She gave the best review of Taka and One Ok Rock. The band said they wanted to make music with meaning and impact.
The lyrics to most of their songs are so deep- in this song the long pause was meant to draw you in and the next time he starts singing he mentions silence.
Nobody has a voice like Taka. He sings with passion and his range is incredible. That’s why I don’t like others covering their songs. It’s just not the same when kpop singers, especially, do it because it just doesn’t resonate with me. Kpop and JRock are miles apart. If Taka isn’t singing it, it just doesn’t work. Those songs are written for him and his voice.
I love this band SO much and the energy and passion with audience involvement is so good!
Taka's parents are famous singers in Japan. His younger brother Hiro is the vocalist of a rock band called My First Story. He has a pretty unique voice. Their father is famous for his husky voice. Their mother has a beautiful voice.
If you haven’t done WhereverYou Are Ambitions tour. Taka’s voice is just incredible with just an intimate setting. His voice is the most beautiful in that version of the song. I know you will love it.
As some Sidenotes, as far as I know: This performance was in honor of Chester Bennington, who was a model for Taka. Which is probably one of the reasons for the moment of silence. It is said that the two Bands even had plans to work together. Chesters death hid Taka really hard. This also explains why he was so extremly emotinal during this performance. Secondly the concert has startet later then originaly planned, because Taka was sick on that day. Nevertheless he didn't want to disapoint the Fans and still perfomed while sick and what at a performance if i may say so.
One Ok Rock's song mostly have deep messages, but some of them was written in japanese, so you need to search for the translations. These are some of my recommendations of OOR LIVE performances which mostly in english: - Stand Out Fit In (orchestra 2018) - I Was King (orchestra 2018) - Wasted Nights (Eye of The Storm tour 2020)
Heartwarming acoustic - Wherever You Are (ambitions 2017) --> it's perfect for wedding and married couple - A Thousand Miles-Vanessa Carlton covered by OOR (Yokohama 2014)
Heavy stuff with crazy explosive energy🔥 - Mighty Long Fall (Yokohama stadium 2014) - One by One (Saitama Super Arena 2015)
Congrats! You’re the first ones who didn’t complain that the first few verses weren’t in English - you just listened. 😂 It’s a beautiful song and Taka sings it beautifully.
Great reaction and I love OOR, too. I would recommend "Stand Out Fit In" music video first, then live version. Also, the 18Fes version of "We Are" is phenomenal. They sing with 1000 18 year old kids and it hits so hard!
