrist light when I received it entering Yafuoku Dome in Fukuoka but seeing all the wrist lights became galaxy just made me goosebumps for the entire show. That was the largest venue I've been to and I still can't believe I'm being able to go to Tokyo Dome this year when coronavirus is still around. It's 1247 days between the last time I saw them in Yokohama.
I love ONE OK ROCK. Some of my favorite Taka vocal performances is him covering Hello by Adele and when he performed Somewhere I belong with Mike Shinoda and the rest of Linkin Park at the Chester Bennington remembrance that they did back in 2017.
First time seeing this group. OMG. I'm a convert. How can I'm we in USA not hear about these groups on the East regularly? This should be on the radio a lot!!! I've been missing out
DUDE am RIGHT?!?! I only discovered them like two months ago because one of my twitch followers showed me and I’m forever thankful. Check out their performance of “Take what you want” the Japan Dome Tour version. You’ll lose your shit
Japan is pretty lax on advertising to anyone outside of the country. You have to be in the fandom to know about dates, album releases, etc. They've toured in the US multiple times!
I went to see One Ok Rock on the Luxury Disease NA tour and I'm not gonna lie, I was not having a good day. I drove 4 hours to Cleveland and admittedly was too excited to sleep properly beforehand, so I was running on maybe 2 hours of sleep and a monster. Then I stood in line for several hours. By the time the opening acts started I had been awake for over 12 hours. I was exhausted. They were good acts but by the time the second openers played their set I couldn't even move to jump around and no matter what I did I could not stop yawning (i felt so bad, they were good i was just. so tired). I was honestly scared I wouldn't even enjoy the show. Then the lights go down for the final time that night. The introduction starts playing, the band walks out, and it's like I was never tired in the first place. The crowd goes *ballistic*. They're singing along so loud it rocks the venue and I am too. Suddenly exhaustion is a foreign concept, something so far away from this moment, right now, even though I was about to die on my feet not 5 minutes earlier. It was the best concert I've ever been to. There is something out of this world about this band and I'm so happy to see more and more people like you find them too. Thank you so much for your reaction!!
That’s such a wonderful story, they’re transcendent and I’m so glad you got to see them live. I literally am so scared I’ll never get to. They’re energy and love for what they do is so contagious even through a screen!!
Listen to his various voices. It's so beautiful and powerful. ONE OK ROCK "Take What You Want"←This song is also completed with the singing voices of the fans.
I'm so lucky to have found your channel♪ There aren't many UA-camrs who understand the appeal of OOR as deeply as you do. I'm really excited to hear it😍I think OOR's best attraction is live performances where they create songs together with the audience. Of course, it has many other attractions as well. From that point of view, the recommended song ①Clock Strikes→In this song, TAKA uses magic to bring people watching UA-cam to the stadium. ②TakeWhatYouWant→Ambitions Japan Dome Tour 2018→The audience kept silence for a long time, and devoted love for more than 2 minutes in the necessary scene, the sense of unity on the stage is wonderful.
@@alexray_music Oh man, that moment of silence he did for Chester was heart wrenching. You're right, it's definitely POTENT. I might have teared up a little over it.
The bit on the rasp is very well explained (I was an unclean vocalist for a long while, knowing how much air to put out, and the amount of pressure required is a similar concept as I used a Vocal Fry). I'd be incredibly surprised, no, shocked, maybe even a little in awe if you haven't heard of Ado before (in awe because if you haven't, you'll get to experience something everyone wishes they could again and again, discovering Ado). If you hadn't (I'm assuming you have at this point), I'd highly recommend checking out Usseewa and the Live Version.
Yessssss I adore this band too ❤️ I've got floor tickets for Muse in Denver and was GUTTED to see OOR is only opening the first half of the tour, but I've already seen them live so I suppose I'll survive 🥺 hope you have a blast though!! agree that all of ambitions is crack, I would inject 20/20 and taking off straight into my veins if I could
I would love to hear your reaction to Stand out, fit in Orchestra version or Take what you want from Ambitions tour, this is the tour Taka was sick. He gave probably his most iconic performances of their songs and he started an hour late due to a bad throat.
I’ve not! I’ll definitely check that out… I think I might’ve caught the tail end of it on Blake’s stream because I remember them performing with a live orchestra. I bet it’s insane.
It is. But like you mentioned my all time favourite performance is take what you want, no matter how many times watch it gives me goosebumps. Stand up fit in, though is so relatable.
what the.... wasn't expecting this style---- definitely reminds me of another fave band of mine: Thirty Seconds to Mars.... I mean wow, and I've only hear like 30 seconds.
I discovered them in 2020 and I love them a lot! I hadn't seen those vids so Thank you so much! They remind me so much of Linkin Park 🥹💔❤️🩹 OOR + Muse!! oh my god someone fly me to the US 😭
Hola mama army. Mira esta banda me encanta yo amo el arte y la buena letra con mensajes positivos por eso amo su música y estos chicos ( ya no son tan chicos 😂) me encantan 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love OOR! I’ve been trying to get some friends to listen…kinda like catching asteroids with a butterfly net (may have pushed A LOT of Asian music which apparently doesn’t seem to find the enthusiastic response they deserve - BTS, Wakaggki Band, TXT, Epic High, Ez Mil, Jackson Wang, The Rose, Atarashii Gakko, Morrisette, Changmo-I gotta huge list). OOR has my heart & soothes my metal soul like no other metal band has in awhile. Could you give me a link to this? Cuz this is life altering.
Omg yes!! I’ll edit the description with the link (I should’ve been doing that anyway to give credit to the artists) thank you for watching, love!! Keep pushing good music 🤍
I love your reactions. By all means, more ONE OK ROCK reactions! We want to hear and see it! More pop music. More acoustic songs. More marvelous noisy rock. Your response and timing in the cool part of your song is donpical to my thoughts. Basically, we play rock, but we play it with strings in the background, or just acoustic instruments. The excellence of their playing technique becomes more apparent. I know the conversation has gone to talking about them, but I love your reactions too. I think reactions are all about timing and facial expressions. Comments are great, but I really like to see how you felt about the performance.

Although both versions are epic, I still prefer the 18 Fes version slightly more. You might also appreciate that there’s a preview of 18 Fes and it shows how they selected the thousand 18 year olds and how they rehearsed.
Honestly the 18 Fes and the emotions of the crowd just get me, like I get chills every time I hear the crowd vocals so I think I agree with you. Oh I didn't know there was a preview, I'd love to watch that!!!
Here’s a link to another version with the extended preview. Unfortunately there are no subtitles. I can’t find the full preview version anymore. It’s just the first 2 minutes of the video.. ua-cam.com/video/yB6O4kQwnWk/v-deo.html
@@brian0703 you can add subtile by change your close caption (CC) setting on top. It works so please give a try! When you know entire story...this 18 FES version makes even more special!
Great Reaction 🥰 Thanks for sharing this with us 💕 I called music like this Motivation -Song's. Because it moves me. And takes me with them through this musical journey. But... This can only be the second best motivational Song. Because my absolute favourite motivational Song still is - and forever will be: Queensryche - Take Hold of The Flame (the LIVE Version from 1984 in Tokyo (also Japan,huh? ^^) The vocalist name is : Geoff Tate. And the Gods are with him at this time! This e5 Note! This truly is how an e5 should SUNG & SOUND! Without a doubt... I've never ever anything like this. So he's the greatest Vocalist of the past 500 year's, isn't he? Btw.. He's a Baritone. It this video here makes you feel to cry... Wich is absolutely ok. Because that's it, what real music can do. And what it always was made for - from beginning on. Than Queensryche will make you explode. In a million pieces. But at the very end, they will put of all this pieces together again. So you will completely new and refreshed. Here we go... m.ua-cam.com/video/xk84dVq644k/v-deo.html
You know they rehearsed the 18th fest. performance, right? xd don’t want you to think they didn’t, OOR asked fans to send tapes of and about themselves, then they weote a song and choose and invited 1k fans. but it was premiere of this song, and fans had I think like 3 rehearsals woth a choir master. Still very impressive, they are not professional singers, and they did amazing ❤️ but it wasn’t just spontaneous xD well, I mean since it was a song written for a choir and fans know that - all OOR songs have pretty big audiences response - but this one especially xD I’m glad you mentioned it, they do really fill the whole stage! I’m sure good filmmaking and lighting crew plays a role, but in their japanese shows, the stage is always huge, and they never seem too small for it. And honestly, the stages for their festival/western shows, always seem too small, not able to contain them xD The stage presences is immaculate. And did you know this performance had like 50-60k ppl. Ah, someone asked if OOR tours in europe: they do indeed! They have Muse and Japan tours planned so far, but I expect Europe tour announcement this/next year. See you there 😄
Also, did someoneentioned? I’ve heard this concert was 0,5h late… bc Taka was sick that day, and it was late bc he was geting himself and his voice together. (Did they ever canceled a show, ever? Not even for a taifun*) - I mean, I’m all for Taka geting rest and geting healthy, but what’s done is done - could you imagine such performance while sick? 😲 *sealing of woch, you should totally watch OOR documentary movie “Flip a Coin”, and perhaps react to it 😄
Yeah DareToDream said they had rehearsals and chose 1k, but still wild that they could pull that off with just a few rehearsals and they weren't pros!!! I'll be going to see them with Muse in Chicago and hopefully Texas but I'm ILL I missed their actual North America Tour.
@@alexray_music won’t that be more expensive? 😅 ppl were reselling their concert tickets to small venues for like $300-400. Can’t imagine floor tickets. 🫣😂
Awesome... one of the best bands in the past few years. If you like One Ok Rock, try some other J-rock bands. Band-Maid, Lovebite, Nemophila are awesome plus they are all female rock/metal bands

Taka's voice and stage presence is undeniably magical! His my favorite since my teenage years...One OK Rock's songs gets better everytime
I pass for a difficult moment with health of my daughter, i'm 36 years old and she 12. this band help me in my darkest moments.

This performance is probably the closest I will ever get to having a religious experience. His voice is magic and the audience... just in awe of it

I love them so much. I saw them live in New York for the Luxury Disease tour, And I will be seeing them again with Muse as well for the will of the people tour.

The 18 fest is my favorite performance. Glad you reacted to it!!!
Thank you!!!
In the second one, Taka was sick and had a fever, and the concert was almost canceled, so you can really see Taka put everything into it!
right there with you girl. 67 years most amazing band i've heard in decades
Love your reaction, Alex! I am so excited to be going down this OOR rabbit hole with you. And, yes, I am happily part of the ONE OK ROCK fan club, lol. Can't wait to see more reactions! I've got some songs in mind.
You always have songs in mind ;) send me any and all recs - is the Japan Dome tour like recorded all in one place anywhere?
legit had me in tears at the end.. wow, just wow..
Found them in college and never turning back. They are a beautiful group ....their presence is amazing. I hope I'll be able to go to the next tour
Whenever Taka jumps, I just go "BOING?!" in my head.
What a trooper to perform sick as well. I played in a band concert when I was sick with the flu, my face was beet red and I was dizzy the whole time.
Much respect.
I’m watching this video because I’m subscribed to your channel and I have never heard of this band but I am having chills and trying to keep my tears in, I m so emotional watching this wow
thank you for watching!!! They're so emotive, it really translates no matter what kind of music you listen to or what language you speak. I'm so glad you liked them
I loved, loved, loved your reaction! 👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍 thank you 🤗😊
This is the most amazing performance of this song I've ever heard. It brings a tear to the eye. You titled this so well!!
They rehearsed a lot. This beautiful thousand teens did an amazing job. And then Taka can sing perfectly live while head banging, jumping....... He comands the stage. Singing together "We are" with a crowd of 60,000 is like a religious experience. This song trully connects souls. Yes, Tomoya is the cuttest in the world
lolol He really does love to jump. God I love them so much
Beautiful reaction ❤️❤️❤️
I've been listening to one ok rock since 2016 n still their songs always give me chills🥶❣️❣️❣️
Love them so much
About the crowd thing. People were chosen by One Ok Rock themselves. They sent in random videos. Some were painting, some were dancing etc. Then they got lessons with vocal coach who taught them their harmonies and they ended up in special performance. So controlling the crowd was different than the usual crowd. However Taka has the ability to control even large, random crowds as they do during their concerts. People are making circles and stuff, and no one gets hurt. It's a skill on itself. However, if we go back to this performance, the job behind this gig was enormous. And my respect for One Ok Rock grew even more when I saw the behind the scenes video.
About the crowd singing their hearts out... They are very passionate about the song itself since OOR are almost like spokesmen for young generation. Their messages resonate with everyone there.
Back again to We Are. They also have the acoustic version from "Day to Night Acoustic Sessions". I would suggest hearing that too. They are versatile artists for sure.
what touches me the most in this song is to see how it becomes a cry of war and strength against depression, Japan is one of the countries with the highest suicide rate in the world and it is incredible to see a new generation happy and full of hope!
I saw them in September in Orlando.
The crowd was completely respectful.
I was shocked.
That makes me so happy
Wow that version made me cry
Dude right? Straight chills.
i dont know you, we will probably never meet but i love you for having the same reaction as i had the first time listening to this masterpiece :) cheers from germany
We are now friends through OOR 🥰 sending love right back
YES YES YES YES!!!! They are AMAZING!!!!!
I’ve been introduced to OOR through your Twitch streams and YT videos. I am so glad I found you and then by proxy. I am blown away by their presence, showmanship, talent and message. It’s a great song with the crowd being the cherry on top. Thanks to Dare for suggesting this!
Dare doing the lord’s work 😉
Glad to find this reaction. I love this song so much and THIS VIDEO IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN LISTEN TO IT NOW! With the teen harmonies. So much chills every time I watch it. This is the definitive way to listen to this song for me!
One of these participant tweeted,
OOK did short time spcial live fgr those young guys(did not on air) after two times recordings of ''WE ARE'.
Watching your reaction to OOR for the first time. Glad you see you're so into the band. They're the best! Can't wait for their Japan Tour. I'll be going to Tokyo and Saitama. Their shows in the States were awesome and I'm excited to hear songs that they didn't sing then.
That’s so exciting you get to see them live!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 you’re going to have the best time 🥰
I love them…have seen them live 4 times in Seattle
This was the song that made me love OOR❤ as a young adult navigating how to be a grown up with responsibilities, this song resonated with me so much ❤
some groups become popular by using media. they even hire part time job just to hit " like" and push " ranks" of music chart. but OOR actually rejected to use any media to sell them. their purpose is to make the world better, not to get money or awards.
I love them so much
Love your reaction so much!!! I just can't wait for the Tokyo Dome show on April 5th this year, can't believe I'm actually going to Japan again, it's gonna be amazing than 2018! Ambitions Japan Dome Tour 2018 was one of my personal favorite, I didn't like the wrist light when I received it entering Yafuoku Dome in Fukuoka but seeing all the wrist lights became galaxy just made me goosebumps for the entire show. That was the largest venue I've been to and I still can't believe I'm being able to go to Tokyo Dome this year when coronavirus is still around. It's 1247 days between the last time I saw them in Yokohama.
OH MY GOD YOURE GOING THATS SO AWESOME!!!! I want a full report!!!
And that’s so awesome you saw them in 2018!! That’s insane!!! So happy for you!!!
I love ONE OK ROCK. Some of my favorite Taka vocal performances is him covering Hello by Adele and when he performed Somewhere I belong with Mike Shinoda and the rest of Linkin Park at the Chester Bennington remembrance that they did back in 2017.
The choir harmonies 😍. CHILLS. I also just bought tickets to see Muse just to see ONE OK ROCK 1st. I don't even know who Muse is.
I will admit I did the the same thing 😅😅😅
First time seeing this group. OMG. I'm a convert. How can I'm we in USA not hear about these groups on the East regularly? This should be on the radio a lot!!! I've been missing out
DUDE am RIGHT?!?! I only discovered them like two months ago because one of my twitch followers showed me and I’m forever thankful. Check out their performance of “Take what you want” the Japan Dome Tour version. You’ll lose your shit
Japan is pretty lax on advertising to anyone outside of the country. You have to be in the fandom to know about dates, album releases, etc. They've toured in the US multiple times!
I went to see One Ok Rock on the Luxury Disease NA tour and I'm not gonna lie, I was not having a good day. I drove 4 hours to Cleveland and admittedly was too excited to sleep properly beforehand, so I was running on maybe 2 hours of sleep and a monster. Then I stood in line for several hours. By the time the opening acts started I had been awake for over 12 hours. I was exhausted. They were good acts but by the time the second openers played their set I couldn't even move to jump around and no matter what I did I could not stop yawning (i felt so bad, they were good i was just. so tired). I was honestly scared I wouldn't even enjoy the show.
Then the lights go down for the final time that night. The introduction starts playing, the band walks out, and it's like I was never tired in the first place. The crowd goes *ballistic*. They're singing along so loud it rocks the venue and I am too. Suddenly exhaustion is a foreign concept, something so far away from this moment, right now, even though I was about to die on my feet not 5 minutes earlier.
It was the best concert I've ever been to. There is something out of this world about this band and I'm so happy to see more and more people like you find them too. Thank you so much for your reaction!!
That’s such a wonderful story, they’re transcendent and I’m so glad you got to see them live. I literally am so scared I’ll never get to. They’re energy and love for what they do is so contagious even through a screen!!
Listen to his various voices. It's so beautiful and powerful. ONE OK ROCK "Take What You Want"←This song is also completed with the singing voices of the fans.
I discovered them in 2015. I am just waiting for a new concert schedule in my country. I have the tix, and hopefully I can finally see them this year!
Manifesting it for you, love!!!!
Japan’s Treasure Taka！I love One Ok Rock!! 👍👍🏾👍👍🏾👍
I'm so lucky to have found your channel♪ There aren't many UA-camrs who understand the appeal of OOR as deeply as you do. I'm really excited to hear it😍I think OOR's best attraction is live performances where they create songs together with the audience. Of course, it has many other attractions as well. From that point of view, the recommended song ①Clock Strikes→In this song, TAKA uses magic to bring people watching UA-cam to the stadium. ②TakeWhatYouWant→Ambitions Japan Dome Tour 2018→The audience kept silence for a long time, and devoted love for more than 2 minutes in the necessary scene, the sense of unity on the stage is wonderful.
Clock strikes in Ambitions tour have him scream for 20 sec straight that was sooo good. And Idk where, he made it to 29 sec! Damn
@@Noone_32lwt
That live is really great! TAKA used magic! ? ^_^ I'm also a fan of his mom 🧡
One ok rock the one who better hear or watch in live performance. Taka have stable voice even he sing with little jump.
I'm so glad you pulled up the live performance in the dome. It's probably one of the best live performances they've ever done.
The Dome performances are just unmatched. I watch so many of them all the time. I think Take What You want is still my fave 😅 I’m a basic bitch
@@alexray_music Oh man, that moment of silence he did for Chester was heart wrenching. You're right, it's definitely POTENT. I might have teared up a little over it.
The bit on the rasp is very well explained (I was an unclean vocalist for a long while, knowing how much air to put out, and the amount of pressure required is a similar concept as I used a Vocal Fry). I'd be incredibly surprised, no, shocked, maybe even a little in awe if you haven't heard of Ado before (in awe because if you haven't, you'll get to experience something everyone wishes they could again and again, discovering Ado). If you hadn't (I'm assuming you have at this point), I'd highly recommend checking out Usseewa and the Live Version.
love them agree... want see them
your reaction is the best🔥🔥🔥
I've been a fan of them since 2008 and have seen them twice. I love OOR!
Just love this band, i hope you'll do more one ok rock videos, maybe cry out or kanzen kanaku dreamer?
For sure doing more OOR!! I'm one impulse away from ordering all of their Japanese CDs
This version is woooowwwww
Yessssss I adore this band too ❤️ I've got floor tickets for Muse in Denver and was GUTTED to see OOR is only opening the first half of the tour, but I've already seen them live so I suppose I'll survive 🥺
hope you have a blast though!! agree that all of ambitions is crack, I would inject 20/20 and taking off straight into my veins if I could
Yasss same!!! And hopefully we’ll get a US tour again soon, I’m manifesting it for you, love 🥹
my favourite japanese rock band!!!! You should watch "Mighty Long Fall" live, that one made my head bop lol
at Yokahama stadium
Definitely checking that out
Awesome reaction as always!
Thank you, my love :)
I would love to hear your reaction to Stand out, fit in Orchestra version or Take what you want from Ambitions tour, this is the tour Taka was sick. He gave probably his most iconic performances of their songs and he started an hour late due to a bad throat.
Taka is just one of those people who makes you feel like you can do anything. ❤
TAKA‘s parents are very famous ENKA singer. Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori.
oh... I've never heard of this band. I'll gladly watch to see what this is about
Fight the night
Take what you want
Take What You want from the Amitions Tour runs through my veins, it's ethereal
Japanese crowds are special they know when to be completely silent and they even clap
One Ok Rock yepppy 🤩🤩
Love One OK Rock. Have you watched the I am King Live performance with the orchestra? Also you should check out The Rose if haven’t already.
I’ve not! I’ll definitely check that out… I think I might’ve caught the tail end of it on Blake’s stream because I remember them performing with a live orchestra. I bet it’s insane.
It is. But like you mentioned my all time favourite performance is take what you want, no matter how many times watch it gives me goosebumps. Stand up fit in, though is so relatable.
ありがとう😋👍🇯🇵
what the.... wasn't expecting this style---- definitely reminds me of another fave band of mine: Thirty Seconds to Mars.... I mean wow, and I've only hear like 30 seconds.
This video got me to subscribe… I love both BTS and OOR…
I discovered them in 2020 and I love them a lot! I hadn't seen those vids so Thank you so much!
They remind me so much of Linkin Park 🥹💔❤️🩹
OOR + Muse!! oh my god someone fly me to the US 😭
Army here, I'm gonna check this band out now! ☺️
YASSS I LOVE ARMY
PLS I'm debating getting a Ticket to MUSE concert in NY just so I can see One Ok Rock. lol you are so REAL for hoping on a plane to Chicago.
GO. DO IT. I ENDORSE THE DECISION.
@@alexray_music I’m gonna be alone but I’m doing it for sure !
Hola mama army. Mira esta banda me encanta yo amo el arte y la buena letra con mensajes positivos por eso amo su música y estos chicos ( ya no son tan chicos 😂) me encantan 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is epic
I love OOR! I’ve been trying to get some friends to listen…kinda like catching asteroids with a butterfly net (may have pushed A LOT of Asian music which apparently doesn’t seem to find the enthusiastic response they deserve - BTS, Wakaggki Band, TXT, Epic High, Ez Mil, Jackson Wang, The Rose, Atarashii Gakko, Morrisette, Changmo-I gotta huge list). OOR has my heart & soothes my metal soul like no other metal band has in awhile.
Could you give me a link to this? Cuz this is life altering.
Omg yes!! I’ll edit the description with the link (I should’ve been doing that anyway to give credit to the artists) thank you for watching, love!! Keep pushing good music 🤍
I love your reactions.
By all means, more ONE OK ROCK reactions! We want to hear and see it!
More pop music. More acoustic songs. More marvelous noisy rock.
Your response and timing in the cool part of your song is donpical to my thoughts.
Basically, we play rock, but we play it with strings in the background, or just acoustic instruments. The excellence of their playing technique becomes more apparent.
I know the conversation has gone to talking about them, but I love your reactions too. I think reactions are all about timing and facial expressions. Comments are great, but I really like to see how you felt about the performance.

Although both versions are epic, I still prefer the 18 Fes version slightly more. You might also appreciate that there’s a preview of 18 Fes and it shows how they selected the thousand 18 year olds and how they rehearsed.
Honestly the 18 Fes and the emotions of the crowd just get me, like I get chills every time I hear the crowd vocals so I think I agree with you. Oh I didn't know there was a preview, I'd love to watch that!!!
Here’s a link to another version with the extended preview. Unfortunately there are no subtitles. I can’t find the full preview version anymore. It’s just the first 2 minutes of the video.. ua-cam.com/video/yB6O4kQwnWk/v-deo.html
@@brian0703 you can add subtile by change your close caption (CC) setting on top. It works so please give a try! When you know entire story...this 18 FES version makes even more special!
Best version by far...
look at those fans singing their heart out and sounding like that.. is that really them or like a choir background lol
Great Reaction 🥰
Thanks for sharing this with us 💕
I called music like this Motivation -Song's.
Because it moves me.
And takes me with them through this musical journey.
But...
This can only be the second best motivational Song.
Because my absolute favourite motivational Song still is - and forever will be: Queensryche - Take Hold of The Flame (the LIVE Version from 1984 in Tokyo (also Japan,huh? ^^)
The vocalist name is : Geoff Tate.
And the Gods are with him at this time!
This e5 Note!
This truly is how an e5 should SUNG & SOUND!
Without a doubt...
I've never ever anything like this.
So he's the greatest Vocalist of the past 500 year's, isn't he?
Btw..
He's a Baritone.
It this video here makes you feel to cry...
Wich is absolutely ok.
Because that's it, what real music can do.
And what it always was made for - from beginning on.
Than Queensryche will make you explode.
In a million pieces.
But at the very end, they will put of all this pieces together again.
So you will completely new and refreshed.
Here we go...

Renegades - acoustic version - AMAZING! ❤❤❤
You know they rehearsed the 18th fest. performance, right? xd don’t want you to think they didn’t, OOR asked fans to send tapes of and about themselves, then they weote a song and choose and invited 1k fans. but it was premiere of this song, and fans had I think like 3 rehearsals woth a choir master. Still very impressive, they are not professional singers, and they did amazing ❤️ but it wasn’t just spontaneous xD well, I mean since it was a song written for a choir and fans know that - all OOR songs have pretty big audiences response - but this one especially xD
I’m glad you mentioned it, they do really fill the whole stage! I’m sure good filmmaking and lighting crew plays a role, but in their japanese shows, the stage is always huge, and they never seem too small for it. And honestly, the stages for their festival/western shows, always seem too small, not able to contain them xD The stage presences is immaculate. And did you know this performance had like 50-60k ppl.
Ah, someone asked if OOR tours in europe: they do indeed! They have Muse and Japan tours planned so far, but I expect Europe tour announcement this/next year. See you there 😄
Also, did someoneentioned? I’ve heard this concert was 0,5h late… bc Taka was sick that day, and it was late bc he was geting himself and his voice together. (Did they ever canceled a show, ever? Not even for a taifun*) - I mean, I’m all for Taka geting rest and geting healthy, but what’s done is done - could you imagine such performance while sick? 😲
*sealing of woch, you should totally watch OOR documentary movie “Flip a Coin”, and perhaps react to it 😄
Yeah DareToDream said they had rehearsals and chose 1k, but still wild that they could pull that off with just a few rehearsals and they weren't pros!!! I'll be going to see them with Muse in Chicago and hopefully Texas but I'm ILL I missed their actual North America Tour.
Don’t worry, there will be more US tours 😄 it’s not like their last album, I don’t think xD and even before next one, probably m some festivals etc ☺️
I love your reaction.
React the other version please
Do you know they have a song with 5sos called Take What You Want. It’s really great
Yes!! I love that version and the Ambitions tour Japan Dome version!!!
I wanted to go to their concert with Muse in Chicago too but I just couldn’t justify paying $400+ for a single ticket. 😅
Dude get floor resales and come camp in line with me!
@@alexray_music won’t that be more expensive? 😅 ppl were reselling their concert tickets to small venues for like $300-400. Can’t imagine floor tickets. 🫣😂
@@alexray_musicyou'll have so much fun seeing oor even for opening! i saw them in december they are so good
I appreciate it
IM NOT AFRAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID
Awesome... one of the best bands in the past few years. If you like One Ok Rock, try some other J-rock bands. Band-Maid, Lovebite, Nemophila are awesome plus they are all female rock/metal bands
