One Ok Rock is the first rock band that got me so obsessed and started to dig deeper into rock music. Their songs are so catchy, and Taka's voice is so unique and addicting and his screams are pleasing to my ears. Their song "Clock Strikes" was my first, then I listened to "Deeper Deeper", "Re:make", "Cry out", "Liar", and end up watched all of their MVs lol. You can start listening to the songs I mentioned. You'll love their rock music since their songs are catchy, non rock fans will love them.
Im at this concert… it’s crazy. Well no camera is allowed at the japan concert. But there is one song we did open flashlight on our phone. Live concert is crazy. The drum sound make my heart beats so fast. I have been to kpop concert but rock concert make me feel hype as i was jumping and head banging . I
and yeahhh i love the japanese audience they literally enjoy concerts fully and don't just take videos all the time or scream needlessly i would really like to go to a concert there
YASSSS Taka's voice gets me every time. Mighty Long Fall was a song I played on repeat in my last year of high school while doing homework, another song was Clock Strikes.
How to call the band name is... ONE OK ROCK = ワンオクロック = One-O-Clock (One O'clock) At the time of formation, they started practicing in the studio at "1 a.m" on the weekend. because the late night charge was cheap. This is the origin of the name. O'clock" was replaced by "OK" and "ROCK". It's a kind of word play. In Japanese, we don't have "R" sound. That's why we can call them one-o-clock (ワンオクロック) easily even if it's One OK Rock. However, you don't have to care about it. They officially accept called "One Okay Rock" in other countries, since other langages have different sound of R and L. BTW, I met your channel by chance the day before yesterday and I have been enjoying to watch since then. I'll look forward to seeing the next one from Japan. 😄
OOR was one of my first band which i listen. they first song which i listen was Kemuri .. now i listen pop, most of kpop but still like have time for listen OOR. Taka voice or they lyrics is still NO.1
Glad you liked it! Watch their We Are performance for 18 fes. I have never seen anything like it. There is a whole documantary on the behind the scenes as well (making of the song and the performance) that's how special it was!
Their Yokohama Stadium concert is my fave out of all their shows! Thank you for reacting to this you should definitely check out their WE ARE with 18fes performance next!
I loved your take on this. I had just found the song today and I always like to see reactions of course. Your input from the actual state of music and performance is spot on. And when you had asked "what do you not see?" I then in that moment noticed too and what a great and beautiful thing. Being in the moment of music is in and of itself a unique experience. I had thought these kinds of performances were only to be found in the past but full glad am I to see it alive and well. Keep up the great takes!!
I grew up on classic rock, like The Eagles and Journey. I don't think they really make rock like that anymore. OOR is definitely the "heaviest" rock that I listen to, and they're not even that heavy. I'm not really into rock that's just loud. Like, I don't enjoy screaming and such, but whenever Taka screams in their songs, it's just different. Like it's just so clean and sounds pleasing to the ears. To answer your question, picture taking and recording are generally not allowed at concerts or events in Japan. Also, while the band's name is pronounced like "one o'clock" in Japanese, it is totally okay (pun not intended) to call them "one okay rock," and that's how Taka says their name when overseas too. When Waleska gets back, you should watch together the performance of "Mighty Long Fall" at 35xxxv Japan Tour. I don't want to spoil it, but the way Taka ends the song there is generally how he'll do it for most performances of this song. I would be interested in seeing your reaction to songs like "Ending Story??" at the Jinsei x Kimi = Tour (NOT the fan-made live mix video), "NO SCARED" at Yokohama Stadium, and "The Beginning" at Eye of the Storm Japan Tour. Btw, the band announced earlier in the week that they're getting a documentary on Netflix next month on the 21st!! You should check out the trailer. They have one on their official channel, and an extended trailer is available on Netflix itself (just search "ONE OK ROCK" on Netflix). So excited for it!!
Yeees finally someone who recommends these versions of mughty long fall and ending story?? and not the newer ones where takas melodic voice is a little bit better but the screams are weaker
This is great. I became a fan about a year ago and wanted to kick myself for snoozing on them for so long. I even missed concerts in the Bay Area CA back in the day. Now I can’t get enough. Thanks for sharing!
The instrumental are heavy but the lyrics are sang in melodic way. That is why it seems like it is not quite heavy. Glad that you check their kind of heavy stuff Efra :)
You should react to clock strikes at yokohama stadium & cry out from ambition Japan tour Taka’s voice at these two songs is something else. Also wherever you are it’s a ballad song by them... you will like it for sure
It's a rule in Japan, phones are not allowed in concerts. You get a DVD of concert. It's the same for BTS muster concerts. You aren't allowed to record.
Yeah. I believe that it is illegal to record concerts so if u get caught with recording on your phone you get kicked out the concert without refund I seen this happen when I went to concerts in Korea and Japan as well. Beside all artist in Japan would release DVD/Blu Ray of the concerts at the major venues. DVD/Blu Ray usually get released once the tour is over it also a big profit as well since Concert DVD/Blu Ray can go from like 50USD to 200 USD depending on the version you can of the concert since they have First Press Limited Editon models then regular then you have regular limited Edition then you also exclusive editions from other major music retailers
@@johnpaulpasco6532 Yeah. Be the light performance was the only time you can see phones but majority of the audience was using there lights but you can see a few people trying to record it on there phones
Please react to One Ok Rock's "Be The Light" (check the music video version first and then live. It's a tribute song for the victims of 2011 Tohuku Earthquake) and "Good Goodbye" live acoustic version from their concert 35xxxv Tour ^_^ those songs are soooo beautiful and meaningful :) As for the band name's pronunciation, you can say "won oku rock-u". Or just say One OK Rock. Both are okay :) And you're right, it came from "1 o'clock", just pronounced in a Japanese accent, to say it simply ^_^ the story behind d name is that they used to rehearse every 1'o clock night when they were just starting :) Regarding the phone thing, yes, they don't use phone during concerts. They simply bask in the experience and enjoy the whole thing. They only bring out the phones if it's "required" in the performance, just like in One OK Rock's song "Be The Light" :) And since Japanese songs usually have parts where the audience can sing, that's where they would normally sing along. Think "We Are", since you've already seen the stadium version. (Oh, and please check the "We Are FES Version". That perf was powerful!) Plus, they also have this mindset that since they're already getting a BluRay copy of the concert anyway, so why bother recording w/ your phone? Kinda like that. They also don't scream while the band or singer is performing. Only before or after the performance do they scream or cheer. It's their way of showing respect for the performer giving out their art to the people. Also to respect the other people in the audience, who paid money to listen to artists, not the screams of the audience while they are performing. That's how cool and respectful Japanese concerts are.
Ei....Efra sir...my fave part on their mighty long fall concert was the song Be the light ... Taka’s vocal ..the best 😁❤️ thanks for ur rv .. check clock strikes too ...😉😊 #OneOkRock
If you wanna see Tomoya doing all song just focus on him playing drum then react to One Ok Rock - Taking Off Tomoya version live. I think there are 15 cameras all around him and his drum
Thank you for your OOR reaction videos! I have been watching all of your reaction to them, and I LOOOVVEE how you and Waleska always share your knowledge and insights in music. It's so amazing to understand something I had never known about OOR in terms of Taka's vocal or their music arrangements. I have been a fan of them since 2013, so seeing you slowly opening up to them just make me really happy. Again, thank you for doing another OOR video. I hope next time you would listen to Clock Strikes Yokohama Stadium (same place as shown in this video) and Nobody's Home Live Mix (a touching story abt Taka's relationship with his family, and the song that made me a fan of them). Peace!
Every Japanese rock musician is a good musician… every single one. And if melody, cadence and sound are your thing you need to dive much much deeper into Japanese music. Also… ONE OK ROCK doesn’t mind when they’re touring outside Japan, but I’ve been to several concerts of Japanese bands in Europe where they prohibited phones… everyone complied… and all of those concerts were brilliant!
I think Efra is now ready for Deeper Deeper, One by One, and other heavy but not that heavy OOR songs. 😂 I'm not a rock fan too, the first song that made me a fan was Heartache but when I was exposed to their heavy stuffs suprisingly I liked them more (even those songs with screams, which what I hate before). I dont know maybe there is something in OOR. I agree that a good rock is something that not loses the musicality aspects. And OOR songs have also positive messages, these songs always have a deep backstory.
You were on point about what rock should sounds like in general. I can never understand heavy metal/rock stuff because all they does is just wild screaming with no direction at some point of the song. OOR killed it with this type of "melodic rock" where everything just sounds beautiful while also get "Heavy" when it needs to. The control is just fantastic and bizarre. Now i cant wait for you to react to their next song.
I don’t know if it’s a rule to not bring phones but Japanese concerts seem to have extremely engaged audiences. Maybe it’s the security that the set will be Professionally recorded so they just live in the moment not worrying about recording. Either way When artists preform in Japan it always seems like a good time, with everyone knowing the lyrics and being so into the moment.
They're also very good friends with a lot of other high quality rock bands in Japan like Coldrain and Crystal Lake. I highly recommend checking out these bands to see different styles of J-rock! Coldrain's music usually has lyrics attributing to social issues of Japan and the world, Crystal Lake's music is very heavy, death metal sounding music but its very well done.
this definitely isn't among their " heavier " songs imo. like yeah heavier than the previous songs you reacted to but they have some older heavier songs and like some with even some screaming from taka and more metal vibe
i've been a casual rock fan because of my brother but i lean towards alternative. when i discovered them with The Beginning as I am a big anime fan, they fit my tastes to a T. They also have a knack of making me like their songs that i initially dont like when they perform them live. Their lives are just 💯
It's actually prohibited to take photos or videos of concerts in Japan! Sometimes during encore the singer will explicitly give permission to allow recordings during one specific song, but that's incredibly rare as far as I know. It only happened at 1 (!) of all the concerts I've been to there
JAPAN has long been strict when it comes to concerts and performances and they don’t allow video recording on the actual live to respect the artists and the attending audiences and to avoid any distractions when they perform. also, they record the concerts and release them as dvds so they avoid leaks as much as possible and focus the enjoyment of the concert as we all want to. :) hope you can watch taka’s a thousand miles cover or heartache perf please!!!! ☺️
That's why Jrock/Jmetal is a lot more fun to listen to. I agree that Jrock has a lot more musicality and cadence to it than most rock I've heard. Even Jmetal still has great elements of melody despite being heavy. I highly recommend listening to Babymetal for a fun juxtaposition of metal and cute..
when you're in OOR concert you wouldn't want to worry about your phone while jumping & dancing around. I did capture a minute of some performances but it would be a total waste not to focus on the performance itself cause everyone was like having fun..
Coldplay and One ok rock are my favorite bands so far. I'm a new fan of One ok rock and I've already listened to all of their songs, i love the meanings, the message, everything😭‼️💓
it's amazing how you notice no mobile phones in their concert.. Japanese fans culture are focus on the artist and the concert itself not on their phones.
I’ve had the same experience as you with rock, I never liked the screaming and the overwhelming sound in the lives. But One Ok Rock is different I don’t know what is that they have different, but I only listen to their live versions. They’re just incredibly good ♥️
This is a great reaction video based on music appreciation rather than just opinion. I respect you for that credible commentary. Even if you didn’t like them based on the same criteria, I’d respect that too. Keep going!
お2人のリアクション動画大好きです♡ ONE OK ROCK😊 Taking off change Wasted Nights ↑ I recommead tha music video🙂 cry out Fight the night ↑ Please check it out on the live version😆 Your reaction video I'm looking forward to it.
Well, I believe it's a rule in Japan not to record concerts. Before starting the event, everyone in the audience must turn off their phones, cameras, etc. My friend was was able to go to a Hey!Say!Jump! concert and they were actually given a small plastic bag to put in their devices after turning it off once they entered the ocncert hall. Also, after the concert, the staff would actually check your device to see if you recorded some or even took pictures. If they found out those files, they will have you delete it right then and there. This doesn't only happen in Japan. When Japanese artists perform abroad, this rule will also be implemented. This might depend on each artists, but most artists (singers, bands, and seiyuu) that have performed here in PH have that rule strictly implemented. I actually like this rule, since it lets the audience to be immersed fully in the performance and prevent piracy as well. Too bad it wasn't followed during the OOR's concert here.
OOK are just the bestest for real!!!!! If you ever have time you can react to Man With a Mission, Spyair and also My First Story (there is Taka lil bro in this group, they are also amazing)
I love when your parents chip in from behind the camera! :) There are a lot of good rock bands out there...you just have to sort through the crap ones!
Yeah!! I've been waiting for you to do this song. My favorite and it's the song that got me into OOR 😊😊 And if you watch more of their live performance in japan you'll see there's no phone recording (this happen the same with Blackpink live in Tokyo dome).The japanese fan have great culture when it comes to concert they come to enjoy every moment with their favorite artist instead of try to record and show it on social media.I really respect them.
You should watch and give a review for the Rurouni Kenshin movies...the ones that doesnthe main soundtrack is One Ok Rock...start with the beginning movie then rorouni kenshin, then kyoto inferno, the legend ends and then the final...its all on netflix...then give a review :D
Yes, it's pronounced as One Ok Rock because in Japanese there is no L sound, as they practiced at 1 o'clock when they adapted the name the L sound in Clock was replaced by R, so in Japanese One O'clock sounds like One OcRock hence ONE OK ROCK!
We are asked to not take out our phones to record whether video and audio and especially to post anything on social media. even their online concert performances we are not allowed to post any snippets of. Its nice because yeah, it does make you surrender to the moment.
I've been to more than a couple of concerts in Japan (altho the OOR one i've been to was outside Japan) and they don't allow cameras. Throughout the con, there'll be marshall-like staff going around with the No photos or No Cams sign to ensure it's obeyed.
HEHE! Genuinely loved seeing the pleasure of listening to this on your face Efra xD and yes! you're correct, it's supposed to be a play on the pronunciation of one o'clock = wan oh kuraku = one ok rock
You may test your own capacity on rock music to their song ANSWER IS NEAR LIVE AT YOKOHAMA STADIUM thats definitely i think you can enjoy to watch even if its mild heavy
It is actually prohibited to record or cam record at any concerts. The phones are not confiscated though, its just that the Japanese people follow this strict rules. Also this way they can focus solely listening to the songs. They ca rent or buy out DVDs of the concerts after few months because its made available for everyone.

Taka can rap too tho. You can check their "Ending Story" performance. His voice just amazing 🔥
I wonder if “69” can be considered rap?

Yes, the band name is inspired from One O'Clock, but the way Japanese people pronounce it more sounds like 'one oke rock'
You gotta check out taking of by one ok rock tomoyas drum version. You get a full detailed view of the drummers drums kit

This song always gives me energy
One ok rock my favorite Japan band ❤️
I’ve had the same experience as you with rock, I never liked the screaming and the overwhelming sound in the lives.
But One Ok Rock is different I don’t know what is that they have different, but I only listen to their live versions. They’re just incredibly good ♥️
Thank youuu for reacting to my fav band.
hello, more ONE OK ROCK songs please! 🙏
Happy to see a full video reaction.. Good job bro..
Yes, recording isn't allowed in Japanese concerts. And the Japanese are basically known to strictly follow rules and be respectful.
This is a great reaction video based on music appreciation rather than just opinion. I respect you for that credible commentary. Even if you didn’t like them based on the same criteria, I’d respect that too. Keep going!
"take me to the top" 🔥🔥

Your reaction video
I'm looking forward to it.
Hope you react on thier heartache and wherever you are (The kinda ballad type) by one ok rock
Very nice to see your reaction, Efra! Hope you will react to their much heavy song Deep deeper and SWS -If you can't hang
Well, I believe it's a rule in Japan not to record concerts. Before starting the event, everyone in the audience must turn off their phones, cameras, etc. My friend was was able to go to a Hey!Say!Jump! concert and they were actually given a small plastic bag to put in their devices after turning it off once they entered the ocncert hall. Also, after the concert, the staff would actually check your device to see if you recorded some or even took pictures. If they found out those files, they will have you delete it right then and there.
This doesn't only happen in Japan. When Japanese artists perform abroad, this rule will also be implemented. This might depend on each artists, but most artists (singers, bands, and seiyuu) that have performed here in PH have that rule strictly implemented. I actually like this rule, since it lets the audience to be immersed fully in the performance and prevent piracy as well. Too bad it wasn't followed during the OOR's concert here.
Please more reactions of one ok rock I really needed
Energy in this song is so insane
It's typical to Japan to attend concerts without using their phones. I really like that idea 💖
OOK are just the bestest for real!!!!! If you ever have time you can react to Man With a Mission, Spyair and also My First Story (there is Taka lil bro in this group, they are also amazing)
OMG FINALLY I LOVE THIS STAGE!
Sakae drum kit maybe?. Good reaction efra! Hello from Japan ✊☺️ ONEOKROCKは私のお気に入りのバンドです。反応ありがとうございます。
I love when your parents chip in from behind the camera! :) There are a lot of good rock bands out there...you just have to sort through the crap ones!
Please check out Aimer a Japanese female solo singer, she is good friend with taka oor and have collabs together
Yes please!! Aimer has one of the most unique voice I've ever heard!
Please react to ONE OK ROCK
“Ending Story??”
I want you to listen to this song very
This song is very cool!!
Yeah!! I've been waiting for you to do this song. My favorite and it's the song that got me into OOR 😊😊 And if you watch more of their live performance in japan you'll see there's no phone recording (this happen the same with Blackpink live in Tokyo dome).The japanese fan have great culture when it comes to concert they come to enjoy every moment with their favorite artist instead of try to record and show it on social media.I really respect them.
I love the quality of your reactions and of course that you enjoy One Ok Rock as well haha
Check out Taking Off video that focuses on Tomoya’s drums. Fantastic. He’s so fun to watch.
You should watch and give a review for the Rurouni Kenshin movies...the ones that doesnthe main soundtrack is One Ok Rock...start with the beginning movie then rorouni kenshin, then kyoto inferno, the legend ends and then the final...its all on netflix...then give a review :D
Yes, it's pronounced as One Ok Rock because in Japanese there is no L sound, as they practiced at 1 o'clock when they adapted the name the L sound in Clock was replaced by R, so in Japanese One O'clock sounds like One OcRock hence ONE OK ROCK!
We are asked to not take out our phones to record whether video and audio and especially to post anything on social media. even their online concert performances we are not allowed to post any snippets of. Its nice because yeah, it does make you surrender to the moment.
1okRock is beyond great 👍🏾 👌🏾 btw your hand gesture 🤟🏽 stands for love, This 🤘 rock, so know you like rock.
One ok rock never disappointed
I've been to more than a couple of concerts in Japan (altho the OOR one i've been to was outside Japan) and they don't allow cameras. Throughout the con, there'll be marshall-like staff going around with the No photos or No Cams sign to ensure it's obeyed.
Not sure if it's been mentioned but both of Taka's parents are singers too. His youngest brother is also a vocalist of another rock group.
My fav song... Think U ...for U'r reaction... 😇💜
Please do more 1OKR.... 🙏🙇🙇
HEHE! Genuinely loved seeing the pleasure of listening to this on your face Efra xD and yes! you're correct, it's supposed to be a play on the pronunciation of one o'clock = wan oh kuraku = one ok rock
Back then toru (the guitarist) was rapping tho, when they’re still have 2 guitarist. You can watch oor old video,song title is yumi yumi
You may test your own capacity on rock music to their song ANSWER IS NEAR LIVE AT YOKOHAMA STADIUM thats definitely i think you can enjoy to watch even if its mild heavy
Or if you want to feel nostalgic and have the FEELS you can react to their song C.H.A.O.S.M.Y.T.H Live at Yokohama Stadium
1: 54 am
ME: let me play a song to fall asleep
The song:
OH MY GOD LETS GO !!!!
It is actually prohibited to record or cam record at any concerts. The phones are not confiscated though, its just that the Japanese people follow this strict rules. Also this way they can focus solely listening to the songs. They ca rent or buy out DVDs of the concerts after few months because its made available for everyone.
taka is so cool
Taka himself called the group One OK Rock as wan o krok which means one o'clock.
Japanese rock is pretty good.
If you like, please ask L'Arc〜en〜Ciel ”GOOD LUCK MY WAY" as well.
☆one ok rock " The way back " " Fight the night "
