I have so much respect for anyone who've gone through this. As an Asian immigrant, first generation to be in American school, I had such a tough time trying to fit in. I did manage to fit in at the cost of so much regrets and resentments towards myself about how I treated my parents. My heart breaks everytime I listen to this song. Thank you guys for reacting to it and truly amazing to watch you two. Proud to be subscribed to you guys.
While not first generation, I did live the vagabond life of a military brat. I have moved 26 times. Once it was 4 new schools in 4 years in different communities and provinces. Brutal. While not a person of colour all of my extended family is, and I am so so so grateful that I grew up with different colours, sometimes different languages and always different experiences than me. I’m 58 and this song STILL rings true. Be yourself …. except…. follow someone else’s rules and expectations. Don’t talk about all the places you have lived with people who have never been out of their province, and sometimes their little community. Definitely don’t have family that is black, Asian, Indigenous, Italian or Ukrainian. It was sometimes brutal but never ever what it was like for my extended family who never looked like me.
I know it’s not the same we should be happy of who we are this is so relatable of Asians I use to get bully when I was little and now I like pick on people now I feel so bad for people like the title Stand out fit in kinda is the meaning of our lives I regret being this type of way of being a new person this story makes people emotions deep it’s like white peoples judging black people trying to learn in American school is hard we need more people treating people with more respect and kindness like yes I got robbed 3 times I lost like 40k dollars in total it makes us stay home and go back to our country and learn there and we just cry and want to be someone else because like you lost your body like you listen to them you become them this really fits in the Asian community
Thank you for picking up their song. I'm not good at English, so I used a translation tool for the following sentences. There may be some unnatural parts. They are not Japanese American. They are all Japanese rock groups. Taka was not a returnee and learned English later. Currently he lives in both the United States and Japan. Therefore, his English has improved considerably. Their songs have more English lyrics as they expand overseas. There are both pros and cons about that, but it is also true that some foreigners find it cooler to include Japanese lyrics. In any case, I look forward to their soulful lyrics and performances in the future.
One Ok Rock is made to be on stages. They are amazing. Many years performing, many albums, everything is amazing. I prefer their old stuff because it is harder. Love them. My favourite japanese band. I love Taka´s voice. Not many rock singers have such an incredible voice. And the crowd is always amazing in concerts. You will be mind blown if you see them them live. Any song you pick live is spectacular.
My take on it, (the one that stood out to me at least) was after the car crash. And he started dancing. You see his hair turns blond? Stand out. And the people dancing with him looks like they're trying to push him down. Fit in. But he kinda overcame that and his hair turned back to black and to his Younger self. Maybe as he tried to fit in, he also slowly loses his childlike self. Only by overcoming that that he revert back to be a child. Or ones closer to his roots. No need to stand out or to fit in. Or maybe, him turning back to a child means that of realization and acceptance of himself
Thank you for reacting to this! For an Asian American, this song means so much and shows a glimpse to what many of us go through as kids and even still as Adults.
And not just Asian cultures. African, Middle Eastern, even Eastern European. I may be wrong, but I find the US to be the most racially intolerant country I have ever experienced. Instead of embracing the beauty in ALL cultures they insist people lose their culture, their language, the very soul of who they are and become some weird version of European descendents, forgetting that every single country of the early immigrants fought to keep their cultures (hence bagpipes and cabbage rolls).
Oh thank you for reacting to One OK Rock. Please watch their live concert, particularly, their "We Are" performance. The song is so uplifting and heartwarming. And Taka is an outstanding vocalist and frontman. You will definitely be blown away.
lol Thank you!! This is why I wanted you guy to listen to One Ok Rock... Their songs are not only amazing but will get you thinking.. in some ways they are kinda like BTS with how they use their music to broadcast issues that need to be heard. Also they are a Japanese/American "rock" group so some songs are in both where they switch between the two and some are all English and some are in all Japanese . Like everyone in the comments are saying they are freaking AWESOME Live Taka who is the lead singing voice is soooo freaking amazing.... Thank you guys again for giving them a chance... Now on to the next song of theirs The Beginning live plz ;)
One ok rock was my gateway into everything Asian music they are amazing a lot of their music has deeper meaning like this... I highly recommend We are live 18fes version, change, renegades,
A lot of One Ok Rock's songs have a good meaning. React to WE ARE, FIGHT THE NIGHT, BE THE LIGHT, CLOCK STRIKES, DESICION, RENEGADES etc. Better react to live concert performance
I felt that the meaning of [they said] in the lyrics also included the meaning of myself. The video is Asian, but I think it applies to others as well. Also, I think it applies to work and groups of friends. I take it from various angles. I wondered if the last dance mismatch was the key.From the Japanese who live in Japan.
So yeah i think the meaning of the end is that even tho you already grown up but your parents still see that precious little inner child of you and that is yourself
thank you so much for reacting to OOR! i hope next time you watch their live perfomances. They're freaking good in live. I hope you check "WE ARE at Tokyo Dome" and "Cry out" thank you! ❤
React to the performance video of this music orchestra version please and if you don't see We Are, react to the performance of this song, because is sooooo good and beautiful
What I love about this song is how they put things that are kind of opposites together to represent the mixed messages we get. Shoot low, aim high. Eat up, stay thin. Stand out, fit in. I am an adult immigrant to Japan, and I used to try to be super Japanese. But Japan did not really accept me as Japanese, and there is more to me than my Japanese self. So now I am who I am. Deal with it or don't. PS, from Barbados so I know like 8 words of Creole. lol. Sak pa se.
OOR is not your typical band, all of their songs has a story to tell. Also, Taka and the group are way better live too~ hope u check their live/concert vids. 😊
One Ok Rock, OK sounds like “ock” as in “rock” or “clock” :) they named their band at 1 o’clock, which in Japanese phonetics sounds like one-ock-rock -> ONE OK ROCK
As immigrants we all feel this way at some point, right? We all do. The struggle trying to fit in to the culture which is not yours. But why, though. The culture is you, yourself, your family and your ancestors. That’s what makes you unique and individual. We are all different and we should all accept and respect it. By the way, I loved the translations. The mother still sees the boy’s innocence… I was confused with this MV half way from the accident, but that’s really a good transition.
late to your first time reacting, but that red figure is a Chinese Opera House Dancer. And you see after the car accident he starts dancing confidently along with the Chinese dancer, who is changing faces. But then his hair and eyes become blonde and blue, and the other kids his age show up and suddenly he's fumbling, he's dancing differently, he's falling down because he's trying to imitate their dancing instead of the Opera House dancer. But he doesn't know the steps, he doesn't know the rhythm, because he's not like the other kids. His roots are in Chinese culture. And he starts getting pushed and punished by the other kids his age but at the end of the song he's back to being a child, recognizing that he didn't need to be like the other kids. He went back to when he was proud of his Chinese heritage and not trying to fit in with the other kids. Which is when you see his mom smile, because she never smiled at him when he was pretending to be one of the other kids.
You can see in the beginning he’s good at math which is an Asian stereotype and they make fun of him, and then that one kid does the racist eye slant mocking him, and then when he brings out his authentic Asian food at lunch the kids think it’s “gross” and make fun of him. And then at his parent’s Asian restaurant the kids are drinking and then dine and dash. He then tries to blend in with those same bullies to fit in. And by the end he learns about what’s important and reverts back to that innocent child who is the “real” him.
Bruh,why you guys only suggest them the "soft" song(except for The Beginning) Reflection,Cry Out,Stuck in the Middle,Skyfall(Feat Masato(coldrain),MAH(SiM),Kenta(Crossfaith)),Right by your Side,Bombs Away,Ketsuraku Automation,Ending Story?? Is better than those "soft" songs you guys recommended

@Simon we truly appreciate you and this song hit hard, especially being Haitian immigrants going through the United States school system
My family and I immigrated to the US when I was 7. I totally feel your comment!

Посмотрите другие их клипы! Они тоже крутые.
Your personal stories and insights were really good! Thank you✨
What I love about this song is how they put things that are kind of opposites together to represent the mixed messages we get. Shoot low, aim high. Eat up, stay thin. Stand out, fit in.

The music video in my opinion explains that whatever color your skin is, in the end we all die the same. Stand Out, Fit In.
The young dude saw a glimpse of his life ahead of him,that's what it indicates.
Love this reaction. Definitely check out their other songs they don’t have a bad song
Please reaction we are Japan dome tour
Alternately, the time line we saw of the future didn't happen yet, and it was like a premonition of what could be!
Try listening to My First Story -- the lead singer (Hiro) is Taka's (One OK Rock lead singer) brother.
React to Renegades and Wasted Nights.
One Ok Rock, OK sounds like “ock” as in “rock” or “clock” :) they named their band at 1 o’clock, which in Japanese phonetics sounds like one-ock-rock -> ONE OK ROCK
More ONE OK ROCK, please!!!!

No matter how many "masks" you were wearing, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!
Bruh,why you guys only suggest them the "soft" song(except for The Beginning)
Reflection,Cry Out,Stuck in the Middle,Skyfall(Feat Masato(coldrain),MAH(SiM),Kenta(Crossfaith)),Right by your Side,Bombs Away,Ketsuraku Automation,Ending Story?? Is better than those "soft" songs you guys recommended
