APMAs 2017 Performance: ONE OK ROCK with special guest JOHN FELDMANN!

[@FANNIX-]

TO EVERYONE NEW TO ONE OK ROCK: Check out "the beginning". The music video and also most importantly the "live at yokohama stadium". You won't regret it. They have many more awesome songs but this song was the first song that I listened to. And it was amazing. Taka is amazing. The sound system here is shit. I am always sad for the band when this happens. Because the audience thinks that the band is bad. When in reality the singer (Taka) can not hear himself, because the sound system is bad. Still, I am fascinated how good Taka's voice was even if he couldn't hear himself. Like other comments already said here: this really shows how good of a vocalist Taka really is~

[@TTTR-pz6ox]

Fannix. - ONE OK ROCK Community Thank you for saying this Fannix. I happened to know audience were still amazed at this performance even though it was not OOR's best. One article even said OOR shined at the show. I just love this band so much. I want to protect them. 😢 They are really great band and they are rare kind.

[@FANNIX-]

I 100% agree with what you say. I understand your feeling. I want to protect them too! But good to know that articles say that OOR shined at the show. I am interested what they would write if Taka has a good sound system and sings Take What You Want~

[@thebookofday6oor361]

Oh my God! Fannix! I'm glad you're really here defending the band. I have been a fan of OOR for years and I am proud of how far they have come; The sound was crap. But they did their best, Taka seemed nervous for the same reason. They are the best band I've ever heard live. I want people to listen to any other songs from them live so they can see the talent of the whole ONE OK ROCK.

[@mami.ackerman3314]

Fannix. - ONE OK ROCK Community I wanted to leave my opinion on this performance, but I was satisfied when I saw your comments xD I quite agree with you, Fannix! You can say that again~! haha

[@WorldOfSancho]

I watched the APMAS live via twitch. When they sang "I was king" the people in the chat all wrote "I was gay". They had so much hatred an racism in this chat just because they are not and american band. I was really shocked about this happening. I agree with every single word of you Fannix!

[@MayMay-uu4ys]

I knew Taka was so nervous. The earphones problem, tone problem, he almost felt, and then the mic problem, his throat, his pronunciation, his ethnic, etc. So many things to worry. So many things to make mistakes. Btw, I know this boy has a golden voice. This beautiful tenor is very rare even in Asia. He has a natural talent for music. Yes, I can not deny the hard efforts he's been making for practice, too. Keep rocking, time will prove everything, One Ok Rock.

[@ferdianadwiparwati3467]

I think taka not nervous, he always enjoy the stage, everywheree. And i think the problem is sound system not really good 😊

[@gabrielrlki7102]

Taka made a great job, John (Album Producer) came and give the confidence they needed, bless this guy, have a great vision and a great heart, full of music passion, he loved to produce their album and was very proud with band famous progression.

[@nessa3546]

I just can't belive that taka is 29 he looks like he's 18

[@RainOfTears13]

DatSoccerGirl 17 It's because he's Asian. We literally are walking fountains of youth. I'm turning 22 at the end of this month and people still think I'm about 15 or 16 years old.

[@TTTR-pz6ox]

Ayden_Electrica I agree!!! I am also 29 but I look like teenager and that I don't really like for my profession. But for Taka, it's an advantage! His hairstyle also makes him look very young!

[@rafisckinrafa-el9820]

WHAT. Im shook

[@baileylittlejohn1051]

He's 29? I thought he was like 16

[@FANNIX-]

Asian power. I think he even looks younger with short hair. He looked older with his really long hair. lol. But as other people said; it is good for the band that he looks so young~

[@ash.4]

You know, it says something about how amazing of a vocalist he is when he sounds good even with a shitty sound system.

[@findthatwhimsy]

Total truth! I was excited to hear Lzzy Hale with New Years Day, but this sound system even dulled Lzzy's vocals and I know she has a set off pipes. I feel bad for multiple artists at this show. But that's show biz I guess. It's not like the bigger productions of the mainstream awards shows.

[@Calmqt]

findingwhimsy a very small venue close to me has better mixing and a better system than this. this is just AP being cheap and shitty.

[@FANNIX-]

True~

[@oktastradllin]

yes i think taka still the best vocalist in my heart

[@cameronharrington6813]

@@FANNIX- Oh hi Fannix! Fancy meeting you here a year later!

[@mizzcuan]

APMAs sound system just couldn't handle your goldy vocal, Taka😂

[@JC_Martin]

Taka is the best vocalist in the world, I wish they'd had a better sound system :(

[@marcelomusicvlogs9146]

10969Young apma's ALWAYS suck at sound quality. I don't know how. But they always have shitty sound engineers

[@JC_Martin]

Marcelo Vargas I had never seen the APMAS before, but man I'm totally sure that Taka couldn't hear himself... and then look at the microphone cuts in American Girls... I feel very disappointed with the sound, I wanted them to show to America who they actually are

[@shelbyh5413]

10969Young It's not OOR's fault. This APMAS just sucks balls. Every American knows that. OOR is too good for this fucked up show really. I'm saying this as an American.

[@JC_Martin]

SHELBY H I think we all share your opinion here. Anyway, we will always be proud of our Japanese boys no matter what, they are just awesome😁😁

[@riennekoh3901]

No wonder Taka sounds a bit off here, like his voice was straining too much. Gosh they should improve their sound system, otherwise it's so sub-standard. And being used to the smooth edits of OOR's concert videos, I thought this video was fancam

[@muse9423]

Oh gosh...the sound system is terrible. Taka sounds much better in their tour concerts. I went to their concert and Taka's voice was amazing from beginning to the end of the concert.

[@mariafernandarodriguezboni2205]

The sound system is so terrible I feel like Taka was singing without hearing a shit around him. Anyway, I wish they did other songs, but at the same time it was cool they were joined by John Feldmann.

[@FloppyIrwin]

take couldnt hear. u could tell becuz he was touching is ear piece every 5 seconds

[@lifetobelived9102]

I like the one he sings about his dad. That one brought me to tears at the Dallas concert. I knew nothing about this group but my friend and I like some Jrock and they were coming so we thought we'd try it out. I'm a fan now.

[@lifetobelived9102]

I saw the notification from someone that the song is called Hard To Love but I can't see the comment when I came to the page. When he first said the title at the concert I thought he said his dad was hard to love but once he went into the song I got. I was never a trouble maker as a kid or a teenager like drinking/drugs pretty much a straight arrow but he had to deal with my severe bouts of anxiety and depression. Both of my parents did. I thought my dad was a very patient person and his dad is so understanding about him picking a career path which is probably out of the norm for what the average Japanese parents would choose for their child. The job market in Japan is highly competitive so the push is more about job and financial security.

[@022561100]

Life tobelived Hi! Thank you for sharing your story about your dad. Truly the song Hard to Love is so beautiful and everyone can relate to it. BTW Taka's parents are very famous singers in Japan. Taka's father was very strict disciplinarian since he wanted the best for his son. Taka's dream is to become a singer like him but his father does not want him to knowing hard life of celebrity. But Taka feeling restrained, ran away from home. The family was broken and his parents divorced. Taka begin to sing with OOR as his new family and made his dream come true. He wanted his father to be proud of him so he strived on his own without help from parents' fame and no media exposure. Taka wanted to say sorry for his family and his dad so he wrote the song... I think you need to watch "Nobody's Home" live at Yokohama Arena 2012, the one with English subtitles. Taka wrote this too and he was crying while singing this song. His parents were at the concert so he couldn't contain his emotion... I hope you like it. 😊

[@lifetobelived9102]

Misaki that makes more sense now. At the beginning I got the feeling he had a difficult relationship with his dad but then the lyrics sounded different. I guess maybe he wanted his son to have an easier life. I am sure his parents did not break up because any troubles with him. Strong relationships endure whatever gets thrown at them at least with some counseling or other help they do. It is difficult sometimes fitting in to whatever societal norms there are for the certain area, country or cultural. I am very impressed when artists from Asia come out and show their pain and emotional issues when it may not be the norm especially with older generations. I think it helps a lot of their fans to know that they are not alone in their feelings.

[@FANNIX-]

I didn't know that John Feldmann produced the "Jinsei X Boku" Album.. I thought he joined with "35xxxv".. But good to know~

[@TTTR-pz6ox]

I look up John Feldmann's web page, it is written he was the mixer of 「人生×僕=」 album... The full details of each track are also written on this page: tower.jp/item/3207116/人生×僕=＜通常盤＞ It is also written there he was the mixer...

[@FANNIX-]

Ohh, thank you very much for telling me! I didn't know that! I just read this article oneokrock.wikia.com/wiki/John_Feldmann

[@dunadan]

Fannix. - ONE OK ROCK Community He wasn't a producer on Jinsei, he just did some mixing.

[@佐々木小次郎-m6n]

Fannix. - ONE OK ROCK Community いつも見てます！！動画投稿頑張ってください！日本から応援してますよ！👍👍

[@TJ-kq2lz]

if anyone thinks that they didn't do very well live in this one then believe me, its not their fault. as you can see taka's voice is naturally fucking amazing its just the bad sound system. toru, ryota, and tomo are just as amazing its just the circumstances of the stage and other stuff. these boys come alive in every performance they have ever done and i'm so, sooooo proud of these four talented out-of-this-world performers taking over the world. can't wait to see where the future takes them.

[@katemontevirgen4998]

Sound system was shitty. Was just watching live earlier and the show was bit disorganized too.

[@jlbucay4011]

I was about to say it too. Feel likes, taka is not used to it. in the first song, he can hardly hear himself.

[@Professorbubblegum]

so proud of one ok rock, taking over the U.S!!! you're doing great boys!!! lots of love!

[@hironrtn]

" I WAS KING " YES TAKA 👑👑👑❗️やっぱし声いいね❗️いつも応援してるよ❗️

[@ElijahHolland96]

I hope that if this is the first performance people saw of OOR that they go out and watch their other performances. The sound system was shitty. OOR are one of the best live performing bands.

[@CrazyFangirl-cf8yh]

Yes, they're so good live! Hope they're nominated for Best Live Band and Taka for Best Vocalist, Toru for Best Guitarist, Ryota for Best Bassist and Tomoya for Best Drummer on the next APMAs

[@ElijahHolland96]

I think I would die if they were nominated for all of those! But they 100% deserve it.

[@xidney13]

Only in Live performances you would know how great is the voice of the band's lead singer. Taka is totally amazing in every Live performances than any other band.

[@theoriginalfurbyqueen]

The whole show kept having technical difficulties but im so proud of OOR, theyre starting to be recognized here and im so excited for the future!

[@kesumapuspita4386]

is there a problem with the sound system? Taka's voice sounds bad not like usual. We know he always doing great in live performance

[@FloppyIrwin]

Alfi Puspita he is nervous but the sound system is weak

[@FloppyIrwin]

and i wouldnt say he sounds bad. just not like himself

[@yamapilove1220]

+Floppy Irwin agree with you, the sound system is suck, and I never seen Taka so nervous on the stage before 😢

[@kesumapuspita4386]

+Floppy Irwin yeah, he seems nervous

even if the sound really sucks, but they still can handle it and do the best., good job one ok rock!!!

[@gintokishiroyashasakata1049]

when I was king we have everything!!!!

[@anpanman9081]

I went to their concert in NY twice this week and I was blown away how great they are live. I assure you this is some bad sound system because they surely sounded 100x better than this on their show.

[@DonySetiawan]

we can be legends after all

[@kimifydesigns]

Good thing Taka's voice is the best.

[@Anton_OORer]

Amazing performance.

[@bungalili6295]

They did their best with poor sound system etc. But it won't stop them to give 100% awesomeness on stage. One Ok Rock, you guys are rock!

[@kakatora9474]

Taka voice :* no matter how the sound system was keep it up

[@luzcruz4808]

taka is truly amazing and the best💕

[@suzuki1611]

Oh, that was the cutest thing at the end!

[@川野雅子-q1l]

Mr. John Feldmann, Thank you for always supporting Taka and ONE OK ROCK !!! 彼等には、いつも誰かが手を差し伸べ てくれる... Someone will always reach out to them...Because they are wonderful as much!

[@xxxv4033]

Thank you！ so cool! 俺も負けじと英語使ってみた😂

[@morganpaviol5263]

poor taka seemed so nervous and of course the system was fucked up the poor thing couldn't really hear himself. I love this band so much one of the first Japanese rock bands I got into. and I'll tell ya that they rock and I love and enjoy everyone of their songs. I want them to be really big here in america so bad. and yes they will end up with negative asshole Americans but also positive good Americans. I just don't want to see my babies frustrated and so nervous either. I love them so so much. ❤ I will support them forever🇯🇵🎌❤😍

[@violarainbow7187]

I was really impressed by your wonderful performance. I love the way you perform merrily with a smile.

I am so proud of OOR

最後 抱っこされて かわいっ

[@neko-nisubs6582]

no matter what people say .. we as fans will always be proud of your achievements.Although Taka's sound a little awkward but it was ok, I understand maybe taka a little bit nervous I dont know exactly what's going on with him .. i'm really not disappointment with that 'cause everyone knows how good Taka as a singer.. i'm proud of you guys !! 😊 oh i think the sound system is very terrible 😖

[@Notpreppyanymoreslayy12]

I am sooo proud of them that they perform well despite the bad sound system but at the same time I am just so depressed that they did not win as the best breakthrough artist! I literally cried ;(

[@shelbyh5413]

OOR not winning. You gotta be kidding me. I'm so done with the APMAS. Big fucking joke.

[@Notpreppyanymoreslayy12]

True, I was so excited to watch this show but everything is...uhm...bad...sound system sucks, the audience is sooo unresponsive... and how did they not win * cries * looking at the number of views in the apmas performances, theirs has the most number of views as of the moment, it only means that they have huge fanbase...can't get over it, really.

[@jeanm8673]

This is just about vote. More vote then you can win. OOR may have more fans but some of them didn't vote them because they didn't know about this award or they couldn't vote or maybe they're just lazy to vote. And don't forget about the other voters. Some of them participated on this vote just to vote their fav bands at other categories. But this award requires voters to vote all categories so they just choose randomly in categories they do not focus on.

[@Notpreppyanymoreslayy12]

Don't treat rock/metal bands like boy bands yeah maybe that's the case

[@abcdefghijklmn1649]

さすがに今回スケジュールが厳しすぎる気が... Taka若干声枯れてる？ 無理はしないで けど頑張って楽しんで最高のshowにしてください！

[@moritheunicorn6951]

Poor Taka was so nervous

[@Davidnmk]

it was the sound system,these guys have been a band for 12 years and have sold out arenas in japan so i don't think he would be very nervous about this show, but the sound system is another story

[@shelbyh5413]

KingofDoubt I am so mad at APMAS actually. Could be better if OOR will perform at an awards show in Japan, probably the sound system will be a lot better. Honestly, AP should stop doing this awards show for fuck's sake can't even make the sound system work properly.

[@FloppyIrwin]

they get nervous. the sound system was crap also tho and u can tell he was nervous. any1 could. he couldn't even hear himself

[@stevie17058]

*picks up taka at the end* 😂❤️

[@danmadrigal9046]

LOVE THEM SO MUCH💛💛💛

This was great

[@isastardust4500]

omg lovely

[@shelbyh5413]

NO worries guys. AP has been known to host this shitty awards show every year. I actually feel bad for OOR for performing at this shitty show with shitty sound system and shitty crowd. But thank you for coming! I love you guys! I know how fucking great you are!

[@itoren9698]

I wanna see the collab of LINKIN PARK & ONE OK ROCK

[@nissyrozette6924]

Taka is so cuteeee at the end lol

[@022561100]

This song is really hard to sing with its high notes. But Taka was able to pull it off.

[@loss-function]

なんかちょっと歌いにくそうにしてるように感じる 音響合ってないんかなあ

[@joanna8310]

woaaah i wish i was already member of ONE OK ROCK so i could bewith them everywhere and live with them (i miss them so much) By the way great video i couldn't stop singing along with ONE OK ROCK💓❤😊😊

[@meyasomar2228]

Even though how shitty the APMAs sound system and other crap tech. difficulties special taka ear pieces. He couldn’t hear his self, but with Taka amazing Golden voice the music performance still sound good and the other OOR members did their best too. Although it’s their first time to perform in an awards event on America, as taka mention on the interview and also it is broadcast on TV, the band OOR still nailed this performance, I watched this video many times this past 3 days. Its seem taka is not that so nervous, maybe when he notice his earpieces got malfunction, he reacted in way his nervous, because as a mention it’s their first performance, he do not want to make mistake especially his ear pieces is malfunctioning. But with his years of experience and we all know how cool and super amazing this band in performing live performance. Taka and the band OOR able to manage this kind of dilemma. And I hope the audience have been more livelier, I Feel sad they don’t know what they missing or they missed to witness this moment on how awesome this band on live performance. Anyways I’m so proud of you guys, you did great job, for me you are the true winners, I love you guys and I will always support you till end of time.

[@sashienlkr8979]

Don't worry guys its not Taka's fault. Its the shitty sound system. And the i think its cuz of the producer they perform these songs.
