They made the song after hearing the worries of thousands of teens from Japan. So in Japan when you turn 18 they can vote on political issues but the older generations belittle their opinions like “you’re to young you don’t have any say in what goes on in politics” so they are frustrated because they are considered adults at 18 but yet their opinions don’t matter. So after hearing around a thousand videos of teenagers saying how frustrating it is one ok rock made the song we are for them. And had a special performance called fes18 with the 1000 teens. It was very touching and I believe that you would love to see that performance.
They have a documentary about it! I think I watched it on UA-cam!
I just discovered this band, and love this song. Minutes ago I watched a live version with the kids singing along with them, I only wish the whole video had english subtitles, so I could understand what he said to all the kids before they played the song, but it seemed obvious that it was a very heartfelt message to them.
I thought the song refer to The Renegades....not this one
I thought We Are was written about depression, anxiety and unaliving one self, and renegade was the political one?
It's true tho. You are still pretty much brain dead at 18 years old. America you can vote at 18 as well, still stupid
He was actually not feeling well at this concert. This was the reason this concert delayed for almost an hour. This song was the last song of the encore, and still sound amazing. I suggest CLOCK STRIKES live in Yokohama Stadium. Pls note to alwasy choose their live performances. Thanks!
I didn’t know that. What happened to him? 🥺 Do you know anything?
@@TheRedThread039 Taka Was sick at this concert,
Ryota,Toru,Tomoya all off them feel tired
Taka in the clean versions on the albums is always impressive, but Taka's voice mid-tour is just magical. Only once have I experienced him off-key and that was due to poor equipment. Toru once said that they consider their albums to be an invitation to their concert. The real version of their music is a live version. :)
TFK and ONE OK ROCK are the best live. The cleanest vocals I've ever heard from walking, to running, and jumping!!!!
Just to give you a little background on why the audience is so into the song... The song was written for the younger generation 18 year olds. They had young adults submit videos of them, and the band as a whole watched and every one of them and chose 1000 of them to sing this song for the 18 fes. That's a very emotional version to check out. But basically, when the song was written, the legal voting age in Japan had been changed to 18. A lot of the older generation was not for that, thinking that these young adults should just work. The band usually ends their shows with this song because of the impact and message it has. Even as an older guy, this song gets me every time. I found it at a very rough part of my life. And it helped me through. Great reaction! There are a couple of other Japanese bands that you should check out as well!
This was one of the songs that I had on repeat during the hardest parts of the Covid lockdown when I was alone. I still can't listen to this song without crying. That is the power of music. Hope you are doing better now.
@@ginnylin i completely understand. I'm the same with the song myself. I hope you are in a better place my friend!
What are two other Japanese bands we should check out too! Please tell us
@@user-jg3oe6po3h So many, depending on your style. Band Maid is probably my favorite. But if you want something heavier, Nemophila, more jazzy, Tri4th. The lead singer of One OK Rock, his brother has a band called My First Story. But some other great bands, Hanabie, Sokuninaru, Love Bites, Trident, Stereopony, Wagakki Band
@@mlm5150 I think it's worth checking them all out.....Thanks for your reply
I'm new here and can honestly say I watch 3 maybe 4 reactors and you are now near the top of that short list. You listen, and rarely pause. But then One Ok Rock is one of the most talented bands, not only Japanese bands, but ALL rock bands currently making music. They are, they ARE, "the colors in the dark."💜
ONE OK ROCK really pulls out this powerful drive. Highly recommend hearing "The Beginning", "Clock Strikes","taking off", and "I was King".
I can’t believe that I heard those 4 songs live yesterday after such a long time😭
deeper deeper , cry out , liar , take me to the top , and mighty long fall , for more heaviest stuff from them .
Yeah 🤘
deeper deeper is definitely my favorite song of OOR
Just to let you know a little bit about the band - It consists of 4 members, Takahiro Moriuchi, or just Taka for short is the vocalist and IMHO one of the best rock voices still out there; Toru is the guitarist and the leader of the band; The bassist you like a lot is Ryota, who is actually married to Avril Lavigne’s sister; finally Tomoya is the drummer and a drumming genius.
They don’t have quite the worldwide following of BTS yet, but hopefully are trending that way. They’re obviously huge in Japan, but are trying to blaze the trail for Japanese artists outside of their homeland by transitioning to English and playing lots of small shows to win over crowds in the US and Europe.
This song We Are is actually one of Jungkook’s favorites! They also did a short rock version dancing to Dynamite just for fun which you can search up… 😅
Finally, I’d probably agree with the other commenter that the Renegades MV is a good next step. It’s a fully English song that was a collaboration with Ed Sheeran. A lot of lyrics are really meaningful and that song is no exception…
Ohhh can’t wait to hear it! And thank you for the info! I am seriously loving what I’m hearing from them so far and it’s weird lol for me this is the exact opposite way I normally get into bands, like I’ll hear their music THEN see if they are good live but with One Ok Rock I’ve only heard them live and I know they crush it! I love it!
I said before in a previous comment that I’m like you - came from rock and metal and that BTS has been a real eye-opener for me - I’m a die hard ARMY forever… But musically, and from the rock band based background that I came from, OOR just hits different.
You’ll hear lots of suggestions for next songs and Renegades is a nice next step for sure. However, their older catalogue is heavier stuff and they draw a lot from late 90’s and early 2000’s emo / modern rock. In fact, they were scheduled to tour with Linkin Park just before Chester left us, and during the US tour the moment of silence in Take What You Want became a tribute to him. I naturally gravitate towards their older heavier stuff but completely understand the musical choices that they’re making trying to break into the international market. If you want an idea of their heavier stuff and to hear Taka scream Deeper Deeper would be a great choice…
A last tidbit is that OOR is the favorite rock band for Luke from G.O.T. Games that you interviewed for the Breaking the Stereotype series. Cheers and freakin’ toodles!!
This is a comment from Japan. I turned 50 and became a fan of theirs this year. I've noticed that the comments on their songs are broadly spread from people in their fifties to people in their seventies who are the same age as me. Many comments have been written that they were attracted to their songs by experiencing life milestones and sad events.
yesss One Ok Rock are the best!
They are on tour in the US right now you might be able to get tickets. They don't have huge stadium tours in the US like in Japan so it will be smaller venues.
How is it that every reactor in history pauses at the best moment of the song and never rewinds
My son is 21 and tells me the world is going to be the ultimate in individualism. But I think everyone has a desire to be connected with someone deep in their hearts.
Pls react to One Ok Rock Mighty Long Fall live Yokohama stadium
Second this! 👆🏻
They have a documentary about them on Netflix, the name is flip a coin
Japan’s Treasure One Ok Rock! 🤘👍👍🏾👏👏👏👏👏
You should watch the "18 FES" version cause it is amazing what they did with the kids 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i wanna go to their concert ugh
Literally just saw them live last night and now I'm sad 😭 I hope they come back asap
I went to ONE OK ROCK's very first 'one man live' (solo where they didn't have to share the stage with other bands to cover gig costs) at ShibuyaAX all the way back in 2008 when I was an exchange student in Japan. They were still a 5-piece then. Can confirm they've been incredible performers even since then, they were all only around 20 years old at the time with only one full album under their belts (they were promoting a mini album, Beam of Light) but were killing it. Insane talents, honestly. Taka's voice was as raw and emotional then as it is now, even without much life experience. AX was knocked down years ago and I don't recall the capacity, I think there was only around 2000 people there; but they managed to make it feel like an enormous arena performance.
Damn, you are so lucky to saw OOR when they still have 5 members
@@hotahotaru791 yeah I was very lucky! I got to see them twice with 5 members that year. Didn't realise I was seeing an endangered animal just before it went extinct. 😅
I’m glad Ryota (the basist) is geting thw love this time, I think he isn’t as often praised, amongs all the reat of the talents of this band xD
If you wanna hear something heavier from them, I would defo recomend ‚One by one’ (live at Saitama Superarena)
And for Taka’s amazing vocals ‚Good goodbye’ (Saitama) or ‚Taking off’ (studio jam session!) (with a delicius base!)
The crowd always sings with them
I just saw them live in Minneapolis and they fricken killed it! No contest one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They had so much energy and kept it going nonstop the whole show. Taka is just insane and he sounds just as good live as he does in studio.
Taka,s voice and his singing abilities are insane and their lives concerts are must to watch some day! Please, trry some older song like Liar, Chaosmyth, Clock strikes, The beginning..there are hundreds of great songs to choose. And if you would like to hear other side of Takas voice, please, just watch Karasu live with orchestra, Wherever you are. I followed them almost from their debut. A nd ...Taka is from very musicaly gifted family, his younger brother si gs in another band My First story, they both look much alike, even their voices are similar..try My first story - Alone.
Just Saw ONE OK ROCK In Orlando - It was Freaking Amazing!!! Watch 20/20 live!
I love the live version of "cry out" (from Ambitions Japan tour). it shows that not only Taka knows how to handle his voice 😍
But the live versions of deeper deeper, the beginning or vandalize are also 🔥
You should also listen to their
live of " Clock Strikes "35 xxxv tour . Taka's vocal range is reality just amazing.
They're on tour in the US right now - mostly sold out venues
You probably have heard this but Ryota didn't even play bass when this band first formed, he and guitarist, Toru, were in a hip-hop dance troop and Toru convinced him to learn the bass. Also, Ryota is married to Avril Lavigne's sister.
So I just went to one of their live shows on Oct 1, 2022. It really is this good, even with a much smaller venue the energy was the same, I cannot describe how amazing these guys are live. It’s nuts and it was one hell of a show.
I hope they come to Germany again so Ican see them live again ☺
YES!! I just saw them in Atlanta and they sound even better live!
This Album "Ambitions" has actually an English version ;)
2015 concert “decision” Taka w/green hair… the stage set is this whole wall of metal scaffold in background. One of my faves.
Omg I love this song so much 😭
Thank you for reacting to this one!! This is a wonderful train to be on lol. If you are wanting to watch an MV, you can try "The Beginning" or "Renegades". Or "Clock Strikes" live performance. There are live performances of "The Beginning" too. :D
I love this song! But honestly I can say the same thing about all of their songs! I so wish to see them live in Japan. Japanese concerts are always on another level. And I mean ALL concerts of ALL musicians organized in Japan are on another level!
Lol I knew you would love this. Next renegades music video from oneokrock please
First MV by One Ok Rock!!! Just might have to! 😂😂
@@JohnReavesLive lol the mv is so good and the song is good like all of their songs 👍
@@nolonolo5262 maybe we MV / Live Performance it?!?!
Renegades came out during Covid, so there are sadly no official live recordings of it yet, just tons of live fancams. I’m sure you know how hard it is to sound good on one of those but they still do and here’s one from the closest show to you in Atlanta on their current tour that’s not too bad - ua-cam.com/video/UmOwjFh01rg/v-deo.html.
However, there is a live in studio acoustic piano-only version that I’d probably go with instead - ua-cam.com/video/JmCsAtjuY3k/v-deo.html
@@JohnReavesLive there is no live performance with it so far. only fancams. but the music video is really good and the song is.
We are lucky they tour in North America often.I'm in western Canada and have seen them several times.If you get a chance don't miss them.
His studio was amazing but his live is incredible ❤❤❤ i love their live even more only this band that i think his vocal more and more better than studio recording
One OK Rock routinely sells out concerts in Japan. They are seasoned performers so it’s kinda disappointing that they perform in such small venues in America. I am hoping they’ll be able to perform at Coachella or Lollapalooza next year. Kudos also to the Japanese audience. If you notice, they DO NOT have their phones out. They’re engaged which makes it so fulfilling to perform there. One song you should check out is the sing I Was King performed with a live orchestra.
Yes. They performed with a orchestra. So crazy.
YOOOOO They coming To Oakland in October 13
You must react to One by One and Mighty long fall live. So sick live.
I'm glad you've started reacting to these guys! I discovered them when he performed at the Chester Bennington tribute and then I kind of forgot about them a bit. You're reminding me to get back to them! Thank you! They're so good!
I love them so fucking much for there music and the meanings behind.
Pls also react to Renegade MV or the Piano version 😭
Thank you for listening to this song
If you want to hear Taka's wonderful singing, please listen to “Good Goodbye”
I think your suggestions are great!❤
I agree. I like the arrangement of the 35xxxv tour.
@@ame_user-pu3rf3zo4n ❤️
Thanks for this reaction.
More ONE OK ROCK please.🔥
Save yourself, Renegades, The beginning, Mighty Long Fall, ONE by ONE ,vandalize,
by OOR!
They are widely known by their great live performances.
TAKA(vo) is a really talented singer!!
That was awesome! @JohnReevesLive ..if i can make a wish: would it be possible to put the links to the videos in your description box? I saw other reactors do it and its so helpful when you want to watch the video again and give them a click :) . For the last video from One OkRock I searched for quite a while to find the exact one...
I seriously want you to listen to their studio jam sessions they are amazing as well. I want you to hear even more pure talent of this band through that as well.
More One Ok Rock live stuff
wooow One Ok Rock always makes me cry with this song, I follow the band since 2010 and I was lucky to see them live both in Argentina (where I'm from) and in Japan and they never disappoint... I recommend "The Beginning" and "Heartache"...you have a new subscriber here, hugs from Buenos Aires.
They are awesome & they also have their own messages like BTS. I hope you get a chance to watch the 18 fest that they did with a crowd of just young 18 yrs old. Please find the one that has English sub. The lead singer gives the young adults a great message & advice regarding growing up. Thanks for reacting to O’CLOCK! ❤💜
Yes!! 🎉
I'm right there with you. Both times I got chill bumps listening to him. And this is what I grew up with, all the metal concerts. All I can say is WOW! Feels like home 😁 Also, they are giving me a bit of Thirty Seconds to Mars vibes. Wouldn't put it past Jared Leto that he's seen these guys. Oh, and his voice also gives me Jeff Keith, singer of Tesla, vibes. That's in no way dissing them. I love Tesla & Thirty Seconds to Mars. Can't wait for the next one!! 💜
I love both those bands to death…
@@JL-sc3pi Me too. Especially Tesla. 💜And I totally appreciated your comment below with the info 💜
Don’t worry when it comes to Taka he’s vocals are real and as live as they can be 🤭😊😊
Can you react to a band called Mrs. GREEN APPLE? Their vocalist there is honestly amazing, especially his falsettos. He's insanely good at controlling his voice.
I recommend their song "Boku no koto" live or "Ao to Natsu" live concert videos here on youtube
we need to talk about One Ok Rock, their music is amazing, their lyrics are insane and they only come at the right times.
I became a big fan of the band, it became a dream to see them up close and feel this energy live must be something out of this wooorlld ♥️
They are on their North America tour right now. Get yourself a ticket to see them live
John Reaves.....So glad you've come aboard the ONE OK ROCK train ....you'll never regret the ride ......😉
I've seen this live stage so many times but somehow it made me cry today... you can just feel the emotions of the band and the entire arena and it got a bit overwhelming hah
One oke rock, man with a mission, band-maid, coldrain, flow, kana-boon, crystal lake, ms green apple, scandal, hyde, my first story. Just a few good ones and still alot i haven't discovered. Listenmore to japanese than metal the last 2 years
you just reminded me of how much i loved one ok rock back in 2016, thank you sm
you also should watch their live: I Was King (from Orchestra Japan Tour)
Happy that more people are getting into them! Just went to their concert a week ago and it was truly AMAZING!
Maybe you could react to their song called when i was king on one ok rock orchestra concert.. it was crazy! 😍
"Last Dance" is a personal fave of mine 💜
My favorite songg 😭🔥
I’m so glad you have found this band. They are amazing. I actually found them through BTS.
They just did a live show here in Orlando and me and my son got to go. They were phenomenal.
Next react to One Ok Rock - I Was King live orchestra version for sure.
If u would like to hear the bass more then react to One Ok Rock - Depper Depper live
Just stumbled on this reaction tonight and I love this band. This song is my favourite of them. BUT the BEST rendition is one where they sang with 1,000 18 yr olds that acted as like a backup choir for them. It is a magical performance. If you look for One ok Rock - We Are 18Fes that's the video. I think it was to celebrate Japan dropping the voting age from 20 to 18 or something like that. chills every time I watch it.
Next, please react to "Mighty Long Fall" live from Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium. It's pure hype!
I think you should really listen to their song "The beggining" next!!! Its one of their most popular songs and its so god damn amazing.
They are just so amazing!!
The whole world should know One Ok Rock, they are super talented! If you really liked it, watch the documentary they made in the pandemic. During the pandemic, they were missing doing shows, so they did a show without an audience and it was really cool, they had a lot of work and care to pass the same energy of listening to them live.
What's amazing about OOR is that for all the Japanese bands that have toured in the US over the years, they are the only ones who seem to consistently sell out shows tour after tour - they are truly an amazing band and if you ever get the opportunity to see them live - take it!! I have seen them almost every single time they've come to the US and am always blown away by their performance.
Also I am biased because these are my favorite songs, but I definitely recommend Clock Strikes and the 18Fes performance of We Are! You will get chills.
Taka is the best vocalist of this generation by far. It's not even a competition. And it's not even his band. The guitarist is the lead of the band.
Fun fact One of the band members married to Avril Lavigne’s sister
and a nother on e - Taka almost debuted in Johnnys idol gruop NEWS.....so good he quited.
That’s Ryota, the bassist Reavesy likes!!
Believe it or not, Taka was putting out this UNREAL performance while he was sick.
This song was meant as a show of support for the young people of Japan, who at the time were publicly expressing depression and hopelessness about their future.
We Are basically became their anthem.
So good to watch you and your shining eyes watching them performing. I was thinking John must be dying to be there and even on stage !!! 😁🤘💜
Revisited this to see how the journey started , you note people emotional and crying in the crowd … if you knew then what you know now …. Nuts 🥜 💪🏼😂
I heard them in concert a few weeks ago and they sound better live than they do on the record. Amazing!
It's so cool that the stage was also shaped like a guitar 💥
My absolutly ABSOLUTLY absolutly favorite song from them. Bis voice the crowd fucking amazing
I just recently discovered OOR and they're definitely the best rock band I've heard in the last decade. Seriously, these guys are fucking unreal. The live performances especially just blow me away. They're on my bucket list and I hope I can catch them here in America.
There is another live version of this song, Called We Are 18 Fes, it had 1000 17-19 year old fans singing as backup during the performance. It's on one of NHKs youtube channels.
For music video songs I would suggest either Liar or Renegades. Most other songs are better live.
Any of their live videos are amazing, especially when they add in an orchestra, it's a whole new experience. Check out Cry Out or I Was King.
Are u believe that Taka actually was suck during this last performance? He is so amazing
I think you will react to "Where ever you are" someday, but I think the live performance at ambitions japan tour is the best.
I love One Ok Rock with all my soul and also I love that Final Fantasy VI Main Theme song at the end of the video.
love his song wherever you are and heartache
As a 10 year fan of OOR I can say that their live performance are amazing. I've seen them 4 times now and each time I am blown away. Their live performances differ so much from the studio recordings. The imperfections and the raw emotion make their live shows the best!
Their live is so much better than the studio versions. I think the next should be I was King and Push back
You should watch wasted night and go through another life change experience
Idk why but it gives me Queen circa Live Aid. He is so in tune with the crowd
I’d like to suggest an older song with a kinda heavier sound, Liar
MV: ua-cam.com/video/SAHvDE9FFAE/v-deo.html
Live: ua-cam.com/video/cdKZlPGEo8w/v-deo.html (btw the last 2 minutes or so of this live video is Taka talking, person who uploaded it cut it that way)
Please react to their live performance of I Was King with the orchestra!! It’s amazing!
I totally agree with your opinion❗️
They are incredible. I love the music ❤
I Was King live with an orchestra is a must!!!!
Enjoyed your OOR reactions, looking forward to more! Thanks!
this is seriously one of my favorite bands, they are from Japan but lately most of their songs have been mostly in English with a verse or so in Japanese. i would highly recommend stand out fit in or renegades as music videos to watch, the mv for this song is also amazing, but the one for renegades made me tear up
Really any song of there’s is amazing, maybe check out “clock strikes” it was my intro song to the band 8 months ago
