Lead vocalist TAKA is a former member of the Johnny's Jimusho idol group NEWS. Members Toru and Ryota are former members of the rapping break dancing group HEADS. They released two indies mini-albums and made their major debut with their single, Naihi Shinsho in April of 2007.A nationwide tour predated the release of the band's debut studio album, Zeitakubyou, which was followed by two LPs, Beam of Light and Kanjou Effect, in 2008.
After Alex left the band in May 2009, the band released the single "Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer" on February 3, 2010. It was featured 9th in the Weekly Oricon Charts. They released their fourth studio album titled Niche Syndrome on June 9, 2010.

The band started when Toru, Alex and Ryota started it in high school. Shortly after the creation of the band Taka joined the group as the main vocals.

The group came up with the name "ONE OK ROCK" because they would book studio time at One o'clock. The Japanese pronunciation of ONE OK ROCK (ワンオクロック)is wanokurokku which sounds like One o’clock.

SONGS

actually a friend of mine had told me about them and shared some music with me, but i havent had the time to listen .whistle.
i listened to some songs you put now, they're not bad....

Ahhh, I was introduced to One Ok Rock by my friend too. They are really, genuinely good. They sing and play their instruments with passion. You can see it clear in their lives. Do take time to listen to them. I'm sure you guys will learn to love One Ok Rock!

this band is great.!!!
I've known this band since i watch J-Melo and saw their PV...!!! totally awesome...
especially the vocals...!!

for some reason everytime i hear their songs, suddenly i remember to UVERworld... .hmmm.

Oh. the first time i heard them was at the raid TBA and since then, i became a fan.haha
their songs are not bad, the vocals has superb range and a decent accent. XDD

Holy Cr*p!.boom. did they only performed one song @ Zepp Tokyo? or are they also releasing a Zepp Tokyo DVD? i want more of that... .fustrated.

Hey I'm so f*cking getting in to this band now! .rage. I'm currently in the process of discovering them and am listening to their entire Niche Syndrome album and all I can say is I'm .boom. !!

I always liked post-hardcore; Saosin/old Escape The Fate and although One OK Rock is clearly not post-hardcore, it reminds me of the two bands I mentioned! I guess because of the vocal range/slight screaming and the fast paced music..

And, it reminds me of Acceptance which sadly disbanded before they ever became really known and not after releasing a VERY good album.. So One OK Rock revives them for me.. .clap.

I hope more people hear of this band!

P.S. I learned about this band here at SH! In the Fun Corner of all places! in the Rate the Song Above thread...

well actually i just starting to listen to their songs bout 1 or 2 weeks before

and actually i watched the pv today via the link on upside post

Jibun Rock!! that's my fave

this band is multi talented even the mello songs are great

@Rudo: They just rock man.. "Never Let This Go" never fails to pump me up.. although actually, most of their songs never does fail to..

@DUL7 well i cant say that the song et cetera is rock though

one of my FAVOURITE DARN BAND !!! I Found this band from Naruto trailer who played Naihi Shinsho.... :ar!

and then until now this band growed up in my head !! and thankfully Takahiro out from NEWS, he's better in ONE OK ROCK XD

@RHEN
You only have to look at the 'What are you listening to now' thread to see how many of us like this band !
They remind me of a lot of good English bands and I really like their music.

They seem pretty good ^__^ another good band to follow ^__^

what's quite unusual about this band is they're even better live.
my favourite is kemuri live version.
even better than the recorded version. taka can really sing [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

i stumbled on one of their jobs (keep it real) on youtube and then BAM one of my favourite bands today =D
i must meet them before i die. gahhhhhhhhh

they now have an official facebook page.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

and heck! the re:make app made my facebook rock! or should i say, messed up..
.uhuh.

ONE OK ROCK! .love.
Fell in love with them a month or two ago when my friend introduced them to me, saying, "the vocalist used to be from Johnny's Entertainment."
Made me curious, so I listened to Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer and BAM! I'm a huge fan right now.

My fave is definitely TAKA of course (very obvious xD), and I'm kind of sad that Alex left the band because he is great.

Well, I'm in love with all their songs, and I can't go a day w/o listening to at least one of their songs now.

Looking forward to their new singles RE:MAKE/NO SCARED. .clap.

RE:MAKE PV on dailymotion. .uhuh.

yo guys! check out their songs from when Alex was still with them.. They rock! (well, I won't tire myself saying that!) Most of the songs are metal inspired courtesy of Alex, (I read in an early interview somewhere) as well as by post-hardcore (my observation)

try..

break my strings



reflection



and for those who love mellow songs.. here's a "semi" one..

my sweet baby



hope you like all of it! I did!
