OKAMOTO’S 『ROCKY』MUSIC VIDEO(Short Ver.)

In contrast to its positive, classic-style chorus, the song unfolds with heavy, gritty A and B verses—an approach that could be called The Okamotos’ signature, executed beautifully here.

Their skillful switch-ups, packing completely opposite elements into a single track and connecting them seamlessly, are nothing short of astonishing.

OKAMOTO’S is a four-piece rock band formed by classmates from their junior-high days, featuring Hama Okamoto—the bassist and son of Downtown’s Masatoshi Hamada.

Their digital-only single “Rock n’ Roll Star (feat.

ROY),” released on June 21, 2023, drew attention for featuring ROY from THE BAWDIES.

The bassline, which gives the entire track a sense of speed, is striking, and the dynamic push-and-pull in the playing is sure to catch the ear of rock fans.

It’s a stylish number whose groovy bass performance adds vibrant color to the whole song.

Run Chicken RunOKAMOTO’S32rank/position

Link Wray – Run Chicken Run

This is another track that brings OKAMOTO’S early momentum to the forefront.

The rough-hewn guitar riff is packed tightly with dense bass lines.

It generates a groove so strong it’s hard to believe only three people are playing, making it the track that best shows why they’re praised as a live band.

Did the title Run Run Run make many of you think of Lou Reed’s song? Even though the titles are the same, the vibe is completely different—just like the phrase Run Run Run suggests, this one is full-throttle and fast-paced.

While Lou Reed’s Run Run Run is slow-tempo, theirs is up-tempo.

I’m in awe of how they weave influences from overseas legends throughout their work!

OKAMOTO’S – Sing A Song Together [Official Music Video Short Ver.]

This is a song with a really satisfying chord progression in the chorus! While OKAMOTO’S usually shows strong influences from Western music, this track feels more inspired by Japanese rock bands like Unicorn.

Within a mid-tempo groove, they’ve inserted a catchy chorus that appeals to a wide range of generations.

The fact that people of various ages appear in the music video also hints at the message they’re trying to convey.

TOMMY? / OKAMOTO’S

You can feel the homage to The Who in this work.

As a modern-day TOMMY, it portrays the despair and isolation born from losing keys, phones, and wallets.

Included on the album OPERA, released in September 2015, it’s an ambitious piece that opened up a new frontier for OKAMOTO’S.

This track fuses a grand, rock-opera-inspired worldview with the uniquely energetic performance only a band can deliver.

The lyrics sharply call out issues in contemporary society through everyday, trivial events—another highlight.

For those feeling alienated or lonely, this song may offer empathy and courage.

Packed with the essence of OKAMOTO’S, this work is sure to make you fall under their spell!
