He's mentioned Linkin Park in an interview. There's two songs on Luxury Disease that has a very huge Queen vibe. Neon and When They Turn The Lights On.
Dreamer is one of my fav songs from OOR. I think they were inspired by bands like Linkin Park, Thirty seconds to mars, etc. I have been a fan of them for more than 10 years and at the beginning I just didn’t know any other bands like them in Japan or worldwide. The ones who sounded like them were older. Thanks for your reaction.
I am a Japanese OOR fan and they seem to have exploded in popularity with this song. I always enjoy watching your reactions as well. I wish you would listen to more Japanese rock bands! I'm using a translator so sorry if the English translation is weird.
I have no idea how I found them to be honest, because this dates back to 2012 for me. I was listening to J-rock and J-metal bands back then a lot and somehow I found these guys and this song , as I say above in another response, powered me through the last part of my bachelor thesis through lots of sleepless nights. I did like some other songs of theirs, but this one just can't compare for me personally.

There is another video of dreamer in black and white where taka sings into a remote control i don't wa t to spoil it for u but it is really funny more fun loving then their others videos
@@JohnReavesLivelife changing, we had so much and I was so happy! They set such a high standard for other bands, also they made us sing Neon twice😂, (due to ear monitor problems) and they added this song last minute❤
Sugoi! Just wanted to mention, I know you've reacted to 'We Are', but if you've not watched the "18 Live Version," you are missing out! Keep up the great reactions. Arigatou! 🤘🤘
Ahhhh good ol' One Ok Rock! These guys were for sure inspired by the whole US alt-rock scene of the 2000's (Good Charlotte, Linkin Park, Papa Roach) and more specifically the hardcore pop punk stuff like Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, etc.
This is what started it for me! Some random video i tried on youtube 12 yrs ago... i was surprised nobody knew them coz they are amazing... so i recommended them to my friends and family...
This song is a first song I heard their song when I was a student. One of my best friend told me that he found a crazy rock band. The vocal(taka) is son of Shinichi Mori who is really famous singer in Japan. (We have never heard his song, tho, because he is too old. We only knew his name) And taka was just kicked out from a idol group cause by his bad attitude. I was like, he was a idol and now rock band? um okay. Then I heard this song and I was like WTF!? What the F is his voice!!!! And I have been a big fun of them since that day.
13 years ago they'all already famous tho 😂 i just thinking about it now he is like around 30 years so that mean in this MV they'all really2 young tho 😂
I honestly don't know because they don't talk much about their inspirations. But I will say, I've seen a Green Day (Dookie & American Idiot) plaque on the wall during their Instagram lives. It's also pretty known that Linkin Park played a big part of their writing process. There's also a song called NO SCARED, which is apparently heavily inspired by Papa Roach's ...To Be Loved. I believe Taka is wearing a shirt in that music video that has some ties to Papa Roach as well. (Link to MV: th-cam.com/video/qKW4lqj2cNU/w-d-xo.html) There's also the fact that Taka likes wearing Metallica shirts, but I honestly don't know if he hardcore listens to it. That's honestly all I know. If there are any others that will like to add on to this, please do so.
Ah that’s awesome! It’s so cool how bands like that can be the inspiration for what we now know as one ok rock, like they took that sound and added their personals and lives to it and made something so unique
@@JohnReavesLive I absolutely agree with you. It's just so mesmerizing how they curate their own genre/style. I also find it quite relatable that Taka, the rockstar that he is, had a Papa Roach phase (Who knows? It might've not been a phase lol) and loved the song so much that he and the band decided to create a whole ass song inspired by Papa Roach.
John….🎉 If you want dig into 13yrs ago…. Who’s they were inspired then….few of they were approving are “ B’s “ and “ Eikichi Yazawa “ are the legend that still performs, the you’ll be digging into sum of Japanese Rock in deep core 😊 check it out 👍😀🎉
One Ok Rock ya estaba formado antes de que Taka fuese el vocalista. Por lo que quienes la formaron (Toru, Ryota, Tomo y un ex miembro) apuntaban a influencias como Linkin Park Greenday Blink, Taka simplemente tomó el rol de vocalista pero es más líder que Toru según ellos mismos dijeron en un live en 2020, ya que las decisiones como banda siempre esperaban su respuesta porque, según ellos, toma muy buenas decisiones y a la banda le ha ido bien gracias a él. Taka es más de la música pop, eso fue lo que los llevó a experimentarlo más con el álbum -Ambitions (2017) - que a muchos les cayó mal ya que es un álbum completamente en inglés producida por Mike Shinoda. Para mí sigue siendo una banda bastante buena, y es una de mis favoritas desde que los conocí en 2012
I just saw on u tube that BTS war if hormones has in the last 8 yrs.....325 million views. That's just crazy!!!!! I'm saving money for the tour coming in 2026❤
My guess is Fall Out Boys , especially under the cork tree era , grewing up with Fall Out Boys and I always say One Ok Rock was Japanese version of them 🤣
Checkout "Shukumei"宿命 by Official HIGEDAN dism! Very encouraging and powerful JPOP song with amazing arrangement！ "Crybaby" which you did a reaction about half year ago is their song as well!
Beyblade has had very good songs in Japanese but i like the international one most ... they are other ones... It's not even close, it's the best...the animation in which this song was presented is better...than the song. things as they are
Hey, watch this of Taka crying while his parents was in the stadium 11 years ago. You won't regret! Emotional roller coaster. th-cam.com/video/_vSTZJTbkig/w-d-xo.html The song is written for Taka’s parents whom both believe that moving forward as a vocalist or a band member is difficult that they discourage him, despite the fact that his parents are famous singers themselves. This made taka decide to run away from home, live with his grandma while working part time jobs to get the money they need in starting up a band. How I interpret “nobody’s home” means the lack of support he got from home. But the song as a whole is asking for forgiveness towards his parents for what his done and telling them where he ended up.
From all of their song The Beginning will always have a special place in my heart. It's their first song that i heard and that is also why i will always be thankful for that Live Action Rurouni Kenshin movie for that. 「完全感覚Dreamer」and The Beginning aside, NO SCARED is one of their best song, also Stuck in The Middle, ONION, Nobody's Home and We Are is also banging. On more emotional part, Pierce (Live from Yokohama Arena) is really recommended, there's a live version of Wherever You Are that's really good too (from jinsei x kimi tour i think), Heartache and Hard to Love is one of their best too. Also the acoustic version of Wasted Nights and Stand Out Fit In is also really good. I kinda lost touch with their newer music, maybe i'll listen to some of them.
From what I've read somewhere, Linkin Park is their main inspiration for making their music.
They were going to open for Linkin Park the year that Chester died. That would have been an epic concert!
My japanese favorite band OMG
taka be 35 now but looks 18 swear he doesna age lol the bass player ryota kohama be married to april lavigne's younger sister michelle
It's funny to think some years ago Ryota looked like the oldest of them four, but he's actually the youngest! And the same with Tomo, he's the oldest.
YES!!!! This is my favorite song of theirs and it powered me through my bachelor thesis final days. Still listen to it...such a freakin' energizer.
Their covid home version was so much more fun 😂
Agreed.. that was so very very fun
He's mentioned Linkin Park in an interview. There's two songs on Luxury Disease that has a very huge Queen vibe. Neon and When They Turn The Lights On.
I’m going to watch their concert tonight here in Araneta Coliseum Philippines. So excited! 😊
They always give positive vibes to people. Awesome reaction!

Ambitions was produced by mike shinoda only for One way ticket, not all the songs.
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥 One Ok Rock perfect
Please watch their Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer live performance at recent Seoul concert..so epic
