The original version of this song was written by OOR and 5 seconds of summer. The recording version is definitely more upbeat. Taka's parents did go through a divorce. They are very public people in the music industry in Japan. This concert was in 2018 shortly after the untimely death of Chester Bennington, who was good friends with taka and OOR. They were planning on touring together. Its been said that the long silence was in honor of Chester. At the end, he thanks the audience for the given respect allowed. They have been together since 2005 so like 18 years. The two members that were friends before the creation of the band were Toru guitar and Ryota base. They were originally a 5 member band but they quickly realized realized who will stay. They are an honest to God amazing band. They play for 50000 fans stadium to 800 people bars still today with the same love and dedication. They are in their world tour right now. Check some if their fancams of concerts. Please check them out some more. They are amazing. ❤❤❤
I saw them this Sunday in Strasbourg. It was a small venue, only around 1000 people. And I can confirm : 10/10, would travel 500km, sweat 2L and lose my voice again.
The rasp in Taka's voice that's not usually there was due to him not feeling well that day, yet it made the song so much more emotional. Frankly, kudos to him for performing the full 2h+ show while feeling unwell, without making it feel like it was in any way inferior to their other live performances when everyone was in tiptop condition.
They were supposed to tour with Linkin Park, but Chester's sudden death prevented that from happening. I heard that this concert is a memorial concert for Chester and the long silence in the song is a prayer for Chester.😢
I saw them a month ago. They played in a small venue in Czechia (around 800 people) which is very different for them. They are very famous and they usually play for big crowd. At this concert, we were so close, interacting with them, clapping/holding hands, etc. It was the best concert I have ever been to. They themselves said they love it and that's why they are coming back here (they came to Czechia a few times before). Taka (vocalist) is one of the best frontmans I have ever seen. The way he sings, looking into the crowd like he wants us to feel what he's singing about, what he feels... He's very intense.
you are so right. the four of them are very close like family. Toru (guitarist) & Ryota (bassist) used to be together in a hip hop boyband when they were kids. when the band disbanded Toru asked Ryota to form a rock band together, which Ryota had absolutely no idea about playing bass. Toru is the leader by the way. he also invited Taka to become a vocalist. Toru waits every day at the cafe where Taka sings begging him to join. Taka finally agreed because he was annoyed with Toru who came every day to the cafe lol. they also asked Tomoya to become a drummer. since 2005, their teenage years have been spent at the practice studio from 1am (one o'clock) to dawn because renting a practice studio at that time is cheaper. also because the Japanese do not distinguish pronounciation between 'R and L', the mention of one o'clock becomes one ok rock sounds similar to the tongue of the Japanese. this is where the band name came from. They are close since then. Sorry my english so messy 🥲
@@robin8084 thanks for the response and correction 🤍. I know this story may not be quite right because I heard this story years ago. but it's so funny tho 😅 you guys respond in Japanese. I'm not Japanese 🥲😭
OOR has many songs with a positive message, their energy and their interaction with the crowd is amazing. Their lead singer Taka has a great voice and knows how to convey emotions. OOR writes almost all songs in such a way that there is room for the audience to sing along. The audience is basically the 5th member of the band. They look younger than they are. All members are now in their mid-30s, so they were in their late 20s/early 30s at the time of the video. This band is another rabbit hole to go down. 😉
That’s so amazing to hear! Thank you for hanging out and watching this one with me! I hope you decided to subscribe so I can chat with you in future video comments 😊
Just watched the live in London last week. The gest concert I've ever been to. They played Wemby Arena. They fill stadiums and should have played at the stadium and will hopefully if we can spread the word.
One OK Rock started in 2005, and the band members grow up together as a family, probably the reason why they are so tight as a band. They performed as 1 unit and not individually. Taka (vocals) is usually the songwriter for the band, he got inspiration in his experiences since he’s a teenager. He is a son of 2 famous singers in Japan, but ran away from home because of family matters. I believed that’s 1 inspiration of this song, the divorce of his parents. Other members are Toru(guitars), Ryota(bass), & Tomoya(drums). They are in their mid 30s now so not that young. Next recommendation is We are (18FES version).
I recommend their performance if We Are (Fes 18 version) this song was created by one ok rock after receiving over a thousand complaints from 18 year olds. The Japanese teens were frustrated about being treated as kids by older adults. They wanted to share their opinions in politics but the older adults were saying that they didn’t understand what they were talking about but at the same time being told that they are adults and need to act like it. So when they heard about this issue one ok rock made the song “We Are” and then did a collab with 1000 teenagers and performed the song with them. It was a very touching thing to see. (There are some details I might have wrong or didn’t include)
Every time I found reaction video about this song, I wonder if s/he try to get the meaning of the silent time and emotion. So I'm glad that you did and relate to that. Thank you.
Amazing reaction, would love to see more One Ok Rock on the Channel! Would recommend "DECISION ONE OK ROCK 2015 35XXXV JAPAN TOUR" (Copied the title so it's easy to find lol) since it's my personal favourite when it comes to showing the bands passion on their faces! If you watch it i would recommend paying attention to the bassist and the drummers faces since they really show a lot of emotion in this performance. edit: If you wanna see more long notes from Taka i would recommend any live version of "Clock Strikes"
I heard this song on the dome tour. I cried during the intro, and during the silent part, I was so focused on Taka that I couldn't breathe. When I pointed the microphone at the fans, I felt a sense of unity. I think OOR is a really cool band.
It's love grieving. You explained it so well, and its why I love this live performance and one ok rock so much. Being there in person to see them perform live really is an amazing experience.
Whenever I hear this, I think each section is the stages of grief or something like that. The beginning is heartbreak and sadness and the feeling of being crushed. Then there’s anxiety and confusion. Then there’s anger. And then at the end, it’s acceptance and moving on
Thanks for reacting to my band. The vocalist is called Takahiro Moriuchi, Toru is the guitarist and is the leader, Tomoya is the drummer, and Ryota is the bassist. Taka and toru are the ones who write and produce the songs. In "take what you want" Taka tells us the story of his family. He says that he does not want anything from his broken home since his parents divorced and that affected him a lot, Taka also left home at the age of 15 because he did not get along with his father (he is a very famous Japanese singer , his name is Shinichi Mori), I tell you that his mother is also a very famous singer (Masako Mori). Taka's father didn't want him to have a rock band, he didn't support him with his dream, that's why they were long distanced. Taka also has a younger brother named Hiroki, he also has a band "my first story", just this year they spoke again and luckily now Taka has a very good relationship with his family
If I am not mistaken, this song was written by Taka (the lead singer) based on his personal experience (the divorce of his parents). Btw, Taka was sick during this performance. He had a fever, and they had to postpone the concert for a few hours. But somehow, this condition added raspiness to his voice and he managed to finish this almost three hours concert in the most prestigious dome.
Taka’s rasp for this song is for theatrics. It adds colour to the performance. The long pause was a great choice, followed by - “Can you hear me?” It was one of my best performances for him. He shined and conveyed what he wanted. With this song, he took us on his journey of emotions and stories. When it ended we were on TAKA’s side and we empathized and understood his pain.
I highly recommend checking out more of their music. I would love to see more of your reactions to them. They are one of my all time favourite bands. One of the best songs, in my opinion, is We Are. I would recommend reacting to the concert/live version again.
Thank you for your comments on how important that moment is in the life of a person. You got many nuances people don't usually comment on, like it not being really hate but love grieving, that's just beautifully put. Great reaction!
I love how you go into detail with like examining the emotion & everything involved. You gained a subscriber! Also I just started listening to them 2 days ago & I’m wondering why I haven’t heard them before that!
Loved your reaction to my favorite band. Taka as the front man is phenomenal and his voice is so great especially when the song is very emotional. He writes most of the music and lyrics so the song is very personal to him and it shows. Their lives are their greatest strength because they give their all in their performances. Taka singing Adele's Hello shows his singing prowess because he is singing in the original key as Adele and does a superb job. Hope you can listen to it because you will be floored.
Him calling Taka 'YOUNG' sounds weird to me but I understand, if I didn't know Taka as an artist I would think the same, he looks like his age is somewhere between 22-25 when in fact he is 30 at the time of this concert 😅... As Taka gets more older, the more he looks younger and brighter. His looks can still pass as a college student, at least for me 😄.
Its so crazy to say this but Taka's 35 this year. the bassist Ryota is 33, and has been married to Avril Lavigne's sister Jessica since 2018 and they have a daughter together. Their songs are all designed to spread a positive message. Stand Out, Fit In, Be the Light, Clock Strike, The Beginning, We Are. They've got so many songs that you can just put on and turn off your brain and feel like "Things will get better with the world". Their live concerts especially have an almost spiritual nature to them, where they draw you into the exact moment almost like a church choir. You don't go to watch them live, you go to experience the world in that moment.
That depends a little on my mood but usually either something a little more chill, folk or indie, and some hip-hop. But overall I enjoy many different kinds of music (including this kind).
Hey, watch this of Taka crying while his parents was in the stadium 11 years ago. You won't regret! Emotional roller coaster. ruclips.net/video/_vSTZJTbkig/видео.html The song is written for Taka’s parents whom both believe that moving forward as a vocalist or a band member is difficult that they discourage him, despite the fact that his parents are famous singers themselves. This made taka decide to run away from home, live with his grandma while working part time jobs to get the money they need in starting up a band. How I interpret “nobody’s home” means the lack of support he got from home. But the song as a whole is asking for forgiveness towards his parents for what his done and telling them where he ended up.
I listen to pretty much anything casually but I tend to gravitate to more folk, indie, even quirky styles, late 90's/early 2000's hip-hop (80's if I'm feeling angsty) and I have been known to stick to the top 100 when I'm needing mindless background noise on a long car ride. But please don't misunderstand, this was great. I didn't intend any shade.

It wasn't written by 5sos. They are featured on the song, but they don't have any writing credits on it.
Yes they are features not the writers! Taka wrote it
I saw them this Sunday in Strasbourg. It was a small venue, only around 1000 people. And I can confirm : 10/10, would travel 500km, sweat 2L and lose my voice again.
I saw them at the House of Blues at Disney Springs (cp 1500).
It was amazing.

Frankly, kudos to him for performing the full 2h+ show while feeling unwell, without making it feel like it was in any way inferior to their other live performances when everyone was in tiptop condition.
I feel exactly the same way! Taka’s voice of that day made a really different feeling. I am so respectful of him.
They were supposed to tour with Linkin Park, but Chester's sudden death prevented that from happening. I heard that this concert is a memorial concert for Chester and the long silence in the song is a prayer for Chester.😢
I saw them a month ago. They played in a small venue in Czechia (around 800 people) which is very different for them. They are very famous and they usually play for big crowd. At this concert, we were so close, interacting with them, clapping/holding hands, etc. It was the best concert I have ever been to.

they also asked Tomoya to become a drummer.
since 2005, their teenage years have been spent at the practice studio from 1am (one o'clock) to dawn because renting a practice studio at that time is cheaper.
also because the Japanese do not distinguish pronounciation between 'R and L', the mention of one o'clock becomes one ok rock sounds similar to the tongue of the Japanese. this is where the band name came from.
They are close since then.
Sorry my english so messy 🥲
I knew it! 😊
Thanks for letting me know all of that information.
P. S.
Your English was just fine. あなたがここに来てくれて感謝しています。
@leiyavns
ちょっと違います。
Toruは小さなステージで下を向いて歌うTakaを見て「これだ！」と思い、それ以来Takaが働いているレストランに彼を勧誘するために通いました。
Takaが加入してしばらくして元のドラマーが抜けるので、その交代要員にドラマー養成所の学生であるtomoyaの存在をある人から教えてもらい、渋谷でメンバー全員で待ち合わせをしてレストランで顔合わせをした後、Takaの家に移ってドラムを叩いてもらい、即決ししました。
ちなみに元ドラマーのYu Koyanagi のお父さんも芸能人です。彼は俳優になるためにOORを脱退しました。

"It's not hate. It's grieving love."

They have always been an awesome group. One of the lead singer's best vocal performances, in my opinion, is his cover of Hello by Adele.
The chills. Why they’ve been my fav for 15+ years. And I love his reaction to their performance....so real
In fact, at the concert in this video, he had a cold and his throat didn't seem to be in the best condition.

"We are" from One Ok Rock 18Fest version
Haven't seen you before but seen this song reacted to a million times. I loved what you had to say about it. Would love to see you do another.
That's the way we have felt in all their songs in all the concerts I have attended for them, even the latest one they are on now. They are wonderful.
Thank you for your comments on how important that moment is in the life of a person. You got many nuances people don't usually comment on, like it not being really hate but love grieving, that's just beautifully put. Great reaction!

あなたのリアクションにビックリしました！彼らの事を何も知らないのに、この曲の背景をしっかり感じ取っている！
コメント欄で他の方が言っているように、この曲はボーカリストの家族の離別を元にボーカリスト(TAKA)が書いた曲ですが、
このコンサートでは尊敬していたリンキン・パークのチェスターに向けた追悼の気持ちが込められている。
だからメンバー皆が同じ気持ちでいる。それを、感じ取ったあなたは素晴らしい！
大切な人との別れは悲しさもあるけど、そこには苛立ちもあるものですよね。
その悔しさが声に現れていて、いつも泣いてしまう。
素晴らしい反応をありがとうございます！是非ONE OK ROCKの他の曲にも反応してください。沢山の感動する曲があります！

The music did not die in the late 60's and 70's but was reborn in Asia
2:15 I’m happy u got the feeling it’s sad.. so accurate

Hey, watch this of Taka crying while his parents was in the stadium 11 years ago. You won't regret! Emotional roller coaster. ruclips.net/video/_vSTZJTbkig/видео.html
The song is written for Taka’s parents whom both believe that moving forward as a vocalist or a band member is difficult that they discourage him, despite the fact that his parents are famous singers themselves.

You should react to "We Are" by On Ok Rock. The Ambitions live version. its the same concert as this.
Hey does anyone know the outro piano piece?
