ONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese rock band formed in 2005, known for their blend of pop punk, alternative rock, and post-hardcore elements. The band consists of four members: Taka (lead vocals), Toru (guitar and backing vocals), Ryota (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Tomoya (drums). They gained popularity for their energetic performances and emotionally resonant lyrics, often sung in both Japanese and English. The name “ONE OK ROCK” is derived from the phrase “one o’clock,” which was chosen to reflect the band’s late-night rehearsal schedule and its association with youth culture and the rock music scene. The band has released numerous albums and has a significant fanbase, both in Japan and internationally, contributing to the global spread of Japanese rock music.
