ONE OK ROCK is a band that has gained a huge following thanks to their unique and powerful musical style, as well as their ability to connect with their listeners. Originating from Tokyo, Japan, the band is made up of four talented members; Taka on vocals, Toru on guitar, Ryota on bass, and Tomoya on drums.
The band’s journey began in 2005 when Toru Yamashita, after the disbandment of his hip-hop group HEADS, decided to start a rock band. He reached out to his childhood friend and former HEADS member, Ryota Kohama, to learn the bass and asked their upperclassman, Alex Onizawa, to join as their lead guitarist. Yû Koyanagi was recruited to play the drums, and the final piece of the puzzle was finding a vocalist.
Despite initial rejection, the band managed to convince Takahiro Moriuchi, who was performing with another local band called Chivalry of Music, to join as their vocalist. Once all the pieces were in place, ONE OK ROCK started recording indie releases which quickly attracted the attention of a major record label. Just two years later, the band was ready to release their debut album.
Since then, ONE OK ROCK has enjoyed a successful career that has spanned over a decade. They have become one of Japan’s biggest and most successful international bands, known for their high-energy performances and electrifying music.
The band’s name is derived from their practice schedule which took place every day at one o’clock in the afternoon. It is a testament to their dedication and hard work that they have achieved such enormous success, despite the many trials and tribulations they have faced along the way.
Due to a scandal former bandmate Alex Onizawa was embroiled in, he decided to leave the band. In addition to that, the band’s original drummer Yû Koyanagi, quit the band to pursue an acting career and since he was only a member of ONE OK ROCK for a short period of time, the Japanese drummer never performed in any studio albums. Thus, Tomoya later replaced him during the recording of the band’s debut album.
Despite parting ways with the band, Yû remained close friends with all of the members and is often seen hanging out with them. Just like the members of ONE OK ROCK, Yû Koyanagi was able to have a successful acting career. He is well known for portraying Yasutora Sado, also known as Chad in the live-action adaptation of Bleach and Makoto Sugihara in Crows Zero.
Each of the band members has their unique story and background, which adds to the band’s dynamic and captivating presence. Toru is the guitarist and leader of the band, while Taka is the lead vocalist and lyricist who has been known for his powerful and expressive performances. Ryota is the bassist who brings massive stage presence to the performances, while Tomoya is the drummer who provides the core component of the band’s releases with his powerful hits.
Despite their differences, the band members work together as a team to create amazing music and performances that have continued to captivate fans worldwide. Their journey to the top is a testament to their perseverance, hard work, and dedication to their craft, and their success is a reflection of the passion and energy that they pour into their music.
