They've performed in Germany and Britain in fairly prominent music festivals
I think they've opened for Lady Gaga and Metallica

about two years ago (Gimme Choco).

They were something really refreshing to my ears ... and I was never much of a metal fan, unless you consider my teens listening to Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple (back when they first came out) as being 'metal'.

Now I'm a big fan, and even better, because of them I started checking out other Japanese bands and now I have a list of new fresh bands that have renewed my interest in Mmusic.

One OK Rock

One OK Rock

Band name comes from how the Japanese band members pronounced "one O'Clock', which is the time they used to have for a rented practice hall.

ONE OK ROCK - Clock Strikes




ONE OK ROCK - Clock Strikes (Live version)


ONE OK ROCK - Heartache [Studio Jam Session]


Another Music Video vs Live comparison

ONE OK ROCK - Mighty Long Fall (MV)


ONE OK ROCK - Mighty Long Fall (Live)



And just for fun, a collaboration between Taka (llead singer of One OK Rock) and Simple Plan : SUMMER PARADISE

Love Japanese concerts, the audience is almost as interesting as the bands.

Just love their energy, and the way the two lead singers voices seem to play off each other so well.

Hello Sleepwalkers「午夜の待ち合わせ」



神話崩壊 / Hello Sleepwalkers


Hello Sleepwalkers「Ray of Sunlight」


Hello Sleepwalkers「猿は木から何処へ落ちる」

A song by the original vocaloid sensation Hatsune Miku Senbonzakura

The vocoloid hologram version



Then there is the Wagakki Band version Which I believe someone else has already posted



Which then leads us to the various covers on different instruments (she goes crazy near the end and does everything but play the thing behind her back .. crazy)



Four guitars one guy version



The Marasay version (I think this is either the original author of the song, bu tnot positive.)
