Sadly the best 18Fes Version is blocked on UA-cam: vimeo.com/499868884 ( ONE OK ROCK 『We are ～18 Fes ver.～』 with English/Japanese by Karyuudo Fansubs) @@Doug_Hannon The NHK Version is not Reactor friendly, no Subs and the Ending of the Show is Cut. Only good thing is the 1080p Quality.
Taka's voice is incredible. I have seen them live twice and they are amazing performers, the stage chemistry is unreal. I discovered them thru kpop as Korea and Korean idols love them.
They love and also envy him. His vocal is something that can only be obtained through harsh throat singing method. Which is completely banned in Korea music industry.
@@Arieswithhydrocephalus oh yes, I knew this, I just didn't know that Avril's sister married ONE OK ROCK's member 😁 Their collab song is great I luv them!
One Ok Rock is so good!! I started listening to them last year. Some of my favorites are Hard To Love, Wherever You Are, Stand Out Fit In, Waisted Nights, Renegades, and Broken Heart Of Gold. Their album Ambitions is what got me into them, so I’d definitely check out that entire album.
No cap but oneokrock is the best live ive ever been to, their music live is always better than the digital versions. Emotions, explosiveness and the pure power of their music can be felt so much more directly, and almost piercing during their live. One of the bands that i will always visit live no matter what
DUDE! THANK YOU! One OK Rock has been my band since forever! I'd definitely recommend either The Beginning or Clock Strikes next. amazing in the studio, amazing live!
You picked out that they want the message to 'be yourself'. You're right! Now imagine growing up in a country like Japan where you have high expectations to be someone you might not wanna be, and you aren't given much support or choice to follow what YOU yourself want. This song is really powerful especially knowing Taka's history and expectations of following society norms in Japan... His parents were musicians too and did not want him to pursue it because they knew how difficult it would be. Taka went through a lot to get where he is today, so I feel this song really speaks out to the new generation of young japanese people trying to figure out themselves. In America, we are taught from young that individualism is important and to stand up for what we believe in, but in Japan and most of Asia you are taught to follow the structure set for you that everyone else follows. That's why I LOVE this song and the message he is giving to youth all over the world. I have been following him since his J-Pop days in the boyband NEWS and when ONE OK ROCK originally formed. I watched him grow up along with myself (we're similar age) and now I'm happy to see he's finally found himself and is a positive influence on the new generation. Great reaction vid btw!
AHHHH ANOTHER ONE OK ROCK REACTION FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE UA-cam MUSIC REACTORS….AHHHH. Great reaction, thanks for taking the time to react and analyze one of my favorite songs from my favorite Jrock band!
Taka’s always had a powerful, not meaning loud, voice. I’ve been listening to One OK Rock since they first started and the whole band just keeps getting better and better. “Mighty Long Fall” and “Renegades” are really good songs too. (^~^) 💕🦋
One OK Rock is AMAZING live. Taka has one of the best voices in the business (and a very good songwriter - he writes most of their songs). Their concerts, in huge stadiums in Japan, are consistently sold out. But true professionals, they perform just as good in small venues when they come to America. I wish they can get the kind of attendance that K-pop group BTS gets whenever they perform in the United States. They were supposed to do a US tour with Linkin Park before Chester passed. That would have given a massive boost to their popularity.
You said the video seems a little over produced and I'm not sure exactly what part of it makes you say that, but this is actually what they sound like live. They're usually pretty flawless. Taka was actually a bit sick that day which is why he sounds raspier than usual, but as you mention, it gives the song more feelings of passion and rawness. If you want to hear more of the instruments, check out "NO SCARED" or "Deeper Deeper" at Yokohama Stadium. Tomoya's Drum Ver. of "Taking Off" is excellent too if you want to focus on the drummer. I recommend you listen to "Mighty Long Fall" at 35xxxv Japan Tour (Saitama Super Arena) or "The Beginning" at Eye of the Storm Japan Tour (Saitama Super Arena). Please do put up your video of your first reaction to them! 😊
I think the video could definitely be considered over produced compared to live performances by other artists. Not in terms of the music because they do sound great live, but they obviously produced the making of this video from cameras to lighting and direction. I don't think it's throwing shade so much as facts haha
@@panpacifice Well it's professionally shot and mixed, sure, but it's not like they edited the audio to make the band sound differently than what they actually sound like on stage. This was for a home release of the concert and I don't think anyone would buy it if it looked like a fan cam, you know? So it's definitely produced bit I don't think I would say it's "over" produced, which makes it sound bad (though I know that's not what was meant when it was said).
@@crosswithyou "Not in terms of the music" is what I said, right? But we've all seen live performances, they don't sound like a music video, the sound warps in a big space, there's background noise around us, the speakers are placed at set locations. Just because they produced the music so that it sounded consistent for the video doesn't mean they're not already amazing.
I saw them live with my little brother once, they are one of his favorites, so I took him for his 18th birthday! It was amazing, and I definitely recommend their other songs.
The question now is do i want you to react to this song again, or do i ask for another song entirely. Decisions decisions 😅 i'm glad you liked it! I've seen them live and i kiiinda get what you're saying about it being kinda over produced, since they are absolutely phenomenal live. They did a lot of jamming and justhad fun on stage in finland, and i was living for it. Taka is an amazing singer and the band just goes well together. AND THEY'RE ALL HILARIOUS.
You should check out ‘wherever you are’ live of them.. that’s how I got into one ok rock spent hours to figure out who they are and checking out their music. Loved every second of it
YASS I live for this. I've been to one of their concerts and I love their live concerts more that the cd omg jshdkwhw mighty long fall yokohama stadium my absolute fav between the cd and live. Also, their orchestra concerts are top top. I've been listening to them since 2013
Their live performance of "Take Me to the Top" is more on instrument based, plus vocal and scream. Try to check it out if you want. Ending story and Jibun rock are also great live performance. OOR music is more on empowering youth, hope and inspiration. Their lyrics are really great in inspiring youth and people in general. Taka is also the greatest vocalist that I've ever heard when it comes to live. He is great live than studio one.
I'm typically not into boy bands but this guys vocals are really good and carry the song. Has an anthem rock quality. Something I would play while doing stuff around the house.
This is NOT a boy band. They are a rock band not an idol group. Their concerts are amazing and as you can see the crowds are huge! An outdoor concert they did at Nagisan, Japan had 110,00 people attend!
I've seen them live a few times and honestly, they amaze me every time. Instrumentals and vocals are just as good -- if not better -- than the recorded track. Should also see the 18FES live for this song -- it hits different, and there are 1000 18 y/o who participate in the accompaniment.
I've seen them live... four times? They are one of the *best* live musicians I have ever seen! My friend says they're in her top three. She says the best live performer she's ever seen is Miyavi, and his next US show is in September and I can't wait to see what she means!
Oh man you're in for a ride! Their whole discography is really great! I found out One ok rock through Ruruoni Kenshin (they did the soundtrack of the movie series). Hope you enjoy their other songs too! ❤️ You can check out Clock strikes, The Beginning, Mighty Long Fall, Heartache (plus the Heartache studio jam version one too), Bombs away, I was King.
If you like Taka's singing voice, I suggest you to check his Adele cover "Hello". The video is available at the official site of ONE OK ROCK, but here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/5GQnC6UUsZw/v-deo.html You will be amazed to see how good a vocalist he really is.
Sometimes i am listening "One OK ROCK"... It´s not the same like Band-Maid, but from time to time i love it to hear Taka, he is a great singer and they are not writing songs, they are writing anthems/hymns. So that´s cool sometimes, but not all the time, at least for me :)
I don’t know this band well, but there’s a pretty good song they did from the final Warped Tour. Very early-to-mid 00s vibes. Here it is. ua-cam.com/video/LvGGrWFsrhk/v-deo.html
One ok rock !!!! I love them so much, I’ve seen them 3 times live, those were prov the best convents I’ve been to. I recomend lier , and etcetera live, in their case live versions are always better
One OK Rock usually doesn't get to technical. They're mainstream rock. Good songs but, I do tend to get bored listening to them, unlike with Band-Maid, Lovebites etc.
The band name is pronounced One O' Crock, intentionally punning on One o'clock. If you pronounce it one O.K. rock, the pun is lost and the name no longer makes any sense.
Sure, but even Taka says "one okay rock" when he's speaking in English. It's not a wrong pronunciation. It sounds weird if you say it the Japanese way when you are speaking in English.
@@crosswithyou is it weird to read it s One Ok Rock ? English is not my first language that’s why I don’t know what sounds weird in english. When I’m talking with an american person if I say it as One Ok Rock (like just ok not okey sounds like oc) is it weird?
@@aliciapark6241 It sounds a little unusual but not as weird as "Bump of Chicken" or even "System of a Down" or "Fall Out Boy". Most English-speaking people have never heard Japanese music (unless they have seen anime) and can't name any Japanese bands anyway, so they don't know.
@@aliciapark6241When you are speaking an English sentence and say the band's name with the Japanese pronunciation, it's kind of like speaking English and then all of a sudden throwing in a Spanish word. It doesn't flow well and sounds awkward.
Do not mention this band with KPop! KPop is crap, these guys are an awesome band and Taka is an amazing vocalist. Trust me, they don’t need to take “tips” from KPop groups. Their concerts are high energy and most of their songs have deep meanings unlike KPop which is nonsense. Just because you’re infatuated with KPop doesn’t mean everyone is.
If you guys are into One OK Rock I'll post the first reaction I did on here soon too... Right now it's a patreon exclusive.
This is the live version of "We Are" that you want to watch. Just trust me. ua-cam.com/video/yB6O4kQwnWk/v-deo.html

Yes please...
react to Wasted Night Live 😍
The song really is a message of hope. Taka stated that the band's entire motif for the album is spread hope through their songs
Taka's voice is incredible. I have seen them live twice and they are amazing performers, the stage chemistry is unreal. I discovered them thru kpop as Korea and Korean idols love them.
They love and also envy him. His vocal is something that can only be obtained through harsh throat singing method. Which is completely banned in Korea music industry.
@@arapaimagold8088There is no need to ban it, because it cannot be imitated.
Side note: Avril Lavigne’s sister Michelle is married to ONE OK ROCK’s bassist Ryota Kohama.
Really? Wow!!
Yep! And the band as a whole are huge Avril Lavigne fans
@@nonimonica1249 yes and Avril was on the Japanese version of their song Listen on their Ambitions album

Total fan. They have a gigantic list. Their early stuff was heavier, love it.
We are 18 fes has a better live feeling and great video accompany by a 1000 18yrs olds. Try to check it
i've seen them live in Paris 4 years ago Taka is really great ! :) and it was a really great live show :)

The vocals 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽incredible, powerful and emotional
Just dropping a comment to show love on your channel and supporting OneOkRock🤘
You should check out ‘wherever you are’ live of them.. that’s how I got into one ok rock spent hours to figure out who they are and checking out their music. Loved every second of it
Check Adele's - hello cover by Taka to know more about his voice.
this is such a powerful song that has so many of their listeners.
YASS I live for this. I've been to one of their concerts and I love their live concerts more that the cd omg jshdkwhw mighty long fall yokohama stadium my absolute fav between the cd and live. Also, their orchestra concerts are top top. I've been listening to them since 2013
The fact is in Ambition Japan Dome live one ok rock performance 23 song and "we are" it's the last song
ONE OK ROCK live just always hits different❤️
Taka's parents are Masako Mori and Shinichi Mori and youngest brother is Hiro from My First Story if you wanna see their music as well :)
Their live performance of "Take Me to the Top" is more on instrument based, plus vocal and scream. Try to check it out if you want. Ending story and Jibun rock are also great live performance.

One ok rock- Ending story?? (Live with orchestra)
Loveeee One Ok Rock but it's better if you put all reactions to Patreon since Japan is very strict with copyright.
Thank you for the warning, I was wondering for this 👍
Look at that “mantra” as you put it in the context of Japanese society. Its young people definitely need to hear this message.
If you like Taka's vocals and want to check out another band, you should check out My First Story. His brother is the vocalist.
It runs in the genes.
japan concert never disapointed that's whay i very sad when band maid canceld the budokan dome -_-
Taka's voice is just uuuugghh... art!
I do recommend to you to react to either (or both) Man with a Mission or MUCC!
