The whole point of the song is about contradictions, how society tells you to be all these things, how they don’t seem to make sense. The lyrics are supposed to point out these hypocrisies and try and expose these issues. The bridge contains a message of acceptance, as Taka sings “I am who I am, no matter what, never changing, no matter what”. He realizes he needs to be his own person, not being someone else, according to society’s standards. The accident was supposed to be a wake up call for him, and the dancer in a red dress is a Bian Lian (meaning "Face Changing" of Sichuan Opera) dancer. It's supposed to portray his old self/reflection who's to remind him of his origin (that he's a Chinese afterall), he realises and begins to dance in a traditional way following the Sichuan dancer, at the same time he's tempted copy his peers' moves which is a western dance so he's mixing the two, but couldn't "fit in" to his peers no matter what. He falls several times in attempt to copy his friends' ways out of peer pressure. In the end, his friends began lifting him then pushed him down, then out of exhaustion he finally broke free. He's back to his old self and learned his lesson (the kid was just a representation and not literal that he's back to being a kid). Overall, the depiction varies for individual and it's for general. It doesn't only apply to asians, but for all. The title of the song also contains the most important contradiction: “Stand out, fit in”. It means to be yourself or to “stand out”, while also conforming to society’s standards, or “fit in”. This message is especially resonant in Japan, where conformity is expected and individuality isn’t as prominent as it is in western countries such as the US, although many Japanese artists have been pushing to change this standard. The song is a criticism of societal hypocrisy, and a damn good one at that. Directly referencing double standards while pushing for individuality is what makes this song so powerful, and its message is important for anyone to hear, reinforcing that they can be themselves, and don’t have to be what society wants them to be.
@@xxForgottenx This. I don't think it is so much about changing the standard but rather the standard needs to change. We should "Try to color inside their lines " more and be rebels and vigilantes less.
One ok rock is japanese band. I've already their fans since 2013 and good to see that they're getting more attention from american market. Btw I Like your reaction it looks like so genuine.
This band formed in 2005, and the member are in their 30s It's one of their softest stuff.. They have screamo song, drum with double pedal song, hard core, etc
I've been enjoying ONE OK ROCK lately (well literary from their 'Ambitions' album) along with K-pop music and I can't believe u guys make this reaction video. I don't really know OOR that much, but I do know they sign with "Fueled by Ramen" (Paramore n Twenty One Pilots label) that's why they also have their songs in English version. If u wondering why this song is not rock while they are rock band, well u gotta check their album.
omg yesss finally one ok rock. They're so amazing when it comes to live performance. Please check out the others song by one ok rock like : mighty long fall bedroom warfare last dance we are taking off and if you guys interested into rock or alternative rock please check this british band called *NOTHING BUT THIEVES*. I know that NBT are not that famous like kpop or one ok rock but they're totally deserve to get more attention bc they're totally amazing. So pls check out their song : amsterdam trip switch wake up call graveyard whistling excuse me sorry if i get high live version lover, please stay live version this is getting too long haha bc of this reaction I subscribe
More One Ok Rock! Their origins are in rock but they've gone more mainstream in their most recent album to cater to the Western market. Please check out live performances as they're amazing live. For rock, you can check out their earlier songs - The Beginning, Nothing Helps, Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer. The vocalist Taka sings a range from rock to ballad, and their acoustic lives are great too.
They ARE JAPANESE band and their music bring in US... All their songs have a good meaning so keep it going more reaction to their musics... Im from Philippine... 🙌... Stand out you fit in...DECISIONS songs is more meaningful so try to react to the songs...
I quite liked this song. One of the things I enjoy about watching reactions is finding new music and artists to listen to. I will be checking out some more of the videos that one of your commenters mentioned. Gucci - there, I said it, lol. And my iPod was a black one like that. Great job, guys. I like the mix of Kpop and other stuff.
I think the dance represents our choices made in life. Each move changing our outcomes in our future.. It’s a beautiful symbolism of the decisions we make in life. Ultimately the boy gets a second chance to do it over differently.
More One ok Rock please.. I really want to see you guys react to "One by one" live at Saitama Super Arena, or "Ending story??" Live at Yokohama arena, it's very good!!🤟🤟
Would have been nice if you focused more on the song than the video :) at some point I felt like the music became some background music for the clip, you did not seem to notice that a verse was not in English even I saw that people in the comment section advised you well on which song from OOK to listen to, looking forward to seeing new reactions
Damn that music video hits home. Being Asian in a mostly white area sucked. I remember me and the other Asian kids were teased like that. I saw some try to fit in and did whatever it took to fit in even hating other Asians. Now that we’re older those kids who hated being Asian so much that they refused to learn their respective language and accept their culture regret it so much and wish they were bilingual. I was an outcast but I don’t regret it at all. Ironic how Kpop made korean culture so popular when those same kids who listen to kpop now could not even tell the difference between korean or Chinese or who we were.
Here is one of their old song called "Liar". This is the one that has a very intense rock element. I sure you guys will enjoy it. th-cam.com/video/SAHvDE9FFAE/w-d-xo.html
Pleaseee React to ONE SWEET DAY- bugoy, daryl Ong feat. Katrina Velarde. They are singers from the philippines and I absolutely knew already that you guys Will Love this. If you react to this. Im sure many Filipinos will subscribe to this Channel!

Love shot coming up very soon. Editing it as we speak, also Ben is in Croatia for a couple of days so we will be filming boy With Luv as soon as he's back! - Sam

Wow that was a nice read thanks!
This is exactly the whole song is about. Beautifully written 💜
This is worth reading...
The biggest hypocrisy in Western society is the fact that we value individuality but judge those who are different.

彼らアジア人差別する側なのかな😔
@@雨雪-k2x うまくいけば、多分彼はそこにある感情に気づいていないだけで、社会に支配なの民族の文化の観点から来ています。
それで彼は少しぎこちなく感じてそれを笑い飛ばそうとしました
しかし、あなたは決して知りません \ sorry for my bad japanese :) \
Would have been nice if you focused more on the song than the video :) at some point I felt like the music became some background music for the clip, you did not seem to notice that a verse was not in English even
I saw that people in the comment section advised you well on which song from OOK to listen to, looking forward to seeing new reactions
you have to react the live of the orchestra version is really good😍 check in their official channel ☺
