Director Reacts - ONE OK ROCK - 'We Are' [AMBITIONS JAPAN DOME TOUR]

[@crosswithyou]

ONE OK ROCK never disappoints. I just got back from Japan last week after seeing them in concert 4 times over there. So worth the flight over. Not just their music, but the more you learn about the guys as individuals, the more you will love them. Like these guys never take the "easy" way. People always say their music would be perfect for anime but they purposefully don't do music for anime because they don't want to become known as "that artist that did the song for that one series." The guys want to be recognized for their talent and they want to help pave the way for future generations to surpass them. Who does that?? What kind of group actually looks forward to being surpassed by their juniors? ONE OK ROCK is that kind of group. They are such a talented bunch of guys.

Always love your comments and you are always spot on in describing them.

I saw them in LA in October and they were amazing. The stage was smaller and I thought Taka's energy was bigger than the room. The whole band killed it. I still have their recent record, Luxurious Disease on repeat play when I'm driving.

こんにちは😊 One ok rockがヨーロッパやアジアツアーでは行くたびに人気が上がりますがアメリカでは中々売れていませんね　コンサートホールも小さいし… 何でなんでしょう？　アメリカで当たらない理由が知りたいです🙇‍♂️

[@cerinemokhtari4823]

The first JRock band I fell in love with ! Taka

[@SuperDemans]

I just got back from Japan with a study abroad trip and got to see them live and it was everything I hoped it to be. I've been listening to them since 2013/2014 and have grown more and more in love with their music ever since. My favorite song by them is The Beginning and We Are, both of which they played. They opened with We Are and it was absolutely incredible. Just have to find a way to see them again at some point.

[@jolenenakamatsu4397]

As was said, Taka was sick during this concert so it was held an hour later. He sang 22 songs and the only break was the instrumentals which was maybe 3 to 5 minutes. It is amazing how he could perform while not feeling 100%. And his run up from the runway was obviously slower than usual and he was exhausted at the end. He is the consummate performer.

[@1gotta2bengal3]

"Doing what they were meant to do on this planet." Exactly! Love your commentary.

[@brian0703]

There’s another version of this song which you need to check out, called We Are 18 Fes. They invite a thousand 18 year old fans to perform with them. It’s epic!

[@puppyeo2648]

truuueee.. still cry my eyes out every time I watch that performance

[@marcollieberninon3573]

Director! The version he's talking about of we are will break you...do that please!

Taka's voice was super amazing.. his air control was sooooo good... love him so much.. their sound system is also the best amongst the best.. the band is also superb.. they are just good to be together.. great performance all the time..

Watching One Ok Rock "Renegades", This song is for us young generation

[@amy0531]

TAKA's voice is amazing🔥 More ONE OK ROCK plz.

[@blackdarknessdaemon]

I'll NEVER forget the moment I heard this song live at Yafuoku Dome back in 2018, I cried SO HARD like it was my toughest time in my life and ONE OK ROCK have saved me for COUNTLESS TIMES over the past 13 years that I've been following and became a fan of them. I got to say being a fan of ONE OK ROCK is one of the most LUCKY thing for me that I met SO MANY AMAZING FRIENDS including Japanese and American fans who also love them and we went through many many hard times together. I'm always grateful that ONE OK ROCK's music always stayed besides me when I'm depressed and let me met SO MANY AMAZING FRIENDS who supports me. To me the ONE OK ROCK community is a heartwarming family which always welcomes me with open arms.

[@shicelle635]

I saw them in April in Japan. It felt like a dream. I was far from the stage but I still felt Taka's energy and the crowd is the best. His voice is freaking amazing. 🤧 I will forever be a fan.

[@chandellmonroe5254]

I've been a fan of One Ok Rock almost since their beginning. They put on the best live performances ever. You should check out Taka singing "Hello". Fun fact, Ryota is married to Avril Lavigne's sister. One Ok Rock, Dimash, Stray Kids and Jackson Wang....can't go wrong with any of these performers.

[@marisaheymann3759]

Lol😂 I saw them live last year. Here in the US. Much smaller venue. I tell you personally the best concert I have ever gone to. I'm 52 metal girl. I've been to a lot of concerts, and all of them got outshine by these 4 amazing musicians. Every single one is crucial to who they are in the music industry. Love them. "Mighty long fall " or "waisted nights " please Thank for reacting to them ❤❤❤

[@marisaheymann3759]

BTW, it's a perfect shirt to watch this MV. ❤

[@katokiti2941]

こんにちは〜😊 アメリカでOne ok rockがあまり売れてないのはなんでなのでしょうか？　ヨーロッパやアジアでは行くたびにコンサートホールがでかくなりますがアメリカでは小さいホール… なんで？

[@purrindopril9379]

I feel you about setting the bar! But heres the thing, their discography is super diverse and it continues to surprise me in different ways. Their songs explore different emotions and human experiences, but always in a genuine and raw way. Thats what keeps me coming back.

[@hopegurl9413]

They are so good live! When you first reacted to them, I had not heard of them. I realized the next day that they were one of opening acts for the Muse show I was going to a few weeks later!! Taka has an amazing voice, and they sounded so amazing live. He was so animated and interacted with the crowd a lot. It was a short set (only 35 minutes), but they did not disappoint! So good!!

[@Alex_Isshin]

I highly recommend to check some heavier songs: "Mighty Long Fall", "Ending Story", "Clock Strikes". Of course all live but studio versions sounds exactly the same... and if you want to react to more ballads: "Wherever you are", "Be the Light"", "One Way Ticket". There are a couple live show with only acoustic guitar songs like: "Heartache", "Good Goodbye". Awesome reaction keep enjoying the ride.

[@Lullaby0511]

Great reaction 👍 thank you for your reaction to Amazing One Ok Rock. No word left to describe Taka. He's such a precious Gem 🔥 would love to see you react to One Ok Rock " clock strike 35xxxv Japan Tour 2015, cry out, mighty long fall, wasted night live, i was king, stand out if in and fight the night orchestra version. That would be Lit 🔥 looking forward to your awesome reaction. Only the best 🙌

[@hanayuhyki]

Watch their orchestra version performances - I Was King, Fight The Night, Ending Story etc. Anddd Deeper Deeper live at Yokohama Stadium version! The bar just keeps on getting higher 🤌

[@abelon0214]

Taka is definitely a legend ❤ They always gives me the goosebumps 😢

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE One OK Rock. So glad you have discovered them, too. BTW, in this particular performance of We Are, Taka was actually sick. The concert had been delayed by almost an hour before he was able to go onstage. So he gave THIS MUCH energy while he wasn't even in full health. Can you imagine?

[@tuttasb]

From what I've seen of ONE OK ROCK they're not gonna dissapoint, I really hope I can see them live someday! About Dimash, I've followed him for almost 3 years now and he have improved massively during that time. He keeps surprising us with new stuff and showing us his development as an artist, he will continue to grow and impress us. Like 3 days ago when he during his solo concert in Yerevan, Armenia performed an Armenian folk song (Sareri Hovin Mernem) he learned only hours before the show to show his respect and gratitude towards the local audience. It was a hauting and etheral performance, ending with him mimicing the sound of Duduk (Armenian national instrument), jaws dropped, tears was shed and he got a standing ovation. True musicians like ONE OK ROCK and Dimash will always do their best to improve, give their best performances to the audience, give back to the fans. Artists like that rarely dissapoints.

[@shannonunruh-hallock2522]

This song gets me every time, especially since I learned about why Taka wrote it.

[@p3nth3sil3a7]

I've had the pleasure of seeing OOR 4 times now in smaller venues. I have every concert dvd of theirs. If you ever get a chance to see them live, go! Trust me.💜

[@ivetatabahneva4445]

You dont't have to be nervous. They'll never dissapoint you. Every song of them is a banger. For the next one I reccomend Mighty long fall live at Yokohama stadium ( Mighty long fall tour)

[@abelon0214]

OOR needs to be known by every corner of the world 🤘

[@lexieblack380]

I love seeing other Army’s get into One OK Rock. Both groups (as well as fandoms) to me are so similar when it comes to the messages of the music, it’s no wonder so many of us are apart of both 🖤🖤🖤

[@itsHui]

Favourite groups from different genres for me and both of them have crazily good concerts!

[@karalindstrom7729]

I went the other way around. They stand for the same things so it's not surprising.

[@filiboi01]

Great reaction! Saw your very first reaction to "Take what you want" and I still see the emotions you felt then. They are a great Japanese Rock band, they recently toured the US and Canada. They were in Philly, NY, and Montreal in March of this year. Fun fact.. Ryota the guitarist is Avril Lavign's brother in-law. He is married to Avril's younger sister Michelle. 😀 If you haven't already..... listen and watch the music video to "Renegade", as well as the piano version of this song.

[@WeasleN]

If you really wanna see passion on all the band members faces then you NEED to watch "Decision" from their 35xxxv tour, it really hits hard. If you wanna go with their harder songs, i would suggest "Deeper Deeper" from their Yokohama Stadium performance! Love the OOR Reactions!

[@ximenaStay888]

I have just found them and in each video I end up crying... What is it about Taka's voice that transmits so much to us and makes us so emotional? The rest of the group is also incredible.

[@jakesmith5278]

When I think of "Rock Music", this is the kind of band that comes to my mind. We used to have many of bands like this here in the States. Not any more. They are all grandpas now.

[@marisaheymann3759]

Just a suggestion. If you like this song. React to 18 fest version of it. Epic. It was written for the young people when the voting age went down to 18 years. Really check that one it will blow your ming. Watch it with English subtitles so you can read what he tells the youngsters. So inspirational. ❤️ ❤❤

[@KootchLB]

Thank you for this reaction Roscoe! Amazing performance and that audience is magic.

[@melaruby17]

For the recorded Ambitions dome tour Taka wasn't even in the best shape, but his breaking voice only fuels more emotion!! The whole band give their 200% everytime! Big or small venue can't wait to see them again!!

[@shizukasmith8314]

OOR live never disappoint the listener/audience! NHK 18 FES We Are is good as this one in different level. Less audience. People who is 18 years old mailed videos on their uniqueness to be selected by OOR for The special event. The actual event was held by many bands and singers to celebrate voting age change from 20 to 18 in the Japan.

[@marlenmendezgarcia8657]

In my opinion, One Ok Rock never misses!

[@nelepietrzyk3197]

finally someone who understands my obsession with this band🥰

[@Fatalistic_Viking]

There's no need to be scared about ONE OK ROCK disappointing you. I've been a fan for nearly a decade and every live show I've seen has been amazing, although some people don't like their very old live shows when Taka is still trying to get rid of his accent as he sings slower songs. Their live shows that they played with an orchestra are incredible. On top of that they will play some acoustic songs in the middle of a live show as well as live studio sessions. You could react to one song several different ways if you want. "I was King", "Fight for the night", and "stand out fit in" are some songs to react to with an orchestra. "Heartache" and "Wherever you are" are good acoustic songs . Then some studio session songs are "Vandalize" and "Your Tears are Mine". They have really heavy songs like "Deeper Deeper" live at Yokohama stadium and "mighty long fall" at the same venue.

[@eclipseezera6822]

This one and Save Yourself are my FAVORITES from them, they’re so fire

[@powbobs]

I saw them in September at the HOB at Disney Springs. They tour in the U.S. in smaller venues and tickets are cheap due to xenophobia. I paid $55.00. 1500 people capacity so no matter where you are you have at least a decent view. Make sure you do whatever you need to to go see them next time they come. You will be amazed.

Please try the "chaos myth" from ONE OK ROCK... not the album version, but the live version... the one that has orangey color at the beginning (live is outdoor afternoon). Btw, c.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h is an acronym from taka's close circle friends. One of them is a famous movie actor who did suicide. This song is dedicated to him, that's what I read. I look forward you watch it
