The sound of ONE OK ROCK

Mar 11, 2008 13:14

I've been listening to ONE OK ROCK for more than one month now so i have decided to upload their discography today.

How did i come to listen to them?
The male vocalist of ONE OK ROCK - Moriuchi Takahiro - was once in the j-pop band NEWS (which i totally love!). Hahaha everybody already knows that! *O* He sang for the NEWS Nippon single in 2003. But he left Johnny's Entertainment right before NEWS' official debut as he wanted to continue his studies. So after watching Moriuchi perfom for NEWS i gave a throw look on his profile and VOILA!
In 2005 he joined ONE OK ROCK and began going under the alias TAKA.
The members of the band are MY age. That would make them 18-19 years old.



The first ONE OK ROCK song i had listened to was 'Yume Yume' and i wasn't that much impressed coz the sound was too American. But i loved the video and the fact they were so lively in it. So i went to YouTube for more ONE OK ROCK songs. And i fell in love with 'Et Cetera' . Both the song AND the clip ! And the rest is history <3 I really like them and they are awesome dudes judging from their looks too.
Now i'm impatiently waiting for their DVD to be released 'coz i really want to watch their LIVE performance.

A few infos on them -taken from wiki.theppn
Members
  • TAKA (Vocal)
  • Toru (Vocal&Guitar)
  • Alex (Guitar)
  • Ryota (Bass)
  • Tomoya (Drums)
Information



In summer 2005, Toru with High School friends Alex and Ryota started the band. It started after each of them got their musical instruments. After that TAKA joined and they focused on performing lives in the Tokyo area.

In 2006 they independently released 2 mini albums. Because their albums sales, their participation at festivals that summer and their energetic lives in the outskirts of Tokyo, were noticed by a foreign record company. At their first One-Man Live done at LOFT in Shinjuku 500 people attended.

In March 2007 Tomoya officially joined the group and the 5 person group made their major debut by releasing their first single Naihi Shinsho on April 25th.

The group came up with the name ONE OK ROCK because they would book studio time at One o'clock. The Japanese pronunciation of ONE OK ROCK (ワンオクロック) is wanokurokku which sounds like One o’clock.
