Ketsuraku Automation – One OK Rock [Eng sub + with lyrics]

Although ONE OK ROCK has many songs with English lyrics, this track is in Japanese, making it easier to understand the meaning.

It’s a song I want people to listen to with a focus on the lyrics.

The opening intro also uses sounds you don’t often hear in bands, which is great!

Released in 2018, it was featured in the HondaJet commercial “Go, Vantage Point.” It’s a very cool track that sings about a forward-looking drive to seek the force that keeps us moving ahead, and an ever-evolving ambition for self-improvement.

I definitely want people who want to change and push themselves to give it a listen.

ONE OK ROCK – The Beginning [Official Music Video]

This is the seventh single by the four-piece rock band ONE OK ROCK, chosen as the theme song for the film Rurouni Kenshin.

The vocals laid over palm-muted guitar and piano create a lyrical atmosphere, and the arrangement builds from there into an intense rock sound that really amps up the tension.

The tight drum beats and the presence of the bassline produce a sound that could be said to embody the timeless cool of rock.

As the title suggests, it’s a modern rock number that lifts your spirits as background music when you’re about to start something new.

20 years oldONE OK ROCK

20 years old

While incorporating elements of Western music, the riffs retain a distinctly Japanese rock flavor, creating a work where Japanese and Western contrasts intermingle: “20 years old.” With a range of mid1 G to hi D#, the vocal span is quite narrow for a ONE OK ROCK song.

However, more than the limited range, what truly enhances singability is the chorus’s vocal line.

In rock, it’s standard to ramp the voltage to the max in the chorus, but here the chorus is kept remarkably restrained.

In fact, there are no long sustained notes and no shouts.

It doesn’t require flashy techniques, and the range is narrow, so it’s undoubtedly an easy song to sing.

Clock StrikesONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK – Clock Strikes [Official Music Video]

This is a song released in 2013.

Compared to their previous tracks, it has a relatively laid-back tempo and at first glance seems easy to sing.

However, because it’s sung more slowly, the English pronunciation and vocal delivery really stand out.

The pronunciation is quite natively nuanced and fairly challenging.

Also, in this song’s music video, you can fully enjoy TAKA’s singing and the band members’ performances.

ONE OK ROCK 「Re:make」

This is a song released in 2011.

He debuted with the status of being enka singer Shinichi Mori’s son and a former Johnny’s member.

From the beginning, his vocal ability and English proficiency were highly praised, and he has successfully performed many live shows overseas.

We can expect much more from them in the future.

Delusion:AllONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK – Delusion:All [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A powerful song that sharply tackles social issues.

Born as the theme song for the film “Kingdom: The Return of the General,” this track stands out with themes of division, freedom, and sacrifice.

Combined with ONE OK ROCK’s signature, hard-hitting sound, it resonates deeply with listeners.

Released in July 2024, it strongly reflects elements of post-hardcore and alternative rock.

Highly recommended for those who question modern society or want to stay true to their convictions—this song is sure to give you a push forward!
