Do you guys think anime fans are only for their Japanese animation. We have our opening songs and favourite singers and well as dubbers. Songs are the best part of anime. Lisa, Radwimbs, love you guys.
attending One Ok Rock's concert is my wish, that crowd was insane, they know how to have fun in a concert, no phones, no recording, and one of the best thing I like about band's concert is they gave me goosebumps, great!
I was lucky enough to attend their concert here in my country, and as a kpop concert goer, it was actually a culture shock since they really don't allow the things you mentioned. But I really appreciated and enjoyed being in the moment. Def one of the best I ever attended.Waleska described it well. It was so religious 🥺
they started the EOTS tour last year and their schedule coming to our country was supposedly on May but this fcking COVID happened so everything was cancelled 😭😭😭 I am just really sad to have missed such things huhu
@@geessus I went to their Toronto Concert in 2019 and they actually allowed phones/recording. Definitely wasn't a crowd like Tokyo but still an amazing vibe. Was hard deciding which songs to record to relive later and which to enjoy in the moment!
Imagine Waleska and Efra checking out OSTs from Attack on Titan, Naruto, Your Lie in April and Violet Evergarden!!! I KNOW I WOULD ABSOLUTELY ENJOY IT.
@@lovefilledpessimist4780 @Eden Bunagan I know I’ll be singing out loud AOT’s OST in gibberish except for “sasageyo, sasageyo, Shinzou Wo Sasageyo” part.
Fujii Kaze's debut was only recent around 2019-2018 but he really has shown that he is one of a kind musical genius, and the most kind-hearted human being ever.
there's something about japanese music that makes them unique, one of it is their voices, I don't know maybe because of their language or something, but their voices are really different from other international songs, One Ok Rock is the first japanese band I've fell in love with, so happy you reacted with them, LiSA is one of the best japanese vocalist, she's insane, also I first heard King Gnu because of Banana Fish, ever since I heard their song it was weird, but I love it, their songs are amazing, hope to see more jpop reactions.
Actually you’re pretty much right I’ve heard from a lot of people that Japanese is the most beautiful language out there and it becomes extra beautiful when they sing. I 100% agree with you.
Japanese people are known for being orderly. That explains why their cities are always clean and why their lines (on subways, restaurants, etc) are always so orderly and their train systems are on time. I've been there and it's not overhyped at all. I think that's why their concerts seem so organized and orderly as well.
The Japanese were so orderly that they forced women into sexual slavery roles, the genocide that killed more than 100,000 people. They are no different from the Nazi War Crimes Bureau, but they have not apologized
Aw, Fujii Kaze just had a free online concert on YT just a few hours ago! Just him playing the piano and singing in the rain in the middle of a stadium. It was transcendent.
Some people (especially kpop fans that don't know jpop that much) usually think jpop is all about cuteness, and meaningless lyrics. BUT actually, they have A LOT of deep lyrics, and not to mention VERY UNIQUE sound, that I seriously think more people should appreciate it. Even a group that usually has a cute concept has some deep lyrics too!
Jpop paved the way for kpop. Nice to so more people reacting to Japanese artists. I was such a jpop stan before getting into kpop, but it still holds a special place in my heart. *EDIT* all the comments saying that kpop was influenced by American artist. I know, music wise. I meant that Jpop influenced kpop by introducing the concept of idol groups. The system of idol groups started in Japan with the legendary group SMAP.
@@aaliyah8570 yes what you are saying is true but Kpop also takes aspects from the idol culture in Japan. That was something kpop was greatly influenced by. Kpop groups and idols and the culture around them is undeniably influenced by the Jpop industry
Even though I am a non-k pop listener I know that j pop used to be the one most popular that days but it doesn't go global like k pop. only true legends listen to Japanese songs.
@@aaliyah8570 yeah, both jpop and kpop were inspired by black culture. But the "idol" entertaiment system was introduced by Jhonny's (I think). If u listen to 90s jpop group and the early generations kpop you will see so many similiarities. I even thought that early 2000s jpop group are more similiar to todays kpop than todays jpop when it comes to performance (choreos & gimmick). But there are so many trends that will only work in jpop like a performance unit like EXILE (their group composition is like pussycat dolls), the concept became popular for so long to the point that they made their own entertaiment empire. But then again jpop is not only consist of idols. Solo performers like Namie Amuro, Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki were really big too. They have so many music communities that are really big too, not to mention folk and alternative bands are always big in Japan despite of the era.
Gosh, Taka’s parents are both singers you know so that’s why he has such a good voice. Oh wait, you really have to listen to My First Story too 💋 the vocal of this band is Taka’s brother
@@krisangei6163 Oh i think you have some mistakes cuz Taka’s parents are Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori (you can search for them), who used to be famous in their singing career in the past. And it’s true that they didn’t want he entered the entertainment world cuz at that time, Taka still in secondary school and they knew how hard it would take. But in the end, they still let him took singing lesson haha
One ok rock have been my favorite artists to see live. I try to attended each time they come to my city, I haven't seen another artist who puts on a show like them.
One Ok ROck's live concerts are really different. Taka is a very amazing vocalist, the emotions, the hype, the energy, they can spread it to you with their music. You should really check more of their music and live concert videos. THEY. ARE. MASTERPIECE.
It was really fun .🍀🍀🍀 Other than that, Official Hige Dandism(Official髭男dism), YOASOBI, Ado, Kenshi Yonezu(米津 玄師), Hikaru Utada(宇多田 ヒカル) etc. cannot be removed. If you look at the number of views, you will understand 😊 ✨ Please react again ❗️❗️
I am a fan of fujii kaze… he started doing covers before when he was younger…i was supposed to watch his one man concert last year but because of corona.. it didn’t happen.. 😢😢😢 you might want to listen to his other songs like kaerou, mo-eh-wa, yasashisa and seishun sick… his full length album is great…you wont be pressing skip when you listen to any of the songs. 🙂
No! One! Is! Talking! About! Fujii! Kaze! okay, the video at his part kept getting cut, but he's AMAZING and he is one of those very few artists where you could absolutely feel his passion, I guarantee that if you show a normal pianist clips of Kaze playing his piano in his OWN way, they're gonna freak out. He's a god damn explosion. His uniqueness and range is amazing because he listens to a variety of music and because he's so skilled and familiar with the piano that literally every musician in Japan adores him. Please check him out!
I have seen OOR live in Australia and it doesn’t matter the size of the stage, venue or crowd, they still put this much effort into every single concert. Not to mention the effort they put into writing their music, a lot of their songs have both Japanese & English versions. They write in English first and then they translate to Japanese. They are my no.1 favourite because it’s obvious how much they love their fan base & their passion is honestly second to none!
my most favorite japanese artists - Kenshi Yonezu (he is a genius), Official higedandism, Aimyon (Marigold is my life theme song lol), Reol, LiSA, One OK rock, Yoasobi, Ado, King Gnu.
YOU KNOW WHAT??? I remember that there is a live version of Tomoya (OOK's drummer) playing their song Taking Off, the camera is right behind him, you should check it out (i'll leave the link below)
Taking Off (Tomoya's Drum Ver.) from "Ambitions" JAPAN TOUR 2017 - th-cam.com/video/OtTFPZSQ_Qc/w-d-xo.html And some more with this song: Taking Off [Studio Jam Session] - th-cam.com/video/y6swyQ9bF7w/w-d-xo.html
Me *eating sushi and watching this* : is this Universe telling me to listen to “One Ok Rock”?? Waleska and Efra as always making me discover new songs regardless of what language it is. To be honest I did saw this band on Ed Sheran’s IG but didn’t pay much attention but now I’m definitely gonna check them out and add it to my Spotify playlist.
Let me help you, here are my recommendations of One Ok Rock's songs : - "C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h." - "Clock Strikes" - "Deeper Deeper" - "Yes I am" - "Cry out" - "Living Dolls" - "Ketsuraku Automation" (this one isn't available on Spotify, you can check this on TH-cam)
One Ok Rock and Radwimps are like my Japanese treasure 😭 Whenever someone ask me to recommend a Japanese music, I automatically tell OOR or Radwimps 👑❤️👏😊🙌
YASS I LIVE FOR THIS. As much as i love kpop, jpop is just one step further. There are sooo many genres, so many songs that worth to listen to. Please do more of japanese special!!
Kaze Fujii is an amazing piano player! He has been showing his piano technique on TH-cam since he was teenager. You should check his own channel and go over from the oldest.
Lisa really is the Queen 👑 of Japanese music. No words to describe how amazing she is. PETITION FOR MORE LISA REACTIONS!!! - also maybe react to shout baby as well at first take. Thanks. 👏
YUURI is so talented his songs are so good and comforting all his live performances are done so beautifully..... I love that you guys included him in your list 😭 please show him some love y'all he's amazing..
King Gnu’s song 白日 (hakujitsu) means broad daylight. If you like Dry Flower, you should check out the song before it called kakurenbo, which means hide and seek. The two songs are a connected story and dry flower is the sequel. I would also recommend Aimer. I am happy to see that Japanese music is being featured. I have always been a fan. They have such unique voices and their songs are so down to earth and relatable.
Thanks for having japanese music a feature friday on your channel..Although im here to watch for One Ok Rock reaction..Im glad you both like there music..
I almost watched all ONE OK ROCK's concert DVD. I think the only left are their "Mighty Long Fall" concert in 2014, Jinsei X BoKu tour in 2012 (?) and their Budokan concert way back 2010. If you will watched their concerts, you may think it is kind of cult. The way the crowd was like one of the members of the band and just singing with Taka in the right moment is really astonishing to watch even in just your gadgets. You will also feel like you are in that concert because of how great their concerts are. One Ok Rock being great in live performances and Taka being a great live vocalists and great in commanding the crowd made this band so popular. Their concert is really one of the thing that I really wish I can attend before I die. Also, mostly their songs are more on anthem-like that made the crowd sing along with the band and they also have a lot of songs that empowering and inspirational. That is why I can't stop loving this band after I heard their song Heartache in the ending credits of Rurouni Kenshin: Legend Ends movie. Fun Fact: Taka (vocalist) was sick in this concert. That is why they have to delayed the concert for hour. Also, Taka was once listed #17 (if I remember it correctly) as one of the best rock vocalist way back 2016 or 2018. Mostly Japanese rock bands already have a song that made for anime's but One Ok Rock don't have except for the movie franchise of Rurouni Kenshin which they sang all the OST of the 5 movies. The first song you react to them is one of the OST.
Mighty Long Fall is one of my favorites and Budokan is also great, while Jinsei x Boku contains most of my favorite songs. OOR really doesnt miss! I can never get tired of watching their live tours in Japan. The crowd and the vibe is something else
@@shinryouzen Orchesta Japan tour is my favorite concert of them. Ambitions is also one of a chance experience, esp. the Nagisaen special. But my favorite songs have been in their Niche syndrome and Kanjo effect album, and they've perform most of them in JinseiXboku tour and Budokan. Their concert is really something. I even illegaly download their concerts. Lol. cuz you will have a hard time finding the DVD's of it.Plus the fact that it is quite pricey. And the one that got tortured was my phone memory. The file was so big. I will watch it if I already have time.
The only official live video of King Gnu is 三文小説(Sanmon-syousetsu). The vocal is using a bit different technique of singing (I assume, not having musical knowledge),but his vocal is brilliant even in the live performance. Please check out if you can.
Jajajaja yo sí termine llorando con la letra de "we are" Si reaccionan más a ONE OK ROCK, les recomiendo que sean a sus en vivos, son una locura ❤️✨✨✨✨✨
Yes, back in the day before Kpop was popular, it was all about Anime, Jpop, Jrock and just Japan in general. Jpop was actually the reason I got into Kpop. I listened to the Japanese version of TVXQ's Rising Sun and that was my gateway into Kpop. Initially, I actually thought TVXQ was a Japanese group. Turned out they were Korean. They were so big back then too.
Haha same, got into BoA because I was listening to a lot of Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru, and TRAX because they were linked to X Japan. Legit thought they were Japanese. Then I got into DBSK because they featured both BoA and TRAX. All downhill into K-pop from there.
OMG 😭😭😭 tq so much for this...I'm literally crying WTH 🤧🤣 I'm in love with Japanese music ❤️ please react to Radwimps, they're also an amazing band! Yuuri is amazing too.. there's also a FIRST TAKE version of his song Dry Flower and it's mind blowing and please react to his other song Kakurenbo on THE FIRST TAKE too Also I don't like rock but when it's Japanese rock or anything related to anime, I just can't help falling in love with it 😂 Much love from Manipur, India ❤️🇮🇳
so as a japanese music fan, i do appreciate this. I go from japanese pop music (90s, 2010s), old ballads, rock (alternative, metal, pop), classical theater. Oh my, they have amazing vocalists, musicians, thespians, and dancers..It is such an amazing world!!! :)
One ok rock lives are the best things ever. It's on my bucket list to watch them live You have to watch the version where he sang with a bunch of teenagers for a project. It's super emotional.
King gnu’s vocalist (satoru iguchi) study in voices major college by the way this song is easy to sing than theirs another song(the hole,familiar, sanmon shosetu). For my bias(Daiki Tsuneta), he have other project that call Millennium Parade which is more fantasy and he also a composer.
I hope you will do more One Ok Rock reactions. They are not just an ordinary rock band. Their lives are always the best. "I was king" orchestra version and "clock strikes" live at Yokohama please. 🤘
YES!!! I've been suggesting WAGAKKI BAND to them too, I hope they will do it. So EPIC! They need to see them! Waleska & Efra, check this please for First Time Feature: Wagakki Band - 焔 (Homura) + 暁ノ糸 (Akatsuki no Ito) / 1st JAPAN Tour 2015 Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo m.th-cam.com/video/ponTbDDMYjw/w-d-xo.html
Been waiting for this. Finally. One ok rock is the best jrock band ive heard. Then there's FLOW. One of the more famous band for playing some anime themes.
Fun fact: Taka was once a member of an idol group from Japan's entertainment giant Johnny's Ent., but then he left before the group (NEWS, which turned to be one of the biggest Jpop idol groups) even releases any songs because he felt he's just not cut for it. AND HE WAS RIGHT. He did the right thing by being in One Ok Rock. Also, someone commented here that Jpop paved the way for Kpop, and I think so too because even the first generation Kpop idols are fans of Arashi (the biggest Japanese idol group ever). I was a huge Jpop fan long before I knew Kpop and finally turned into an ARMY lol.
This is actually Taka's dark past (fandom joke). He hates taking about his idol background actually 😂😂 plus Toru (guitar) and Ryota (bass) were actually childhood friends who started as hiphop dancers 🤣 videos of them break dancing as middle schoolers are still around the internet, if anyone wants to check that out. 😝
Going to One Ok Rock, Bigbang & YGfamily concert is my dream. They always have the best vibe, croud & many things that makes u want to be part of it. Next please react to their Cry Out live Performance because if u want to get to One OK Rock is 999999999+% way better to listend to their live then their studio ver.
Fun fact about OOR: they are the one's who also direct the lights in their concerts. they are pretty particular. live peformance issssss awesomeee guysss... live is better than even the post prod live uploaded. i tell you i hear the band 100% but I can't hear the concert-goers. that was an awesome experience. taka also had a duet with arnel pineda of journey.
13:43 i just really want to say that i LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction to Toru's movement!!! i thought im just a die-hard fangirl and that's why i went crazy for that hair flip-
Thank you so much for this! Ofc we want another j-music podcast. I dont know anything about music, but I can say that japanese music is extremely diverse. Thant's why I always tell people j-music is really fun to dive into. And I think some of the artists you included here is considered jpop, like LiSA, Yuuri and Fujii Kaze, tho LiSA has a really strong rock sounds. Actually I think the one you mean the biggest artist in Japan is probably Kenshi Yonezu, not Fujii Kaze. Fuji Kaze ofc is a really popular artist, but he still considered a rookie, his popularity was compared to Utada Hikaru because both are really young when debut and quickly becames popular. But Kenshi Yonezu is obviously the one that rule the mainstream chart rn.
I for one would love a part 2 ✌ 🙌 Fujii Kaze is not a legend but is on his way to being one if he keeps at the momentum he is going at. If anyone is interested he actually has a free concert streaming in like 4hrs (13:00 JST, Sept 4) He along with Yuuri and Kenshi Yonezu (who you did not get to react to) are some of, if not are, the biggest breakthrough artists in Japan in the recent years. The song "dry flower" you reacted to by Yuuri was released in 2020 and still continues to lead in the charts. Kenshi yonezu's "lemon" released in 2018 dominated, and he actually got song of the year twice with the same song 🤷🏾♀️ and he just released a new album which is equally pulling numbers. A few actual legends: utada hikaru, shiina riingo, gackt, Ayumi hamasaki I'm actually now very curious to what SIRUP's actual name is, For as long as I have listened to him, I never really wondered. But now that it's been brought up I'm going to think about it everytime I listen to him. I tried to Google it and found nothing. Edit: Also the king gnu track 白日 is pronounced haku-jitsu and it means "bright day" 白(white "bright") 日(day)
King GNU is sooo awesome, 1:24:49 this song is so iconic. It's still in my playlist even after all these years. Try listening to their song "The Hole" too. Please also try: Yui- Again, Feel my soul and Hello ( or any of her songs). Colors - Flow Sign - Flow Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul OST Shunkan sentimental- Scandal Happiness- Arashi Spirits of the sea - Kenshi Yonezu (you both wont regret listening to this, if you guys have time try listening to all his song it is the definition of art) Machigai Sagashi - Masaki Suda
Saw one ok rock live in Melbourne, Australia literally a minute before COVID hit and it was amazing I was 1 metre away from Taka and he sounds amazing live, they all do and they blew my mind wow
Japanese hip-hop and rnb are really big in early 2000s. They have so many divas, rap artists, groups that are heavily inspired by black culture. But today only rnb remains really big in the mainstream media, idk why but j hip-hop is only popular in the underground scene rn. I think they slowly being mainstream again tho. But I really rarely seen any j hip-hop artists in j music charts unless they are the big names from the early 2000s. The first take only have a few hip-hop and rnb artists, if u want to check them out - Shota Shimizu - Hentai Shinshi club - SKY-HI - Creepy nuts ( and Umeda cypher) - Def tech (they're more like hawaiian reggae) - Miliyah Kato - Rude-a - EXILE Takahiro and Ryuto Kazuhara from Generations (they're from a pop group, but their song is more rnb I guess)
Been waiting for you to get to Japanese music! I'm glad you reacted to LiSA's Gurenge. She's an awesome performer, even live with those difficult songs.
That was cool. Thank you! Some other Japanese artists and bands for you to check out: Yonezu Kenshi (he's fantastic!!!), Official HIGE DANdism (they're hot right now), YOASOBI (they did several First Take's), Yama (she recently did an awesome First Take!), Eve (the animated video's with his songs are fantastic... and his songs are fantastic... he's got two live video's), SEKAI NO OWARI, ichikoro (instrumental), Kitani Tatsuya, Reol, and THE ORAL CIGARETTES... to name but a few. And more OOR, of course!
takahiro in one of his interviews said that he wants his band to be a special and non traditional metal rock band , they focus on the topics and vocals , and made a music that anyone can listen to it and love it even non-fan of rock , to keep the japonese rock alive and fresh , and you know what , i think they succed on doing that , and now they are from the biggest and unique rock bands in the world , and i'm proud of being fan of them since middle school around five years ago , and nowadays i listen to them even more than i used to do !!! i recommend for you guys to check more lives of theirs because they always kill it !! first song i heard of them was "WHEREVER YOU ARE'" i hope you check the live ver of it soon and welcome EFRA to the fandom of ONE OK ROCK Never heard of other artist in this video , sorry because i am not into japonese music industry / Anime (maybe movies and series ), but i enjoyed them especially LiSa and King GNU ( i've already saved their songs in my playlist) and BTW i've search and found that their name is King Gnu not Kgnu !!!
That Gurenge song has been playing at my local store for like a year and a half and it has been driving me crazy since the first month. That’s how much Japanese people like the song and its anime.

Every Japanese concert basically.

I had been looking for a youtuber to make an educated reaction in AOT's My War!
I absolutely support this idea. I hope they can try the live concerts of those bands who sang the OST's of these animes.
@@lovefilledpessimist4780 @Eden Bunagan I know I’ll be singing out loud AOT’s OST in gibberish except for “sasageyo, sasageyo, Shinzou Wo Sasageyo” part.

I so agree with this
Fujii Kaze's debut was only recent around 2019-2018 but he really has shown that he is one of a kind musical genius, and the most kind-hearted human being ever.
ONE OK ROCK

Toru - guitarist / leader

banana fish
❤❤❤ banana fish, survive said the prophet another great band
Actually you’re pretty much right I’ve heard from a lot of people that Japanese is the most beautiful language out there and it becomes extra beautiful when they sing. I 100% agree with you.
Yeah, voice changes. Mostly due to vowels and some consonants
But one ok rock is the bestttt ever
Japanese people are known for being orderly.

I've been there and it's not overhyped at all. I think that's why their concerts seem so organized and orderly as well.
Yeah, they are strict as well,I heard that a train manager had to apologize in public because the train was late for 1 minute.
와..유튜브영상으로만보던 댓글을ㅋㅋㅋ실제로보게될줄이야...소름이네
으..
The Japanese were so orderly that they forced women into sexual slavery roles, the genocide that killed more than 100,000 people. They are no different from the Nazi War Crimes Bureau, but they have not apologized
@@vkim106 you don't agree?
Aw, Fujii Kaze just had a free online concert on YT just a few hours ago! Just him playing the piano and singing in the rain in the middle of a stadium. It was transcendent.
Japanese music in one sentence: live is much better than studio version
definitely!!!
That's true.
When they are in front of the audience, they enjoy it with all their soul.
In most cases you will see a complete difference.
Accurate :)
ONE OK ROCK!!! Most of their stages are emotionally charged. Please react to more live. You won't be disappointed!
I literally just had a random thought the other day that y'all should react to anime openings
I second this notion!!! :D
YESSS
IM READY FOR THIS!!!!!
Yesss pleaseee!!!👌🏻
I mean YESSSS but I'm not sure if they can do that cause of the copyright issue.....BUT I WANT THAT
Some people (especially kpop fans that don't know jpop that much) usually think jpop is all about cuteness, and meaningless lyrics. BUT actually, they have A LOT of deep lyrics, and not to mention VERY UNIQUE sound, that I seriously think more people should appreciate it. Even a group that usually has a cute concept has some deep lyrics too!
absolutely!!!
Necry Talkie’s lyrics for example.
Yup they have unique concept
Babymetal for example
Cuteness overload of teenage girl combine with heavy metal music
And ITS work well
Some on the list are jrock not only jpop
Most also don't know that K-pop is heavily influenced by J-pop, not the other way around.
One Ok Rock always give me goosebumps when I listen/ watch them. So moving , so powerful. I want to see them. The band too amazing.
I hope you will react to "I was king orchestra version" of One OK Rock, the drummer "Tomoya" shines here.
UP!!!
UP!!!

They have so many music communities that are really big too, not to mention folk and alternative bands are always big in Japan despite of the era.
I personally have found that some Japanese music has the most interesting, beautiful and unique melody arrangement
You need a Podcast for only one ok rock live versions. They are out of this word. They have a concert with a symphonic Orchestra.
fujii kaze is an amazing singer because he likes to experiment with his songs, his song "Kirari" is one of my all-time favorites!
Fujii Kaze is great, please check out more of his music.
Gosh, Taka’s parents are both singers you know so that’s why he has such a good voice. Oh wait, you really have to listen to My First Story too 💋 the vocal of this band is Taka’s brother
oh i agree i fans my first story too, greet from indonesia :D
Wait I thought his parents are both in medical field. And at first his parents are against him doing music.
@@krisangei6163 Oh i think you have some mistakes cuz Taka’s parents are Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori (you can search for them), who used to be famous in their singing career in the past. And it’s true that they didn’t want he entered the entertainment world cuz at that time, Taka still in secondary school and they knew how hard it would take. But in the end, they still let him took singing lesson haha
@@muhammadrizkialdinoputra3357 omg i love them so much ♥️
One ok rock have been my favorite artists to see live. I try to attended each time they come to my city, I haven't seen another artist who puts on a show like them.
One Ok ROck's live concerts are really different. Taka is a very amazing vocalist, the emotions, the hype, the energy, they can spread it to you with their music. You should really check more of their music and live concert videos. THEY. ARE. MASTERPIECE.
It was really fun .🍀🍀🍀 Other than that,
Official Hige Dandism(Official髭男dism), YOASOBI, Ado, Kenshi Yonezu(米津 玄師), Hikaru Utada(宇多田 ヒカル) etc. cannot be removed.
If you look at the number of views, you will understand 😊 ✨ Please react again ❗️❗️
Totally agree 😭😭😭 they’re a must
I am a fan of fujii kaze… he started doing covers before when he was younger…i was supposed to watch his one man concert last year but because of corona.. it didn’t happen.. 😢😢😢 you might want to listen to his other songs like kaerou, mo-eh-wa, yasashisa and seishun sick… his full length album is great…you wont be pressing skip when you listen to any of the songs. 🙂
Fujii Kaze is amazing!! Especially his song Kaerou. It's so beautiful!
No! One! Is! Talking! About! Fujii! Kaze! okay, the video at his part kept getting cut, but he's AMAZING and he is one of those very few artists where you could absolutely feel his passion, I guarantee that if you show a normal pianist clips of Kaze playing his piano in his OWN way, they're gonna freak out. He's a god damn explosion. His uniqueness and range is amazing because he listens to a variety of music and because he's so skilled and familiar with the piano that literally every musician in Japan adores him. Please check him out!
Who likes Japanese music has a supreme taste ✨
I have seen OOR live in Australia and it doesn’t matter the size of the stage, venue or crowd, they still put this much effort into every single concert. Not to mention the effort they put into writing their music, a lot of their songs have both Japanese & English versions. They write in English first and then they translate to Japanese. They are my no.1 favourite because it’s obvious how much they love their fan base & their passion is honestly second to none!
my most favorite japanese artists - Kenshi Yonezu (he is a genius), Official higedandism, Aimyon (Marigold is my life theme song lol), Reol, LiSA, One OK rock, Yoasobi, Ado, King Gnu.
kenshi is slept on by ppl outside japan his music is pure gold
Official higedandism is dope. I like their songs 😊😊😊
Ado my queen

Me *eating sushi and watching this* : is this Universe telling me to listen to “One Ok Rock”?? Waleska and Efra as always making me discover new songs regardless of what language it is. To be honest I did saw this band on Ed Sheran’s IG but didn’t pay much attention but now I’m definitely gonna check them out and add it to my Spotify playlist.
Let me help you, here are my recommendations of One Ok Rock's songs :
- "C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h."
- "Clock Strikes"
- "Deeper Deeper"
- "Yes I am"
- "Cry out"
- "Living Dolls"
- "Ketsuraku Automation" (this one isn't available on Spotify, you can check this on TH-cam)
@@CrazyFangirl-cf8yh Thank you dear human being 🙏🏼 Will check it out when I’ve time and will let you know.
You should!
@@carloalvarez6602 ok 👍🏼
@@CrazyFangirl-cf8yh hail to their old songs.
Finally, completing the Asia's best music trilogy - Japan, Korea, Philippines. Eyy!!!
Yes!!!! One ok rock!!! Thanks!!!
Спасибо вам! Они нереально крутые! Их живые выступления просто взрывают мозг и душу! Спасибо!
That’s what I’m taking about! I watch OOR live videos on a constant basis because they are too damn good.
One Ok Rock and Radwimps are like my Japanese treasure 😭 Whenever someone ask me to recommend a Japanese music, I automatically tell OOR or Radwimps 👑❤️👏😊🙌
Same, definitely my go to bands. Add Aimer, Lisa, Goose House, Ikimonogakari, and Asian Kung-Fu Generation, then that'd be my playlist.
YASS I LIVE FOR THIS. As much as i love kpop, jpop is just one step further. There are sooo many genres, so many songs that worth to listen to. Please do more of japanese special!!
I’ve got goosebumps and emotional through out the whole video. These are Artists blessed with the greatest talents.
Let me tell you i just got to know ONE OK ROCK 2 months back and i regret not checking them out early they're insane✨
Omg thank you so much for checking out ONE OK ROCK - we are (live performance) I really enjoyed this reaction💗
Kaze Fujii is an amazing piano player! He has been showing his piano technique on TH-cam since he was teenager. You should check his own channel and go over from the oldest.
Lisa really is the Queen 👑 of Japanese music. No words to describe how amazing she is.
PETITION FOR MORE LISA REACTIONS!!!
- also maybe react to shout baby as well at first take. Thanks. 👏
YUURI is so talented his songs are so good and comforting all his live performances are done so beautifully..... I love that you guys included him in your list 😭 please show him some love y'all he's amazing..
Yeah he is, but he cheated on a lot of girls before :(
@@Qwertyuiop-bj8ry Really???
*We Are will always be superior.* Taka's voice is flawless! I always has goosebumps everytime I come back to their video 🤘
I'm 10 minutes in, I'm soooo hype with OOR!!!!!!!
you guys one ok rock are KINGS the need a whole special for them alone
I COUNDNT AGREE MORE
King Gnu’s song 白日 (hakujitsu) means broad daylight.
If you like Dry Flower, you should check out the song before it called kakurenbo, which means hide and seek. The two songs are a connected story and dry flower is the sequel.
I would also recommend Aimer.
I am happy to see that Japanese music is being featured. I have always been a fan. They have such unique voices and their songs are so down to earth and relatable.
Fujii Kaze 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for having japanese music a feature friday on your channel..Although im here to watch for One Ok Rock reaction..Im glad you both like there music..
Fun fact: One Ok Rock's vocalist, Taka, was a former idol. He was part of the idol group NEWS back in 2003
So far I've never seen a performance from One Ok Rock that doesn't amaze me.
I almost watched all ONE OK ROCK's concert DVD. I think the only left are their "Mighty Long Fall" concert in 2014, Jinsei X BoKu tour in 2012 (?) and their Budokan concert way back 2010. If you will watched their concerts, you may think it is kind of cult. The way the crowd was like one of the members of the band and just singing with Taka in the right moment is really astonishing to watch even in just your gadgets. You will also feel like you are in that concert because of how great their concerts are. One Ok Rock being great in live performances and Taka being a great live vocalists and great in commanding the crowd made this band so popular. Their concert is really one of the thing that I really wish I can attend before I die.
Also, mostly their songs are more on anthem-like that made the crowd sing along with the band and they also have a lot of songs that empowering and inspirational. That is why I can't stop loving this band after I heard their song Heartache in the ending credits of Rurouni Kenshin: Legend Ends movie.
Fun Fact: Taka (vocalist) was sick in this concert. That is why they have to delayed the concert for hour. Also, Taka was once listed #17 (if I remember it correctly) as one of the best rock vocalist way back 2016 or 2018. Mostly Japanese rock bands already have a song that made for anime's but One Ok Rock don't have except for the movie franchise of Rurouni Kenshin which they sang all the OST of the 5 movies. The first song you react to them is one of the OST.
Mighty Long Fall is one of my favorites and Budokan is also great, while Jinsei x Boku contains most of my favorite songs. OOR really doesnt miss! I can never get tired of watching their live tours in Japan. The crowd and the vibe is something else
@@shinryouzen Orchesta Japan tour is my favorite concert of them. Ambitions is also one of a chance experience, esp. the Nagisaen special. But my favorite songs have been in their Niche syndrome and Kanjo effect album, and they've perform most of them in JinseiXboku tour and Budokan. Their concert is really something. I even illegaly download their concerts. Lol. cuz you will have a hard time finding the DVD's of it.Plus the fact that it is quite pricey. And the one that got tortured was my phone memory. The file was so big. I will watch it if I already have time.
The only official live video of King Gnu is 三文小説(Sanmon-syousetsu). The vocal is using a bit different technique of singing (I assume, not having musical knowledge),but his vocal is brilliant even in the live performance. Please check out if you can.
The best thing about One Ok Rock is that they always sing from the heart. You should check out their songs "Be the light" and "Stand out fit in"
Jajajaja yo sí termine llorando con la letra de "we are"
Si reaccionan más a ONE OK ROCK, les recomiendo que sean a sus en vivos, son una locura ❤️✨✨✨✨✨
Yes, back in the day before Kpop was popular, it was all about Anime, Jpop, Jrock and just Japan in general. Jpop was actually the reason I got into Kpop. I listened to the Japanese version of TVXQ's Rising Sun and that was my gateway into Kpop. Initially, I actually thought TVXQ was a Japanese group. Turned out they were Korean. They were so big back then too.
Omg same. Tvxq got me into kpop. I was into jpop until i saw them singing doshite kimi wo suki ni natte shimatandarou
x2
That was almost exactly the same for me too. I went Rurouni Kenshin anime > L'Arc-en-Ciel/TM Revolution > Jrock/Jpop > DBSK/TVXQ > Kpop.
Haha same, got into BoA because I was listening to a lot of Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru, and TRAX because they were linked to X Japan. Legit thought they were Japanese. Then I got into DBSK because they featured both BoA and TRAX. All downhill into K-pop from there.
Omg same I discovered TVXQ while enjoying Japanese releases (their Japanese releases were superb) and then got into TVXQ and Koop
OMG 😭😭😭 tq so much for this...I'm literally crying WTH 🤧🤣
I'm in love with Japanese music ❤️ please react to Radwimps, they're also an amazing band! Yuuri is amazing too.. there's also a FIRST TAKE version of his song Dry Flower and it's mind blowing and please react to his other song Kakurenbo on THE FIRST TAKE too
Also I don't like rock but when it's Japanese rock or anything related to anime, I just can't help falling in love with it 😂
Much love from Manipur, India ❤️🇮🇳
I was also expecting they will include Radwimps. 🥺 oh well, maybe there's part 2! 😁✌️ love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
@@keeeyteee yes Radwimps is just 😘❤️
Yasss! RADWIMPS 💕
OOR and Radwimps are like my Japanese treasure 😭😊❤️👑👏
so as a japanese music fan, i do appreciate this. I go from japanese pop music (90s, 2010s), old ballads, rock (alternative, metal, pop), classical theater. Oh my, they have amazing vocalists, musicians, thespians, and dancers..It is such an amazing world!!! :)
WE LUV FUJII KAZE😍
One ok rock lives are the best things ever. It's on my bucket list to watch them live
You have to watch the version where he sang with a bunch of teenagers for a project. It's super emotional.
I like Fujii Kaze and One Ok Rock ❤️❤️❤️❤️
King gnu’s vocalist (satoru iguchi) study in voices major college by the way this song is easy to sing than theirs another song(the hole,familiar, sanmon shosetu). For my bias(Daiki Tsuneta), he have other project that call Millennium Parade which is more fantasy and he also a composer.
I hope you will do more One Ok Rock reactions. They are not just an ordinary rock band. Their lives are always the best.
"I was king" orchestra version and "clock strikes" live at Yokohama please. 🤘
Aaaaa you reacted to LiSA!!! She's one of my favorite japanese soloists, her voice is *chef kiss* and her songs are bangers, thank you sm
Someone support showing Wagakki band to Waleska and Efra 🥺💜 they're amazing! A combo of rock and traditional Japanese instruments, delicious!
YES!!! I've been suggesting WAGAKKI BAND to them too, I hope they will do it.
So EPIC! They need to see them!
Waleska & Efra, check this please for First Time Feature:

Been waiting for this. Finally. One ok rock is the best jrock band ive heard.
Then there's FLOW. One of the more famous band for playing some anime themes.
I can't with Taka's voice... I just can't
He's so talented. 💙
Please keep watching more live performances from one ok rock 🙌🏼🙌🏼 there are so many mind-blowing ones 😍😍😍😍 I love your shirt Waleska 😍💕🤭
Fun fact: Taka was once a member of an idol group from Japan's entertainment giant Johnny's Ent., but then he left before the group (NEWS, which turned to be one of the biggest Jpop idol groups) even releases any songs because he felt he's just not cut for it. AND HE WAS RIGHT. He did the right thing by being in One Ok Rock.
Also, someone commented here that Jpop paved the way for Kpop, and I think so too because even the first generation Kpop idols are fans of Arashi (the biggest Japanese idol group ever). I was a huge Jpop fan long before I knew Kpop and finally turned into an ARMY lol.
army here too
@@narendrakumargiri.2970 Hi there!
Arashi❤️
@@theaflores2365 Legends! lol. Even during the current hiatus their popularity is still so big.
This is actually Taka's dark past (fandom joke). He hates taking about his idol background actually 😂😂 plus Toru (guitar) and Ryota (bass) were actually childhood friends who started as hiphop dancers 🤣 videos of them break dancing as middle schoolers are still around the internet, if anyone wants to check that out. 😝
Going to One Ok Rock, Bigbang & YGfamily concert is my dream. They always have the best vibe, croud & many things that makes u want to be part of it. Next please react to their Cry Out live Performance because if u want to get to One OK Rock is 999999999+% way better to listend to their live then their studio ver.
I have seen both groups live and they're are absolutely amazing. I really hope you get the chance to see them.
Oh My G .. That is also my wishful thinking. Concert of One ok rock, Bigbang, Winner, Treasure and Justin Bieber.
My dreams are OOR, Perfume, Wagakki Band, and EXILE concerts. The best of best & coolest vibe and energy.
Omggggg samee ;_;
Okay. So ya'll HAVE TO react to ONE OK ROCK - We Are (18 Fes Ver). Tears, I tell you, I get tears every time.
Fun fact about OOR: they are the one's who also direct the lights in their concerts. they are pretty particular. live peformance issssss awesomeee guysss... live is better than even the post prod live uploaded. i tell you i hear the band 100% but I can't hear the concert-goers. that was an awesome experience. taka also had a duet with arnel pineda of journey.
More of Fuji Kaze pleaseee!!! Matsuri and Kirari.
y'know what, i think it's now time for a ONE OK ROCK special 🥰
Finally, OOR live perf reaction from you guys! Thank you❤
Yeah!!! ONE OK ROCK!!! Turn it up!
My very wish is to be in their concert LIVE!
Thank you! :)
You have to react to One Ok Rock's live of "We Are 18 Fes". That was one of the most incredible live shows I've ever watched.
I LOVE how much you love 'we are' the emotions!!!!
More One Ok Rock please. Next "Clock Strikes" live in Yokohama Stadium.
13:43 i just really want to say that i LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction to Toru's movement!!! i thought im just a die-hard fangirl and that's why i went crazy for that hair flip-
Man Hakujitsu/白日 is still a banger~ I listen to all of them and I'm glad you're getting to know them~ Waiting for more Japanese and Filipino music~
Yey! I've been waiting for this. Fan of Jpop and Jrock for 9 years. ❤️
Please react more to One Ok Rock live performance, they are really amazing. From Yokohama stadium 2014 or ambition tour
You guys should definitely check we are the 18 fes version. Its so raw
Thank you so much for this! Ofc we want another j-music podcast. I dont know anything about music, but I can say that japanese music is extremely diverse. Thant's why I always tell people j-music is really fun to dive into. And I think some of the artists you included here is considered jpop, like LiSA, Yuuri and Fujii Kaze, tho LiSA has a really strong rock sounds.
Actually I think the one you mean the biggest artist in Japan is probably Kenshi Yonezu, not Fujii Kaze. Fuji Kaze ofc is a really popular artist, but he still considered a rookie, his popularity was compared to Utada Hikaru because both are really young when debut and quickly becames popular. But Kenshi Yonezu is obviously the one that rule the mainstream chart rn.
I for one would love a part 2 ✌ 🙌
Fujii Kaze is not a legend but is on his way to being one if he keeps at the momentum he is going at. If anyone is interested he actually has a free concert streaming in like 4hrs (13:00 JST, Sept 4)
He along with Yuuri and Kenshi Yonezu (who you did not get to react to) are some of, if not are, the biggest breakthrough artists in Japan in the recent years. The song "dry flower" you reacted to by Yuuri was released in 2020 and still continues to lead in the charts. Kenshi yonezu's "lemon" released in 2018 dominated, and he actually got song of the year twice with the same song 🤷🏾♀️ and he just released a new album which is equally pulling numbers.
A few actual legends: utada hikaru, shiina riingo, gackt, Ayumi hamasaki
I'm actually now very curious to what SIRUP's actual name is, For as long as I have listened to him, I never really wondered. But now that it's been brought up I'm going to think about it everytime I listen to him. I tried to Google it and found nothing.
Edit: Also the king gnu track 白日 is pronounced haku-jitsu and it means "bright day" 白(white "bright") 日(day)
I'm a simple person, I see One Ok Rock and... say no more! Let's go.
oh, I did not even noticed, Lisa and Yuuri was on the tittle. Love them too.
i find chord/time progressions in japanese pop/rock music very engaging. never a dull moment.
King GNU is sooo awesome, 1:24:49 this song is so iconic. It's still in my playlist even after all these years. Try listening to their song "The Hole" too.
Please also try:
Yui- Again, Feel my soul and Hello ( or any of her songs).
Colors - Flow
Sign - Flow
Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul OST
Shunkan sentimental- Scandal
Happiness- Arashi
Spirits of the sea - Kenshi Yonezu (you both wont regret listening to this, if you guys have time try listening to all his song it is the definition of art)
Machigai Sagashi - Masaki Suda
Pls react to fuji kaze shinonugae-wa
Saw one ok rock live in Melbourne, Australia literally a minute before COVID hit and it was amazing I was 1 metre away from Taka and he sounds amazing live, they all do and they blew my mind wow
Japanese hip-hop and rnb are really big in early 2000s. They have so many divas, rap artists, groups that are heavily inspired by black culture. But today only rnb remains really big in the mainstream media, idk why but j hip-hop is only popular in the underground scene rn. I think they slowly being mainstream again tho. But I really rarely seen any j hip-hop artists in j music charts unless they are the big names from the early 2000s.
The first take only have a few hip-hop and rnb artists, if u want to check them out
- Shota Shimizu
- Hentai Shinshi club
- SKY-HI
- Creepy nuts ( and Umeda cypher)
- Def tech (they're more like hawaiian reggae)
- Miliyah Kato
- Rude-a
- EXILE Takahiro and Ryuto Kazuhara from Generations (they're from a pop group, but their song is more rnb I guess)
Been waiting for you to get to Japanese music! I'm glad you reacted to LiSA's Gurenge. She's an awesome performer, even live with those difficult songs.
That was cool. Thank you! Some other Japanese artists and bands for you to check out: Yonezu Kenshi (he's fantastic!!!), Official HIGE DANdism (they're hot right now), YOASOBI (they did several First Take's), Yama (she recently did an awesome First Take!), Eve (the animated video's with his songs are fantastic... and his songs are fantastic... he's got two live video's), SEKAI NO OWARI, ichikoro (instrumental), Kitani Tatsuya, Reol, and THE ORAL CIGARETTES... to name but a few. And more OOR, of course!
takahiro in one of his interviews said that he wants his band to be a special and non traditional metal rock band , they focus on the topics and vocals , and made a music that anyone can listen to it and love it even non-fan of rock , to keep the japonese rock alive and fresh , and you know what , i think they succed on doing that , and now they are from the biggest and unique rock bands in the world , and i'm proud of being fan of them since middle school around five years ago , and nowadays i listen to them even more than i used to do !!! i recommend for you guys to check more lives of theirs because they always kill it !!
first song i heard of them was "WHEREVER YOU ARE'" i hope you check the live ver of it soon
and welcome EFRA to the fandom of ONE OK ROCK
Never heard of other artist in this video , sorry because i am not into japonese music industry / Anime (maybe movies and series ), but i enjoyed them especially LiSa and King GNU ( i've already saved their songs in my playlist) and BTW i've search and found that their name is King Gnu not Kgnu !!!
TAKA IS INSANE INSANE
OMG KING GNU AND FUJII KAZE
One Ok Rock is the best! Same reaction as Waleska when I first discovered them
That Gurenge song has been playing at my local store for like a year and a half and it has been driving me crazy since the first month. That’s how much Japanese people like the song and its anime.
POR FAVOR NECESITO MAS REACCIONES A ONE OK ROCK, TODAS SUS CANCIONES SON ARTEEEEE!!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Japan is the only place on this earth where rock is still cool.
Here for Fuzikaze and exploring other Japanese music. Love from India 😊❤️
