Wow! Thank you, I love your reaction. Taka is definitely an amazing singer. His parents are both famous singers in Japan, and his brother is also a vocalist of a band. It really runs in their blood to be musicians. My next suggestion is CLOCK STRIKES in Yokohama Stadium or THE BEGINNING in Eye of the Storm tour.
Taka have actually always kinda disliked when people would talk about his parents and his brother hiro as both of the brothers have always worked their music to escape the "light" of their parent and each other, to the point where taka would stay out late practicing with the others when he were a young teen instead of going home, that him and his father ended up having quite the strained relationship, tho they are now on better terms after having talked it out
That piano version gives me goosebumps...Also check out his cover of Adele's Hello, vocals are insane!!! Just saw them in concert last weekend, amazing!!!
Seeing them live earlier this month I was blown away. They are beyond incredible live. I hope more people discover how ridiculously talented they are . I have a short clip of this song on my UA-cam where you can hear Taka’s vocal flip super clear. His voice is bonkers.
Its been two weeks since I saw them in NYC and Im still NOT OKAY... Taka is just god tier vocalist and performer and all of them are so passionate on stage their energy is insane. It was one of the most emotional concert Ive ever been to and Ive seen BTS 6 times and so many other concerts that were all amazing but.....One Ok Rock hit me so much more than anyone else. Taka was in face the whole night, I was so close to the stage and I will never get over it. Take me back to Taka!! Thank you for a great reaction!!! I love finding people from different walks of life and musical backgrounds and watching them learn to love BTS and kpop and One Ok Rock! Ive been binging your videos at work and love! Dont ever stop being positive and yourself and dont let haters get to you!!
Renegade is one of my faves but I also love "Save Yourself" and "Wasted Nights". You HAVE to listen to "Neon", the main part reminds me of like 80's rock, like it needs an electric guitar haha.
I'm not mad at all. You started me on this journey with this band & I can't wait to learn more with you. Love his voice too. The word that comes to my mind is "clean". There have been very, very few singers that give me chills. Can't wait to hear more! 💜
Found OOR by chance on Netflix, through their documentary " Flip a Coin" which follows them during the process of making their online concert during Covid when they couldn't tour. Take a look if you havn't seen it yet. I'm pretty new to your channel and have loved everything! Freaking toodles!
Holy crap you went all out for this ONE OK ROCK reaction, I love it! The fan cam you watched is from one of their shows on their current North American tour. I went to their show last night and they performed Renegades. Absolutely amazing to see it live myself!!! If you have Netflix, there is a ONE OK ROCK documentary called Flip a Coin that was released in 2021 if you're interested in watching that on your own time. Other songs you can check out: The Beginning, Clock Strikes, Mighty Long Fall. All of those have live performances too.
Sorry for pouring my heart, but the sad thing here is: oor fancams are exclusively international because filming and taking photos during concerts is not allowed in Japan (which I love btw because it promotes actually EXPERIENCING the concert). You hear them all sing along to Taka the whole song through, which they don't really do in Japan because of respect towards the band (they don't wanna overshadow them (notice how you can't even hear Taka that clearly anymore during it?)). SO it is very common for bands to include parts where the crowd CAN sing along (that's why the chants are so powerful in Japan! It's all memorised by the fans). It's also considered VERY rude to scream or shout or talk when the band is playing or talking. The part where Taka stopped singing for half a minute during Take What You Want? That's a whole ass stadium, dude, never would have happened the way it happened in the west, sadly. So the OOR lives that you started loving - only happen in Japan. Completely different feeling in Europe or the US. My heart's bleeding when I see all these phone cameras in the fancam. Thing is, I've been a fan since 2011 or so, I've seen them live thrice. First time they came here, there were huge ass moshpits lol (they had some heavier songs back in the day) and almost no phone camera up there. That shifted. I momentarily stopped "liking" them and now I came back and I enjoy their newer songs as well. I LONG for a live concert now, but now I'm scared that all these fans will lowkey piss me off, hehe. Sorry for the rant. I'm sure no one will read this, anyway. That being said, I have huge respect for that band and this man. He's an incredible artist, so skilled and so emotionally raw. The biggest crime is that there's no live versions on Spotify, sigh. I hope you know that I appreciate your reactions all the same! It's great seeing someone experience their geniuses for the first time and you're so genuine doing that. It's totally alright to stop a video multiple times btw! We love hearing your input :) It'd be great if you'd skip backwards a few seconds after that tho because some parts need to be experienced uninterrupted! :) x You have a nice nose btw hahaha. Oh, and there's a documentary on Netflix about them with eng subs called Flip a Coin! It's about their concert they planned and held during early Covid which was A FUCKING MAZING. A concert in a huge ass stadium without fans but streamed live. You can't even imagine how good it was. It's fucking expensive to import their DVDs or BDs but it's sooooooooo worth it, every penny.
Ahhh Mai thank you so much for this! I love the info here I’ve always wondered that and heard about how different the Japan shows are from the American shows! That makes sense! Also! They have a show on Netflix?!?!? I must see it!! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥹🥹
@@JohnReavesLive Glad you enjoyed the tidbits and weren't put off by my rants haha! Their story, especially Taka's however, is so interesting. Both his parents are famous singers, he was disowned, he ran away from home, found his own way, reconsiled, his little brother's a vocalist in a band too and not too shabby either! They're called MY FIRST STORY. Got a lot to say about both of these bands. But yeah man, glad you're enjoying them! It's the best when people who love music appreciate oor for the way they evoke emotions! Looking forward to your next reactions! :)
God me too!! that’s why I only watch their concert in Japan even though they came to my country twice lol. I want to experience their full force and also Japanese concert agency always have a better service 😂 I went away for their last album too ‘eyes of the storm’ sadly only a few I liked but this album!!! wow I’d really like to join the Japanese crowd again 😢
I love how you talk about the importance of having music that makes you "feel". Dude, the video for "Stand Out Fit In" just broke my heart and I legit could not finish watching it. Obsessed with the song, but to watch what the song made me feel, and remember, was just too much. This band creates music that touches the soul.
This is one of my all time favorite songs of theirs. I was at the Cleveland Ohio show and it was such an incredible experience. I love the whole album, but my top favorites are Let me let you go and Save Yourself. Taka's vocals and stage presence is insane!
@@KPOPEOMMA7 That's awesome! I saw him fist bump a couple people. We were by the vip on the stairs, definitely worth getting bodied lol. Hello fellow fan 😁
WOW! This was my first time hearing that piano/vocal recording. I never would have imagined a jazzy piano accompaniment would work for Renegades but it totally did! I hope you keep reacting to OOR, they have so many good songs! 🙌
Great!!!!! Love when you react to MV and live. They have Jam sessions that are amazing. This song is for the Rurouni Kensin movies. They are amazing movies. Hahahahahaa, Blair Witch meeting your favorite rock band, hahaha, so true. This fancam is recent cause I think is from the tour they are doing right now through the US.
I knew u would love this 😀..one of my favorite songs from them. btw i told you..you would love the piano version of this..i saw this when i was looking at fan cams to send to you with the mv and i saw piano version of renegades and i watch the piano version myself first and i am like omg john would love this because john can hear Takahiro vocals so clear and i know you love piano ....Thank you for reacting to it.
The are one of the best bands live! Before they focused more on an international audience, they had a lot of songs which were mainly in japanese, sometimes with a few lines in english. You should listen to those as well :) My all time favorites still are "the begining" and "mighty long fall", which are both amazing live as well.
Thank you for your reactions to One Ok Rock. They are amazing. Actually this song “Renegades” was written in collaboration with Ed Sheeran. You should check out the videos of the making of Renegades. Thanks again. You are great.❤
You should do more reactions like this!! Try the music video of "Taking Off," the live performance at Field of Wonder (this was an online concert so no audience), and then the Studio Jam Session version🤘 There's an "official video from Nagisaen" for the song but it's not the actual live recording, but rather the song put to clips from the concert. Still kinda cool if you wanna see the crowds (Nagisaen was 100K people over 2 days) but you won't get the live vocals. Or you could do "Stand Out Fit In" with the music video, live performance at Eye of the Storm Japan Tour, and the orchestra version. Looking forward to more OOR reactions! I can't wait to see the guys again live next week in LA.
I was actually about to suggest Taking Off as well, and both these performances!! 😅🙌 John if you read this, these two live performances not only show off Taka’s voice but also the other guys in the band. Just stellar stuff… 💯💯
This song is great live! I try not to film concerts but I checked my phone and did find a one minute reel of Renegades from the NY concert which I am 95% confident is where this fancam is from. The whole audience was shout/singing "I'm not afraid!" and would sing the "whoaaahs" as well. The whole crowd was filled with amazing energy. Edit: Ed Sheeran wrote this song for OOR
The live was in Orlando. I was there. It is awesome live . Many tv dramas and movies used their songs in Japan. He sings for the crowd. They how Japanese singers do
You would love one ok rock - taking off jam session live. The arrangement is sooooo good. The same goes for their orchestra live performances: i was king, fight the night, stand out fit in. And their latest jam session live for vandalize & your tears are mine here: ua-cam.com/video/ZI9RgVyzU4s/v-deo.html
One Ok Rock is my ultimate rock band. Their live shows are so epic and Taka’s voice is fabulous. I found them by chance watching the Rurouni Kenshin movies. Also watch Wasted Nights live. Goosebumps all the way. There’s also a great YT video of One Ok Rock working with Ed Sheeran on Renegades, a really good watch. Also, Taka singing Open Arms with Arnel Pineda is amazing too. Just love this band.
@@louloubumper8179 SAME! They started to perform their last song, Wasted Nights, and I was like wait what we are near the end already??? I wanted more lol
Bro u just introduced to their soft sides.. check their hard stuff One Ok Rock - One By One Live in Saitama Super Arena One Ok Rock - Ending Story Live One Ok Rock - Deeper Deeper
I finally got to see them live a couple of weekends ago and they’re just as good live. On your own time, you should listen to some of their acoustic versions. I love their acoustic and studio jam sessions.
Taka also did a cover of Adele’s Hello. Another vocalist to look into would actually by Taka’s younger brother, Hiro. His band is My First Story. Coldrain is a good band too. Their lead singer is friends with Taka.
From their newest album, I HIGHLY recommend Save Yourself and Vandalize. I honestly can’t listen to either songs once, I always need to repeat. For an older song, and something a little more…..harder rock? I reaaaally recommend The Beginning. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in concert and honestly The Beginning really showcases how amazing Taka’s vocals are
Really enjoying your reactions to One Ok Rock! I was able to see them in Seattle and they are absolutely incredible live! It's definitely an experience where you can feel the raw emotions in Takas singing and the crowd. I've been to a lot of concerts and OOR just has a feeling that can't be described. My son is a huge fan of theirs as well and they are beyond sweet. Taka saw him and made a point of coming over to him, squatting down, waving and singing there for a minute (he even gave him his towel and Ryota gave him his pick). For anybody who enjoys their music, seeing them live is a must.
Thank you for these 3 videos😍 Did u know that both taka's parents are famous singer back in the day. He already on newspaper and tv when he was born😋 Even his brother also a vocalist in famous rock band MY FIRST STORY. He just born to be a singer and be a star on stage. Love OOR so much.
You're reacting to my two favorites: ONE OK ROCK and EXO. Be sure to check out some older ONE OK ROCK songs. Have you watched Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer yet? Live at Yokohama Stadium is the best. And for EXO live I'd recommend their live video of the four songs White Noise, Thunder, Playboy, and Artificial Love. It’s hella sexy!
Wow Thanks for reacting to ONE OK ROCK, They are my favorite band in the world! And I'm hoping they tour around asia too. Anyway, they have a documentary film "Flip a Coin" on Netflix. You can check it out if you want to know more about them.
Omg if love piano then u must react to One Ok Rock - Pierce live. Taka playing piano with orchestra btw. Taka can play piano, guitar and drum, what a freaking amazing dude.
Definitely making us feel something. I'm already accepting becoming fan of this band, no turning back :D Just added this song to my playlist :D Piano version at the end is amazing. His voice is fricking wow!
Videos really do no justice to this live performance. The drums and energy from the crew and crowd is insane! Taka is amazing. This is my favorite live I've ever been to and the fans are amazing. We met so many great people in the vip line and sang and made vids. You'll be in your feels and hyped at these shows!
I saw these guys in Orlando and my god, hearing them live is something else. Would totally love to see you get into more of their songs, I would recommend "the beginning" or "save yourself"
You can already tell, I'm sure, but they've expressed multiple times how much they love playing live and back then, after their first international performance in a Korean rock fest, they said their goal was to play in the USA because they knew a North American tour would open them up to playing everywhere and I just love that for them.
Taka's voice is really amazing 😍, when the first time I saw their live video, I was like WTF?! ,how can he performed this good in live?! He can hit every note perfectly even when he running around on stage, that is amazing skill. If you want to know more about OOR'S other members, I highly recommend their documentary "Flip a coin" on Netflix, every member in this band is amazing and adorable, and they really put a lot of effort into their live performances.
Loved your reaction so had to subscribe! I love when someone like you who is also a vocalist recognizes how talented Taka is. The band started in 2005 and Taka pretty much wrote all the music and lyrics for their songs. Recently because they have recorded abroad, there are more producers listed but by the lyrics, you just know Taka has written them. To really hear how great his voice is, you have to listen to him singing Adele's Hello and Easy on Me. He is singing it in the same key as Adele and he kills it. Hope you will react to more One OK Rock music. Everyone talks about Taka but the other 3 members of the band are phenomenal too.
I'm so happy to be watching you react to one ok rock :) I saw them in September and I hold my fancams near and dear to my heart. I'm so glad I've gotten to see them, when I became a fan 3-4 years ago I never thought I would. If anyone gets a chance to see them on this tour you should do it! Its sold out but maybe some resellers are out there and it's totally worth it :)
Love your reaction! We were up at the stage and Taka had us jumping and the floor was moving lol! I was like whoa but it was a Hella good time! This entire band is special for sure! Great messages in the lyrics.
I love the song esp when it was first introduced in Rurouni Kenshin's The Final. There are some some videos uploaded by One OK Rock where they show how the song came to be, as a collaboration with Ed Sheeran :).
Love your reactions to them! I really like some constructive comentary! ☺️ Yes, there are some introduction fan videos of yt, but also the band made multipl tour documentarys throuout the years - but recently they did make a docu film with Netflix! ‚Flip a coin’. You can both meet the band, see how they work, and get to know some of their history in the meantime. I would love to see a reaction/comentary if you can post it on youtube! (you don’t have to show much of the documentary, for copyright) or even patreon if needed. I saw even better fan cams from this tour (idk ab this song). The fans are entusiastic, but also respectful, and sometimes someone get enough luck, good phone camera and good spot, that the fan cam os really worth checking - bc most fans want to see how is the new album sounding live, and we will have to wait a but for oficial live recordings xD And yeah, OOR evolver their songs, when you listen to a lot of live recordings of the same song, you can see that, and the band seem to try to make every concert special for this audience. Not to mantion specyfic diffrent arrangements, like acustic studio sessions, and a tour with an orchesra 😁 Hope you gonna react to some more from them, aspecially the ‘Flip a Coin’ documentary on Netflix!
as someone who was at the show in that fancam… the fancam did it no justice AT ALL… from taka’s voice to the crowd singing … it was honestly a surreal moment that you could tell the fans had been waiting a very long time to experience (me included.. i lost my voice after this song) that, sadly, the phone couldn’t completely capture
I came across One OK Rock thru Rurouni Kenshin live action adaptation. Their songs were post credit songs of the movies. I love the band afterwards. They are soooo good and talented.
considering your love for evolving tracks, you should check out to the 3 versions of Fukai by Dir en Grey, there's the original release as a side track on the Single Kasumi, then he kinda changed the vocals completely for the live version during the Vulgarism Tour and then years later they dropped a Best of Album, Vestige of Scratches, where he changed it again and I love each version a LOT, it's one of my favorite songs by them!
It's never a wrong idea to expand your options. It doesn't matter if it's just a personal preference you're trying out, or a UA-cam channel. If something doesn't work, just don't do it again, and if it does work, you have a new option. I like everything Japanese in music, so far. From traditional, and all the way to rock and metal. But one okay go is one of my favorite bands. And this was well before it was used as a intro to Naruto.
Hi, Taka has a brother ( Hiroki) who has his own band, My First Story, there are many songs like Alone, Memories and Paradox. Maybe you like them. Have a great day 💖
I don't know if that's something you're interested in, but I'd suggest listening to a few older songs as well, because they're really great and it could be interesting to see how they changed and progressed. A few of my favourite songs are The Beginning, Liar and Karasu the orchestra version in Yokohama Arena
Wow!! Thanks for reacting to the links in my last comment! 🙏 You're totally right about live fancams, they're usually horrible due to the shaky camera "Blair Witch" effect you mentioned, and also because not a whole lot of bands nowadays sound great live. Taka and OOR are the real f'n thing. 🤘🤘 Unfortunately, I don't think there's a really good "Intro to One OK Rock" video like there is for BTS. I wish there was... Some brief history on the members and how the band started: As some other commenters have mentioned, Taka's parents are both high profile singers in Japan singing more traditional Japanese music. They wanted him to kinda follow in those footsteps and taught him how to sing from an early age and then entered him in Japanese talent shows. He hated it, and in the end wound up falling out with them and leaving home. He went to live with his grandmother and worked in a restaurant, which is where Toru found him and convinced him to join OOR. Ryota was a high school friend of Toru and actually didn't play any instruments at the time and learned how to play the bass so he could join the band! Tomoya was a student in music school and was the last member to join. They debuted in 2005, but settled into this 4 piece band in 2010, which is when they really took off in Japan. Their catalog is long and very diverse. Early on they played a lot of pop-punk, then went into an emo-rock period which has their heavier songs. Now they've kinda settled into a slightly more mature phase for lack of a better way to put it. As for suggestions for next songs, I'd probably go with "The Beginning." That's the song that really catapulted them into superstardom in Japan when it was used as the theme for a movie adaption of a Japanese manga. There's both a music video that's pretty cool and tons of live performances, of which I'd probably recommend the one from the Eye of the Storm tour. Links below... Enjoy the journey! I've watched many of your BTS reactions and am loving your foray into OOR now. Have subscribed and will now be joining your Patreon to follow along. The Beginning MV - ua-cam.com/video/Hh9yZWeTmVM/v-deo.html Live from the Eye of the Storm tour - ua-cam.com/video/h1PN7LEH2Vs/v-deo.html
Damn. Been a fan of them but first time hearing this. The problem I have is that I'm kinda hesitant to hear new music released by my favourite music as there are times that the new ones come out not totally awful but kinda disappointing. But this band? They always deliver!. Thanks for the review!
You should check out his live covers of adele and such. His voice is almost the same as the recordings. Clock strikes. Nobodys home. Deeper deeper. kanzaku dreamer. All the heavier stuff are the older japanese ones
Wow! Thank you, I love your reaction. Taka is definitely an amazing singer. His parents are both famous singers in Japan, and his brother is also a vocalist of a band. It really runs in their blood to be musicians. My next suggestion is CLOCK STRIKES in Yokohama Stadium or THE BEGINNING in Eye of the Storm tour.
💯 agreed for Clock Strikes ❤
Taka have actually always kinda disliked when people would talk about his parents and his brother hiro as both of the brothers have always worked their music to escape the "light" of their parent and each other, to the point where taka would stay out late practicing with the others when he were a young teen instead of going home, that him and his father ended up having quite the strained relationship, tho they are now on better terms after having talked it out

I think Taka sings it better.

He totally should!!! 😍

Or you could do "Stand Out Fit In" with the music video, live performance at Eye of the Storm Japan Tour, and the orchestra version.
Looking forward to more OOR reactions! I can't wait to see the guys again live next week in LA.
I was actually about to suggest Taking Off as well, and both these performances!! 😅🙌
John if you read this, these two live performances not only show off Taka’s voice but also the other guys in the band. Just stellar stuff… 💯💯
This song is great live! I try not to film concerts but I checked my phone and did find a one minute reel of Renegades from the NY concert which I am 95% confident is where this fancam is from. The whole audience was shout/singing "I'm not afraid!" and would sing the "whoaaahs" as well. The whole crowd was filled with amazing energy.
Edit: Ed Sheeran wrote this song for OOR
It's actually from Oakland San Francisco! At the amphitheater. I was there and it was freaking awesome. Unforgettable night
The live was in Orlando. I was there. It is awesome live . Many tv dramas and movies used their songs in Japan. He sings for the crowd. They how Japanese singers do
You would love one ok rock - taking off jam session live. The arrangement is sooooo good. The same goes for their orchestra live performances: i was king, fight the night, stand out fit in. And their latest jam session live for vandalize & your tears are mine here: ua-cam.com/video/ZI9RgVyzU4s/v-deo.html
I can tell you first hand that those whoa-oh's were beautiful live, and he'd usually hold up the mic for the crowd to sing it live haha😍
Blair witch project description had me in stitches 😂😂. Been enjoying ur reactions to OOR. Pls continue the journey!
One Ok Rock is my ultimate rock band. Their live shows are so epic and Taka’s voice is fabulous. I found them by chance watching the Rurouni Kenshin movies. Also watch Wasted Nights live. Goosebumps all the way. There’s also a great YT video of One Ok Rock working with Ed Sheeran on Renegades, a really good watch. Also, Taka singing Open Arms with Arnel Pineda is amazing too. Just love this band.
They were awesome last night in Denver!!! ❤sooo good live. ❤
I was there at the Denver show, too!
@@wingsofshadow it was amazing!! I wanted them to keep going LOL 😂
@@louloubumper8179 SAME! They started to perform their last song, Wasted Nights, and I was like wait what we are near the end already??? I wanted more lol
@@wingsofshadow
They did three encore songs for us in Orlando.
The crowd was great and you could tell the band was really happy.
Bro u just introduced to their soft sides.. check their hard stuff
One Ok Rock - One By One Live in Saitama Super Arena
One Ok Rock - Ending Story Live
One Ok Rock - Deeper Deeper
I finally got to see them live a couple of weekends ago and they’re just as good live. On your own time, you should listen to some of their acoustic versions. I love their acoustic and studio jam sessions.
I came to your channel to request you to react to this and you already have! bravo! LOL love them!
Btw Save Yourself is their newest music video
Taka also did a cover of Adele’s Hello.
Another vocalist to look into would actually by Taka’s younger brother, Hiro. His band is My First Story.
Coldrain is a good band too. Their lead singer is friends with Taka.
From their newest album, I HIGHLY recommend Save Yourself and Vandalize. I honestly can’t listen to either songs once, I always need to repeat. For an older song, and something a little more…..harder rock? I reaaaally recommend The Beginning. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in concert and honestly The Beginning really showcases how amazing Taka’s vocals are
Really enjoying your reactions to One Ok Rock! I was able to see them in Seattle and they are absolutely incredible live! It's definitely an experience where you can feel the raw emotions in Takas singing and the crowd. I've been to a lot of concerts and OOR just has a feeling that can't be described. My son is a huge fan of theirs as well and they are beyond sweet. Taka saw him and made a point of coming over to him, squatting down, waving and singing there for a minute (he even gave him his towel and Ryota gave him his pick). For anybody who enjoys their music, seeing them live is a must.
Love these. Save Yourself is one of my favourites from them!
Thank you for these 3 videos😍
Did u know that both taka's parents are famous singer back in the day. He already on newspaper and tv when he was born😋
Even his brother also a vocalist in famous rock band MY FIRST STORY.
He just born to be a singer and be a star on stage.
Love OOR so much.
You're reacting to my two favorites: ONE OK ROCK and EXO. Be sure to check out some older ONE OK ROCK songs. Have you watched Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer yet? Live at Yokohama Stadium is the best. And for EXO live I'd recommend their live video of the four songs White Noise, Thunder, Playboy, and Artificial Love. It’s hella sexy!
Wow Thanks for reacting to ONE OK ROCK, They are my favorite band in the world! And I'm hoping they tour around asia too. Anyway, they have a documentary film "Flip a Coin" on Netflix. You can check it out if you want to know more about them.
This is one of my fav one ok rock songs
Omg if love piano then u must react to One Ok Rock - Pierce live.
Taka playing piano with orchestra btw.
Taka can play piano, guitar and drum, what a freaking amazing dude.
If you wanna hear some of their more heavy stuff, i would recommend Deeper Deeper from the Yokohama stadium concert 👍
Definitely making us feel something. I'm already accepting becoming fan of this band, no turning back :D Just added this song to my playlist :D Piano version at the end is amazing. His voice is fricking wow!
YESS I SAW THEM LIVE AND THEY FR MAKE MUSIC TO SING THEM LIVE ,,, THE CROWD WAS SO LOUD AND IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE
I've been a one ok rock fan even before an army. Love your reaction. listening to them really takes me back ♡♡
Videos really do no justice to this live performance. The drums and energy from the crew and crowd is insane! Taka is amazing. This is my favorite live I've ever been to and the fans are amazing. We met so many great people in the vip line and sang and made vids. You'll be in your feels and hyped at these shows!
I saw these guys in Orlando and my god, hearing them live is something else. Would totally love to see you get into more of their songs, I would recommend "the beginning" or "save yourself"
You can already tell, I'm sure, but they've expressed multiple times how much they love playing live and back then, after their first international performance in a Korean rock fest, they said their goal was to play in the USA because they knew a North American tour would open them up to playing everywhere and I just love that for them.
I am always so happy to see more people discover OOR. They are an amaziiiiiing band.
I just went to my 4th live One Ok Rock concert. Sooooooooooo good. The energy is amazing!
Taka's voice is really amazing 😍, when the first time I saw their live video, I was like WTF?! ,how can he performed this good in live?! He can hit every note perfectly even when he running around on stage, that is amazing skill.
If you want to know more about OOR'S other members, I highly recommend their documentary "Flip a coin" on Netflix, every member in this band is amazing and adorable, and they really put a lot of effort into their live performances.
Loved your reaction so had to subscribe! I love when someone like you who is also a vocalist recognizes how talented Taka is. The band started in 2005 and Taka pretty much wrote all the music and lyrics for their songs. Recently because they have recorded abroad, there are more producers listed but by the lyrics, you just know Taka has written them. To really hear how great his voice is, you have to listen to him singing Adele's Hello and Easy on Me. He is singing it in the same key as Adele and he kills it. Hope you will react to more One OK Rock music. Everyone talks about Taka but the other 3 members of the band are phenomenal too.
Omg! That piano version😮🤟🎸. They are soooooo great! Yes rock is back🤟
I'm so happy to be watching you react to one ok rock :) I saw them in September and I hold my fancams near and dear to my heart. I'm so glad I've gotten to see them, when I became a fan 3-4 years ago I never thought I would.
If anyone gets a chance to see them on this tour you should do it! Its sold out but maybe some resellers are out there and it's totally worth it :)
Love your reaction! We were up at the stage and Taka had us jumping and the floor was moving lol! I was like whoa but it was a Hella good time! This entire band is special for sure! Great messages in the lyrics.
I love the song esp when it was first introduced in Rurouni Kenshin's The Final. There are some some videos uploaded by One OK Rock where they show how the song came to be, as a collaboration with Ed Sheeran :).
Hearing them live is so amazing. Highly recommend!
This song was co-written with Ed Sheeran and is the soundtrack to the movie Rurouni Kenshin, you should check that movie, it was awesome
Love your reactions to them! I really like some constructive comentary! ☺️
Yes, there are some introduction fan videos of yt, but also the band made multipl tour documentarys throuout the years - but recently they did make a docu film with Netflix! ‚Flip a coin’. You can both meet the band, see how they work, and get to know some of their history in the meantime. I would love to see a reaction/comentary if you can post it on youtube! (you don’t have to show much of the documentary, for copyright) or even patreon if needed.
I saw even better fan cams from this tour (idk ab this song). The fans are entusiastic, but also respectful, and sometimes someone get enough luck, good phone camera and good spot, that the fan cam os really worth checking - bc most fans want to see how is the new album sounding live, and we will have to wait a but for oficial live recordings xD
And yeah, OOR evolver their songs, when you listen to a lot of live recordings of the same song, you can see that, and the band seem to try to make every concert special for this audience. Not to mantion specyfic diffrent arrangements, like acustic studio sessions, and a tour with an orchesra 😁
Hope you gonna react to some more from them, aspecially the ‘Flip a Coin’ documentary on Netflix!
as someone who was at the show in that fancam… the fancam did it no justice AT ALL… from taka’s voice to the crowd singing … it was honestly a surreal moment that you could tell the fans had been waiting a very long time to experience (me included.. i lost my voice after this song) that, sadly, the phone couldn’t completely capture
Taka's cover of Hello by Adele is beautiful and a must listen!!
I came across One OK Rock thru Rurouni Kenshin live action adaptation. Their songs were post credit songs of the movies. I love the band afterwards. They are soooo good and talented.
considering your love for evolving tracks, you should check out to the 3 versions of Fukai by Dir en Grey, there's the original release as a side track on the Single Kasumi, then he kinda changed the vocals completely for the live version during the Vulgarism Tour and then years later they dropped a Best of Album, Vestige of Scratches, where he changed it again and I love each version a LOT, it's one of my favorite songs by them!
And it s even better in live. Luxury Diseas Tour Tokyo Dome, i highly suggest to take a look at that
defs recommend their older mvs from around 2014, i absolutely love them! they've had an amazing journey
One Ok Rock are so amazing and underrated.
Love this song, thanks for reacting to it!
I like the live version of "Taking off"
If you want something like a documentary about them, "Flip A Coin" is on Netflix
The Beginning and No Scared are two great songs!
You haven’t seen We Are yet.
Hahaha!
Can’t wait.
Watch the live Ambitions dome tour and also the 18 FES version.
He already has watched We Are.
Check out their song “change” accoustic version. You’ll enjoy it!
I recommend you "Clock strikes". See the clip and the live of mighty long fall tour at Yokohama stadium.
It's never a wrong idea to expand your options. It doesn't matter if it's just a personal preference you're trying out, or a UA-cam channel. If something doesn't work, just don't do it again, and if it does work, you have a new option. I like everything Japanese in music, so far. From traditional, and all the way to rock and metal. But one okay go is one of my favorite bands. And this was well before it was used as a intro to Naruto.
Holding Absence- let's go
Hi, Taka has a brother ( Hiroki) who has his own band, My First Story, there are many songs like Alone, Memories and Paradox. Maybe you like them. Have a great day 💖
oh wow looks like the same concert i went to in nyc but i was in the nosebleed section lol
I don't know if that's something you're interested in, but I'd suggest listening to a few older songs as well, because they're really great and it could be interesting to see how they changed and progressed. A few of my favourite songs are The Beginning, Liar and Karasu the orchestra version in Yokohama Arena
Am I the only one who would love to see him react to Yesung from Super Junior covers of One Ok Rock?
I saw this tour in Orlando last month.
It was so amazing.
Everyone in the crowd knew the lyrics and sounded way better than this crowd.
Wow!! Thanks for reacting to the links in my last comment! 🙏
You're totally right about live fancams, they're usually horrible due to the shaky camera "Blair Witch" effect you mentioned, and also because not a whole lot of bands nowadays sound great live. Taka and OOR are the real f'n thing. 🤘🤘
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a really good "Intro to One OK Rock" video like there is for BTS. I wish there was... Some brief history on the members and how the band started:
As some other commenters have mentioned, Taka's parents are both high profile singers in Japan singing more traditional Japanese music. They wanted him to kinda follow in those footsteps and taught him how to sing from an early age and then entered him in Japanese talent shows. He hated it, and in the end wound up falling out with them and leaving home. He went to live with his grandmother and worked in a restaurant, which is where Toru found him and convinced him to join OOR. Ryota was a high school friend of Toru and actually didn't play any instruments at the time and learned how to play the bass so he could join the band! Tomoya was a student in music school and was the last member to join. They debuted in 2005, but settled into this 4 piece band in 2010, which is when they really took off in Japan.
Their catalog is long and very diverse. Early on they played a lot of pop-punk, then went into an emo-rock period which has their heavier songs. Now they've kinda settled into a slightly more mature phase for lack of a better way to put it.
As for suggestions for next songs, I'd probably go with "The Beginning." That's the song that really catapulted them into superstardom in Japan when it was used as the theme for a movie adaption of a Japanese manga. There's both a music video that's pretty cool and tons of live performances, of which I'd probably recommend the one from the Eye of the Storm tour. Links below...
Enjoy the journey! I've watched many of your BTS reactions and am loving your foray into OOR now. Have subscribed and will now be joining your Patreon to follow along.

Live from the Eye of the Storm tour - ua-cam.com/video/h1PN7LEH2Vs/v-deo.html
Next "Beginning" thank you
There is a very cool BTS 3 part video on the writting of this song with Ed Sheeran. It's really good and insightful! Should check that out!
Damn. Been a fan of them but first time hearing this.
The problem I have is that I'm kinda hesitant to hear new music released by my favourite music as there are times that the new ones come out not totally awful but kinda disappointing.
But this band? They always deliver!. Thanks for the review!
Stand Out Fit In by One Ok Rock is a 10/10
HELL YEAH💖💖💖
You should check out his live covers of adele and such. His voice is almost the same as the recordings. Clock strikes. Nobodys home. Deeper deeper. kanzaku dreamer. All the heavier stuff are the older japanese ones
If you want to see again how amazing Taka-san is during a live performance, please react to "Cry out" live XXXV 35 concert.
I was in this concert😊
One OK Rock is THE rock band in Japan
Japanese bands are generally amazing live.
You know it's good when artists like Ed Sheeran work with OOR despite the language and culture difference. Love this band, always have.
Pleeeeeaaaasseee listen to broken heart of gold it blew my mind when I heard it. I adore it
Check our When I Was King and We Are live ver.. Its so awesomeeee!!😭❤
Please consider reacting to the piano version of this. Yes, less rock. It's a studio version. But Taka's voice is mesmerizing!!
The piano version is my favorite ☺️ they have an acoustic version too by the way
Taka is amazing voice 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So many good songs but my fav is we are, but it’s a very emotional one
Taka voice just too clean😍
Check out save yourself too
