Week: Bruh... I don't even know anymore. (It's been awhile)

Okay I don't care if you listen to 5SOS or PTV but you have to check out this band ONE OK ROCK. They sound amazing!

Quick Bio:

Lead vocalist TAKA is a former member of the Johnny's Jimusho idol group NEWS. Members Toru and Ryota are former members of the rapping break dancing group HEADS.

The band started when Toru, Alex and Ryota started it in high school. Shortly after the creation of the band Taka joined the group as the main vocals.

The band's name, One Ok Rock, comes from "one o'clock", the time that the band used to practice on weekends. However, noticing that the Japanese language made no distinction between r's and l's, they changed "o'clock" to "o'crock" (or "o'krock"), which was then separated to become "ok rock".

This band has become increasingly popular. Topping international charts and even playing this year's warped tour. (Although they didn't play the date I went too sadly.)

Just give me a reason

To keep my heart beating

Don't worry it's safe right here in my arms

As the world falls apart around us

All we can do is hold on, hold on

Take my hand

And bring me back

I risk everything if it's for you

I whisper into the night

Telling me it's not my time and don't give up

I've never stood up before this time

Demo yuzurenai mono itta kono te wo hanasanai

So stand up, stand up (Just gotta keep on running)

Wake up, wake up (Just tell me how I can)

Never give up

Kuru wa shimi hodo setsunai

Just tell me why baby

They might call me crazy

For saying I'd fight until there is no more

Fureri wo fukunda senkougankou wa kankakiteki shoudou

Blinded, I can't see the end

So where do I begin?

Say another word, I can't hear you

The silence between us

Nanimo nai you ni utsuteru dake

I take this chance that I make you mine

Tada kakusenai mono kattate yori misekakete

So stand up, stand up (Just gotta keep on running)

Wake up, wake up (Just tell me how I can)

Never give up

Kanashimi to setsunasa

Just give me a reason

To keep my heart beating

Don't worry it's safe right here in my arms

Kudaketenaide saite jita kono omoi wa

So blinded I can't see the end

Look how far we made it

The pain I can't escape it

Kono mamajya mada owarase koto wa dekinai deshou

Nando kutabarisou demo kuchi

hateyou tomo owariwanaisa

So where do I begin?

Nigirishimeta ushinawanu youni to

Te wo hirogereba koboreochisou de

Ushinau mono nado nakatta hibino dasei wo sutete…kimi wo

Just tell me why baby

They might call me crazy

For saying I'd fight until there is no more

Fureri ukanda senkougankou wa

kangakiteki shoudou

Blinded, I can't see the end

Look how far we made it

The pain I can't escape it

Kono mamajya mada owaraseru koto

wa dekinai deshou

Nando kutabarisou demo kuchi

hateyou tomo owariwanaisa

It finally begins..
