One Ok Rock - WE ARE LIVE (18 FES VER) | MUSICIANS REACT

[@dicodec]

What did y'all think of my choice for Alan? 😂

[@angelS2hatobr]

The people in the audience are not professional singers. There are a thousand eighteen-year-old students from all over Japan. Who were chosen to be part of this choir, to celebrate the coming of age in Japan. They rehearsed individually in their cities, then rehearsed only three times together, before recording with the band. These are students, who are preparing to enter the job market or college. Historically, it is a time of great pressure on these young people, and many feel disillusioned or tormented by the expectations of society. This song was written by the band's vocalist, to encourage young people to follow their own dreams, and not let themselves be erased by adults.

[@dicodec]

Ah i gotcha! Thanks so much for clearing that up. ✌😀

[@MsGaijinSyauqi]

@@dicodec to add another note. This project also happened right after Japan lowered down the voting age from 20 to 18. In a longer video, OOR talked about how these 18 year-old youth can contribute and be responsible to the society despite being considered too young by some adults. And just a trivia, they started the band when they were 18 as well.

[@shacozzi4888]

Japan's work culture is one of the harshest, if not THE harshest, in the world. This song means a lot to me, and I'm just a Uni student from Sweden. I can only imagine the struggles a young adult in Japan has endured.

[@thanliupanmei9550]

"We are the colors in the dark" I always tear up watching this This is one my fav live performance from a band, it's very special to me for some reasons. Thanks for the reaction.

[@naterisawesome1]

Their not an album band. They've said that their albums are basically invitations to come see them. They mainly are a live band which is why it always sounds better live

[@dicodec]

That totally makes sense

[@quen2088]

I really laughed by Alan’s reaction! This show was made in 2017 to encourage teenagers (especially 17~19) by a broadcasting station called NHK, which is the most serious and cleanest one in Japan. That’s why this show is really clean and looks full of hope haha I loved it! I watched live on TV Anyway your recommendation was awesome! Keep it up~

[@dicodec]

Awesome! That's really cool had heard something like that from my siblings who are huge fans. That's so dope!

[@MsGaijinSyauqi]

@@dicodec to be exact, it is to encourage those teenagers as Japan just passed a new law a year before to allow 18 years old to vote. Some public made harsh statements saying that those 18 years are still too young and irresponsible. This is where OOR encouraged these youths and refute the critics by saying that even adults can act irresponsibly and childish.

Your choice is always perfect!

[@おじスターリン]

I Love ONE OK ROCK !!!😘

[@dicodec]

They are so dope!

[@tomo1ps886]

Wow！！Thank you so much! I'm very glad！！

[@dicodec]

Welcome 😀 been trying to get Alan to do this song haha.

[@galaxyheavymetal5292]

finally you've found this band....i sense once you start the journey of this band, you'll have to keep doing so many songs...LOL I'm not a deep fan of oneokrock but I love taka's vocal skills like a cover of adele hello.

[@dicodec]

My sister only enough got me into them so I'm kinda familiar with their songs. Alan has only just begun his journey. I know he's gonna love Taka's voice.

[@pierretaka6085]

good choice i do not know much about One Ok Rock but i love the 1,000 eighteen-year-old boys and girls

[@dicodec]

Weird flex but okay.

[@まる豆-t7p]

finally ! thanks and more ONE OK ROCK!

[@dicodec]

Welcome 😀 For sure. I think Alan will become a fan soon haha.

[@まつこり]

The "We Are 18 Fes ver." used in this reaction video was originally a 1 hour and 15 minute TV special program that aired in Japan, but I was lucky enough to record it when it was rebroadcast on January 16, 2021. Of all the "We Are" songs, I really like the "18 Fes ver." because it has a great video of a large chorus group of 1000 17-19 year old boys and girls, the "fifth member"!

[@dicodec]

Very cool!

[@こう-s9j]

i love tihs song ありがとうございます。 僕はこの曲が大好きです。

[@dicodec]

It's such a great song!

[@jon87583]

I'm with Eric - forget about what our fave genres might be - this performance and event are great - and tear-jerking. Glad this kinda won Alan over by the end. I went to see these guys when they toured US almost 3 yrs ago - just to get a J-pop/rock fix to tide me over. I was blown away by how entertaining and professional their performance was - and they can rock when they want to!

[@dicodec]

Oh hell yeah that's awesome! My siblings went to go see that same tour as well. The videos they showed me really made me like these guys. -Eric

[@imiko-cu2nq]

ONE OK ROCK『 Take me to the top 』Live The first minute and 40 seconds is a performance. It's cool.

[@justinbowe38]

They were supposed to open for linkin park before chester killed himself. Taka did a cover at his memorial concert

[@powbobs]

Such an amazing band.

[@dicodec]

They, are!

[@nori-dh3zs]

I am always looking forward to it. I would like a more one ok rock reaction. It's a little old, but there are many songs such as deeperdeeper and hard.

[@dicodec]

Of course! Just drop us your suggestions and we will try to get to them asap. More One Ok Rock on the way! 🤘

[@dennisfrausing8082]

god i HATE when peeps have the WRONG INFO its for a festival form 18 year olds about turning 18 and being an adult and there they picked random peeps to pracis with for half a day to make that proformas

[@leiyavns]

I love One Ok Rock💕😍 Please more OOR live performance reaction

[@dicodec]

I'm down, i just need to convince Alan haha. Hopefully it doesn't get blocked.

[@brian0703]

FYI the crowd aren’t singers. They were handpicked 18 year old fans... Great song and experience!!

[@dicodec]

Ah I gotcha. Thanks for the insight

[@energianaturalhealthcoach]

Loved their concert in Tokio 2019. The stuff they did for Rurouni Kenshin is cool

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, I didn't know they did a song for that. That is wild!

[@363-bx8qm]

You finally did it!Thanks for taking my request!I want you to hear more of their music. I think you'll like the home performance video for "Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer". This should help you understand why they are friends with Maximum The Hormone😆

[@dicodec]

It was tough convincing Alan but I did it haha. You're welcome 😀 Sounds cool we will check it out. 🤘

[@kimemerson5732]

I LOVE this band and this song! It should be required listening for all young people! With Japan having one of highest suicide rates in the world, especially in teenagers, I feel songs like this are sooo needed so kids don't feel "hopeless", that there are people out there who care and will help. Lol, I cry every time I watch this, thinking back to my teen years. (I'm 64 now), and you are my favorite Dimash reactors and hope you will some day react to my favorite band, X Japan! Old ladies can still rock, lol!

[@smile-fv2bo]

その情報は間違っています。世界で一番自殺率が高い国は韓国です。日本は5位か6位アメリカと同じ。でもこれは18歳のファンの子を集めた企画で皆んな感動してました。一番不安な時期、この貴重な経験に励まされたと思います。まっすぐな若者の純粋な歌声に感動して泣きました😢ambitious Japantourライブバージョンも観客との一体感に感動して鳥肌✨是非ライブチェックしてほしいです。

[@brianbuchmeier]

I just watched this a couple hours ago on Vimeo since you mentioned it was blocked in your My First Story Video 😄. Glad they released it. Hopefully you can do more even if you don’t completely dig them. I’ll go ahead and recommend Jibun Rock again.

[@yogabarguzasetra608]

More One ok Rock pleaseeeee..........

[@dicodec]

We will do more in the future 😀

[@yogabarguzasetra608]

Thank you :D.. i recommended to watch and react when they are live in Yokohama Stadium.. 😀

[@dicodec]

[@justinbowe38]

Its 1000 hand picked fans by the band for this show. 18 fes is to celebrate Japan lowering the age of adulthood to 18

[@dicodec]

Heck yeah! Been hyped for Crystal Lakes for a while now.

Their reaction to the little boy crying in the crowd is hilarious. 🤣

Hey, can you guys do a reaction on One Ok Rock's Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer? (完全感覚dreamer) It's my favorite One Ok Rock song.

[@dicodec]

We'll add it to the list. It's about time we got back to OneOkRock

[@mulezen9167]

@@dicodec That'll be so great! Thank you! And if you guys really decide to do a reaction on that song, I recommend the live version on KZbin rather than the studio version. Their live performance is as impeccable as MTH's.

[@mulezen9167]

@@dicodec Actually either Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer or The Beginning, up to you guys😁! The two songs are my favorite from them.

[@alexjanoras6320]

had the same reaction with alan when i first heard the entire album, where this song was in. not sure with what to feel since i’m used to seeing them go hard. but nonetheless, it was still a great song and taka did a great job conveying the message. if you guys are up for another one ok rock reaction, i would be happy to see you reacting to no scared and one by one. those songs are banger. and 100x heavier than we are.

[@dicodec]

Ah I see, I think that would be dope! I think we can convert Alan with some rocking songs.

[@alexjanoras6320]

@@dicodec YES!! LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT!!

great song choice but the pauses really took so much away... is he afraid of feeling the feels or what?

That's exactly what's going on

[@MetalGuitarTimo]

@@dicodec i feel for him. Everytime i watch this Performance i get emotional. Usually i listen to bands like Shadow of intent or within the ruins but one OK rock and babymetal really cut the onions for me. Btw i really appreciate your music and songwriting. Greetings from Germany :)
