5:00 I think it's called electric cello, some have the traditional 4 strings and 6 strings like you see here. 8:55 Taka wrote this song for a friend who was getting married. It's about a first meeting, falling in love, and a promise you made for your significant other to forever be with them, even though you're apart. The song became one of the most popular songs played in weddings in Japan. The original version doesn't sound as sombre as this version, actually. It's amazing how a different arragement could change a song's mood and affect the listeners differently.

Awesome thanks so much for the info Starkster! You're right sometimes an arrangement can transform a song - I'll have to check the original recording out now!

@@DivergentReactions Please do! Or you can also check out their awesome live video for this song from the 35xxxv tour which is the original version.

The song that made me cry is called Voice; sang by One Ok Rock's Taka with the band Pay Money to My Pain, as a tribute to the band's vocalist who died, and also Taka's friend. I didn't even know the backstory of the song and I still cried the 1st time I heard it.

his dad and mom was good amazing singer.

This is a special slowed down acoustic version of the song that they do only for the Ambitions Japan Tour. The original version is a bit quicker in tempo with a full band. OOR is known to do special arrangements for each tour. They also played a special version for "One Way Ticket" on this tour. I personally love that version better than the original. Might want to check it out too! Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHjNpHesotN8Z6s
