ONE OK ROCK – Heartache [Studio Jam Session]

A beautiful, ephemeral heartbreak song from ONE OK ROCK.

The lyrics dwell relentlessly on lingering feelings for a past lover, and just reading them makes your chest tighten.

Taka’s heartbreakingly poignant voice, which spins such straightforward love, seeps deeper and deeper into our hearts as listeners.

The lyrics blend English and Japanese, so try parsing not only the Japanese parts but the English ones as well.

Precisely because they usually play intense rock numbers, a gentle, relaxed song like this also comes across as deeply compelling.

We AreONE OK ROCK7rank/position

ONE OK ROCK: We Are [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

It seems like ONE OK ROCK’s “We Are” would really hype up the atmosphere if it played at the end of a school sports day.

Taka’s powerful, passionate vocals make it a song that encourages and pushes forward the kids who gave their all in the events throughout the day.

I think playing it at the very end, as everyone files out after all the events are finished, would truly resonate with children who kept trying without giving up.

It’s a highly recommended song that can bring teachers, students, and the whole venue together as one.

ONE OK ROCK 「Re:make」

The classic song “Re:make,” released as ONE OK ROCK’s sixth single.

While ONE OK ROCK now showcases a wide range of musical styles, back then their sound was characterized by straight-ahead rock with touches of emo and hardcore.

This track falls into the latter category, featuring intense shouts in the chorus.

Although the range is fairly broad (mid1 B to hi B), the highest notes can be handled with a shouty mixed voice, so delicate vocals aren’t required.

The low notes only appear in a few spots, so it often feels narrower than the actual range.

However, there isn’t much room to lower the key, so the most important thing is to accurately identify your own optimal key.
