In case anyone's confused, I actually did this one on Patreon before I posted the WE ARE live reaction. So this is actually the 1st reaction, but it was posted 2nd.
6:18 I really appreciate your empathy for the struggle of Asian Americans! It warms my heart to know that there are allies when there is so much discrimination and violence against Asian Americans going on! You’ve described my experience as an Asian American perfectly, getting bullied for being the only Asian kid growing up! 😭 I was bullied all the way until college, and I’m still struggling to find my group today!
I'm half Asian living in Germany and trying to fit in was so hard. I learned to embrace my differences a few years ago when I was around 17 years old and now I'm super proud of my culture. I don't try to fit in anymore because it's impossible anyways
I’m Asian American and I can definitely relate for being shunned for being Asian(Japanese) in America! They say America is the land of diversity, and it definitely can be true to a certain extent, but I’ve managed to run into the bad apples who’ll bully and harass you for being of a different culture! I was very lonely growing up for being the only Asian American in my elementary and middle school, and never really felt like I belonged! It’s really heartwarming to hear that you went through a similar process of rejecting your cultural roots, but embracing it later in your life, realizing that Asian culture is amazing, whether you’re Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, etc!
My parents settled in UK in the 60s. All my siblings and I were born and raised in the UK. We lived in a town where we were the only ethnic minority. I remember watching this video when it came out, and finding it so relatable. For me as the youngest, the bullying was never more than name calling and even though I had friends, the experience of feeling alone was very relatable. I’m talking about being 6 to 8 years old and when friends weren’t at school, being alone in the playground pondering existential questions about self identity. I found this video so powerful, so well done in telling the story and experience of so many people. Watching you being moved by it, and hearing you say that you find it relatable actually brought tears to my eyes. Thank you
The dance seems to represent our choices made in life. Each move changes our outcomes.. It’s a beautiful symbolism of the decisions we make in life. He tries to fit in with the dance steps, is lifted, then pushed down by his peers.. Ultimately the boy gets a second chance to do it over differently.
While I like this take, I saw another one that was more literal. The dance is apparently very common in Japan (at least I assume this is a Japanese dance, I forgot), and the dancer invites him to dance. So he does, but after dancing for a bit, he sees his friends dancing and like he has been doing, he tries to fit in, and starts to follow their movements instead of his own. He messes up, loses his footing and falls down. He’s forgotten his own culture. Once he falls down though, his friends were there to help pick him back up and help him be himself again
Haha you definitely got a little emotional at the end there. And yeah, I got confused but then remembered you said on your "We are" reaction that you would post your first reaction to the band, so thanks for doing that! I enjoyed this reaction. There's so much symbolism in this video, and the dance segment shows a lot. The bian lian dance shows rapid face changing and then the kid's hair and eyes literally change colors. When he tries to dance with the other kids, he can't quite keep up and doesn't quite fit in. I think this is one of the band's best MVs, even though the band doesn't actually show up in it. The video just complements the lyrics so well. Hope you'll do more reactions to the band soon! My favorite song is "The Beginning." Check out their performance at Eye of the Storm Japan Tour.
This is another band you gotta hear live. The singer is incredible. I mean the whole band is great but they are amazing live. This MV is very powerful and emotional. Hits you in the feels for real. One OK Rock in general is just fantastic.
Your reaction made me cry🥲I could completely understand what you felt! Thank you for your beautiful reaction 🥰send my biggest applause to you from Japan;)
I am Greek and Hispanic. Growing up, I turned to drugs and alcohol to help deal with the stress that was on me. My mother was sick, in and out of the hospital. I was having to work from the age of 14 to help with bills because we weren't in a good spot after moving from Greece to Texas(Grandma was going through cancer and we ended up staying in the US for longer than intended. For calrification, we moved to the US when I was 8 or 9, but around 12 is when my mom had gotten really sick and didn't get better). I was tired of being made fun of for speaking with an accent and bringing in food from home. Dishes no one had really seen before. I didn't have enough to buy the school lunch and it was made clear to me that my money I made was used for emergencies ONLY. My sister left when I was 14 and her being older meant i had to stop being a kid and grow up super quickly. So I turned to these things to fit in as well. I got through everything fine, but I never made peace with my mother and told her I accepted my culture and hertiage before she passed in 2015. I never once told her that I was happy to be Greek and Hispanic. I never once told my dad either and he doesn't speak to me anymore. I'm not even sure if he's alive. I made peace with my grandmother in Greece(mom's side of the family, Hispanic, fell apart when my mom passed. She was the glue that kept everyone together.). We talk every morning now and she's constantly checking up on me. I love her and my culture so much, but my biggest regret was not seeing how incredibly happy and carefree I am now that I can accept that. Nevertheless, I know she's still around me and I know she knows I accept who I am now. I know where I come from and I'm not ashamed of that. Not anymore.
Like they always say “Go live!”. With One Ok Rick though “Go Freaking Live!!!” Like seriously do it! 😅 Their live stuff are honestly in a league of its own, even among the several awesome Japanese bands I’ve seen. It’s just so rare these days to see a Rock band absolutely killing it on 50k+ stadiums and OOR do those pretty regularly. Their studio jam sessions are great as well.
You gotta go way back in their library to get to mostly Japanese songs. I love this band for road trips. Great to keep you going. Like crystallized energy.
I love The way You talk about what The Song makes You feel... It's so freaking good to know how a Song touch a heart in The same way that yours. I Hope You understand me, i'm not good writting on English Love You
omg thanks for doing this reaction! This song means a lot to me as an Asian-Canadian that had to put up with a lot of racism growing up in a very conservative part of the country
Same as a Japanese American who grew up in Florida and Ohio, really conservatives states! I’ve met many people who aren’t accepting of different cultures and got bullied myself up until high school! It’s definitely been difficult growing up Asian American while keeping true to my Japanese cultural values and roots when everyone acted and talked so differently from myself!
This is the experience I had even in progressive Silicon Valley California. People didn't even realize joking I was Chinese(Im not) or doing the fox eye thing was insulting. It was like it was done without malice and I didn't mind it too much but it was very emotional to see this music video.
Didn't u react to them like em...2 weeks ago???Anyhow.....love their MVs but live is where they shine.....One of my favourite live is the "Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium" Live..........(also i think u would like Man with a Mission and The Gazette...)
Dude, I'm an InSomnia (Dreamcatcher fan)! I saw your Band-Maid reactions and heard your background music..."Wait...Is that a Dreamcatcher song?!" Then I saw the poster behind you...I have that poster! Dude is a Dreamcatcher fan! AND he loves Band-Maid and now....now, he loves One OK Rock! My favorite KPop group and J-Rock bands. I loved your reaction to Stand Out, Fit In...brutally honest...I had the same reaction also being Asian American...you hit all the emotional and psych points...I seriously had childhood flashbacks as a kid growing up in a white middle-class suburban area. If you want just some pure R&R, watch ONE OK ROCK "Mighty Long Fall" Live at Yokohama Stadium or their latest "RENEGADES".
I’ve seen a couple of their live videos and seeing how big the crowd was and they were all singing along and losing their minds, it made me want to be on stage playing for a sea of fans, which I never had any interest before.
I've noticed that you've only checked out their newer stuff so I'll recommend some of their older stuff to let you see their progress. Kanzenkaku Dreamer Cry Out Deeper Deeper The Beginning Clock Strikes Mighty Long Fall C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h Re:Make Jibun Rock Answer is Near Wasted Nights Last Dance
This MV brings back a lot of bad memories for me as being teased/bullied in school as I was the ONLY minority there. As well as, for being the "adopted kid" too. Unfortunately, I couldn't get away from any of it, cuz I was being abused at home by both my parents and older brother so I had no one to help me. At school I was bullied by teachers, Bus Driver, and classmates. Even my own friends wouldn't talk to me in school since they were popular and I wasnt. In turn, they only hung out with me outside of school and even then I was still wasn't treated nicely by them and they try to get me in trouble whenever they did something bad as well. So, I was blamed for all of it and their mother's always sided with their kids and so, they didn't like me either. It also didn't help that listened to rock/metal and KPop music in Junior High and High school as this was in the late '90's thru to 2003. At that time they had found out after I had done a school talent show in which, I sang/danced to KPop Idol, BoRa's song called, Number 1 and that's how they found out that I listened to KPop music. I never did another school talent show after that, as I was boo'ed the whole entire time, so embarrassing. Now, of course everyone is into KPop music and it's the "in" thing to listen these days lol. I still face racism at my job in the hospital where I have patients that yell and tell me not to even step foot in their room cuz I'm Asian. They even tell me how much they hate Asian ppl. Sum have no reason for it or I have sum who had a 1 bad interaction with an Asian person so they now shun all Asian person after that. I don't know how many times at stores or just in public where I was refused service cuz of my race or they refuse to speak with me cuz they assume I don't speak English even before I say a single word or even after I tell them I speak English just fine and they still mention they don't have a translator available, so I need to leave their store still. Likely, it's getting a tiny bit better tho. But, I don't understand when ppl ask me what my name is and I tell them but, their like I mean ur real name as in what's my Korean name as I'm Korean and then they ask me how was it living in North Korea and how did I escape, lol. These are popular silly questions I get a lot when I meet new ppl. Anyways, I recommend the song, Fight the Night as well by One Ok Rock. I think Taka's vocals shine in this song as well. Only if u have the time.
For another anti-bullying song check out Bloodywood- Endurant. They are a metal band from India. Pay close attention to the details in the video. Just like this music video, Endurant has a very powerful video too.
The hard part about watching this is really how relatable this is. All of this is "normal" pre-2020. Like this is just part of growing up asian-american. Depending on where you live (how large the percentage of non-white in your community), there are varying levels of actual bullying. But all the micro-aggressions with weird looks and ppl judging your food and your lunches -- it's either "weird and gross" or something to ask infinite questions over in some fascination with how "exotic" it is (or to flex how "open minded" they are); judging your (often immigrant) parents and their professions and their level of english fluency. So real and so "normal".
Im new here and bumped on your channel because of One Ok Rock..I think this is not the best one to begin with but almost OneOkRock songs are banger..You must check there new song Renegades its co written with Ed Sheeran..Awesome Reaction..subbed..

I'm half Asian living in Germany and trying to fit in was so hard. I learned to embrace my differences a few years ago when I was around 17 years old and now I'm super proud of my culture. I don't try to fit in anymore because it's impossible anyways
Go you!
Proud of you.
Germany can be horrible..even to their own..I cant imagine how hard it must've been for you. I'm glad you didn't lose your way and yourself ❤
Life’s not worth living for others
I’m Asian American and I can definitely relate for being shunned for being Asian(Japanese) in America!

So, you should get back to their live. I really recommend ONE BY ONE Live in Saitama and ENDING STORY orchestra version
One of my fav songs
his dancing too, after seeing that red dancer, was so beautiful. but he changed it.

Pls react to One Ok Rock Renegades thanks for the reaction
In case everyone feels hated being who they are heres a message
please react to THE ORAL CIGARETTES
React to Stand out fit in Orkestra vers
Live is 🔥
BTW the name of the band is pronounced "one ok'rock" as in "one o'clock"
いつも楽しく視聴しています＾＾日本語と英語を上手に使う歌はCOOLだと思います。ただ、日本語の感情表現に対する言葉の数が多く、例えば「愛する」と意味する「LOVE」でも、日本語は１０種類くらいあり、しかもすべて意味が違います。英語圏の人からすると日本語は非常に難しいと思いますが、日本語を理解してもらえると英語の表現と意味が違うことが理解できると思います。強要するものではないですが、何かのきっかけで日本語を勉強して理解してもらえたら、うれしいなと思いました＾＾
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
ONE OK ROCK and 1 o'clock are the same pronunciation.
I recommend you to react to (renegades) it's more greater than this one
its like u need to wear the same mask to be accepted..
Please react maneskin..
