Metal Vocalist - ONE OK ROCK - Take What You Want ( REACTION )

[@leiyavns]

Taka the vocalist is such a magic. The way he control the audience is amazing. React to more of them live dude

[@JohnReavesLive]

Heck yes!!! I for sure will be! I loved what I heard here!

[@mevius10969]

I think he is really a magician. I'm under his spell too ❤️

[@bionsjazznblues]

Yes, Taka is an amazing vocalist. He can sing to an audience of thousands and make it seem as if they're all in the recording studio with him.

[@DulcisAbsentia]

The fact that the silent part came before the lines “silence strikes like a hurricane” adds to the goosebumps

[@rhomarsolmiano9134]

Taka’s voice is anti depressant! He’s the second man who save me in my depressions in life!

They are so good. As an old man with Aspergers, I have never been able to comprehend what people are saying. It is always "huh" "What did you say" over and over. Now with The Rose and ONE OK ROCK, I absolutly understand everything being sung. Their diction is so fantastic. I wish Americans could speak so plainly and distinctly. I am born and raised American. Currently downloading all ONE OK ROCK from iTunes. Thanks

Takas ability to control the crowd is something I've never seen before... It's super magical being in the silent crowd as he pours his heart out on stage so amazing I can't wait to see them live again

[@TheFlagnard2]

The silence in the beginning was a moment of silence out of respect for Chester Bennington who Taka looks up to as a vocalist and respects greatly.

[@joneschyna]

One ok rock are people who truly love music! You can just feel the raw emotion and even makes your own raw emotions come to the surface. They are truly amazing!💜

[@reps882]

このライブのパフォーマンスはほんとにやばかった

[@MADEbySOUL]

YEEEESSSS ONEOKROCK!!!!! “We Are” and “The Beginning” are a must! This band always bring forth emotions and energy! Always tear or bawl my eyes out! It is a religious/spiritual experience each time! Cannot wait for you to go through the lyric videos, music videos, and live stages! Definitely an act that sounds as good or BETTER than the damn CD!

[@jolinabenitez3853]

my favorite is cry out, and I just discovered them yet I've fallen so deep 😭😍

[@StrangerSenseiE]

Yess! "the beginning" is a total must, it was one of the songs that really ended up getting their career going overseas, it really shows how far they have come

[@ChuumYao]

Yay~! Awesome reaction to One Ok Rock. I actually just saw them live last weekend in Atlanta, as a long time fan (10+ yrs) seeing them for the first time was surreal and everything I had wanted it to be. One Ok Rock isn’t just the singer, they’re a band of 4 members, Taka (frontman/vocalist), Ryouta (bassist), Toru (guitarist), and Tomoya (drummer). Fun fact: One Ok Rock has always said that their albums are just merely invitations to their live concerts. Meaning that if you want to experience all who they really are, you gotta see em live. Which is why all of us OOR fans suggest to check out the live versions of their songs. Their MV’s are cool but live concerts are where they really shine. If you want another really emotional one, check out their song We Are live from the same concert as this one 👍

[@luisafernandavelasquez8175]

Toru (Frontman/guitarist) Taka (Vocalist/composer/lyricist)

The fact taka the vocalist is sick is simply amazing for them to deliver this great live concert

[@louloubumper8179]

YES!!!! Takahiro!!!! One of my favorite voices for his emotion alone! I love how the audience becomes an instrument. So happy you finally listened to them!! 💜

[@maryannbaxter73]

I am soooooo happy you are checking OOR. They are an amazing band. They have been around for so long. Tons of albums. Taka is anextraordinary singer and Ryota, Toru and Tomoya are impressive musicians. An amazing song. Their concerts are massive, full of energy. and the crowd is awesome. A sad, sad song. When you have to leave a relationship and you have to tear up a house and split things, and he is saying, I don´t want anything. Amazing performance. Their old stuff is heavier. They just released an album and it is soooo good. You can check " We are" , "When I was King", "Chaosmyth", "Clock stikes", " Mighty Long Fall", " Wherever you are", "Wasted nights", "Nothing helps" Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer"............. . Always go for the lives. They have many songs with Orchestra. It sounds amazing.

Did you know that TAKA's parents are very, very famous singers? His younger brother also has a very nice voice.I think there is a reason why his voice is so special.He wants to hear more of his songs! your video is very very nice!

[@roxanaheath8098]

Love One Ok Rock. Thank you.

[@Nakaberil]

Fyi the cracks on his voice in this concert is because he was sick on this live.. the concert was 45 minutes late due to his condition

[@stopthatgirl7]

Taka did an absolutely amazing cover of Adele’s “Hello.” He pours so much emotion into his voice.

[@jabeoh9490]

oh man, theres so many to choose from!! We Are 18 fes (this one is special cos this festival was held specially for young Japanese teens who are 18, or turning 18. When kids in Japan reach age 18, they consider they are adult and host ceremony to celebrate such stepping into the adulthood event. One Ok Rock performed this song encouraging the kids to stay strong against the force that are pushing them down) Fight the Night Orchestra Japan Tour Clock Strikes “Mighty Long Fall” Yokohama Stadium Wasted Nights “Eye of the Storm” Japan Tour also, dont bother with the audios and mvs, One Ok Rocks live performances are better than studio version 😁

[@mo_the_stooge_8216]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS! I was hoping you would get to them! I am obsessed! Taka's voice is just amazing. They just had a new album come out this month called "Luxury Disease." Every song is just so good. I would suggest you do "Save Yourself," "We Are," "Renegades," "Stand Out Fit In," and pretty much everything off the new album. I can't wait to see more!

[@authorRisenfromash]

Just saw them live for the third time and I swear they only get better each time. They are all so talented. Renegades is such an amazing song.

[@LordoftheEldinRing]

Perfect Reaction! Genuinely engaged, not pausing and talking during the important parts, feeling the song and recognizing the talent. 10/10

[@Chalanna96]

YESSSS! I'm so glad you're checking out One Ok Rock! My favorite songs by them are Wasted Nights (sooooo good live), The Last Time, and Bombs Away. Taka's voice is out of this world and they sound even better live than they do on their albums. 🙌 (Also, pretty sure they're on tour in the US right now!)

I wanted to go but sold out in Vancouver. Also there is a documentary on Netflix about them...so so many good songs! Let's do it...this song..just wow.

[@karbuilds]

I saw them live for the first time back in 2016 when they were an opening act for 5 Seconds Of Summer. Fell in love with them and Taka's amazing vocals. It changed the way I discovered other bands, cause usually I hear them on the radio or somehow before I see them live. But it was such a different experience seeing their live performance first. Fast forward to 6 years later and I'm seeing them on their most recent tour in the US and even took my little sister, who fell in love with them through me. One of the best bands to date and I'll never stop supporting them.

[@Aprizzle19]

Hey thanks for checking them out. I knew you would love them. Like people say his lives are epic. Taka also did a song with Lincoln Park in a remembrance/celebration for Chester that was hard but good to watch. Start Again is good and One Way Ticket and We Are and renegade which was written with Ed Sheeran. I get into them when they were first starting due to my daughter watching Japanese anime cause they did some intro to some that she was watching and they pulled me in with his storytelling in his voice. He to me reminds me of Jimin from BTS with his facial and dance expressions. Then I started live and that changed it. I love my BTS boys but I’m rock at heart. I like from Black Veil Brides to EMO with AFI and punk rock which they also do like 5 Seconds of Summer back before they’re sound aggressed. I’m excited for this journey also. 🤘🤘🤘😊

[@MeztliZen]

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it but Taka was actually sick at this concert. And he still killed it!

[@queenieortega9363]

It's a little late comment 😅Correct me if I'm wrong but I've read somewhere that this song is written by Taka, and it is quite emotional and special to him because it's the story of his parents(?) when they're going through the divorce and it broke Taka so much when his family's bond falls apart right before his eyes. So basically the emotions he inputs in this song is from his own experience but it wasn't his own love story. It's my favorite song of them and I love the lyrics, you're right you can feel the pain and it feels as though we broke up and he's talking and saying all his frustrations to me through a song. That's how good he delivers the essense of this song❤❤..
