ONE OK ROCK’s classic and recommended popular songs

Tiny PiecesONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK – Tiny Pieces [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]

Speaking of ONE OK ROCK, they’re also known for having many songs with English lyrics.

English lyrics can often seem intimidating, but that’s not the case with “Tiny Pieces.” While the vocal range is fairly wide—from mid1F to hiD—the song features very few long sustained notes.

The high notes are also momentary, so the chance of going off-pitch after a high phrase is relatively low.

That said, shouts appear as a matter of course, and the vocal lines sometimes change more like ad-libs than standard melodic movements, so a certain amount of practice will still be necessary.

It’s an instrumental track featured as the first song on 3xxxv5, which served as their debut album overseas as well as in Japan.

They often open their albums with an instrumental, and since this was released as an international version, it’s just incredibly cool.

The drums resonate all the way to your heart and give you goosebumps.

On the album, there’s also a whisper that can be interpreted as vocalist TAKA’s thoughts on breaking into the overseas market.

Keep IT RealONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK – Keep IT Real

The lead track from their second mini album.

It was their last CD from their indie days.

The members’ average age at the time of release was just 18.

Their songwriting ability at such a young age is impressive.

Many early ONE OK ROCK songs were directed at adults and societal norms, and this track is one of them.
