Only one more performance left on the North American leg of the Eye of the Storm Tour! It looks like the boys are having fun in Hawaii. It’s too bad my business trip to Hawaii is the week after… Oh, what could have been.
I’ve added a report of my VIP experience in Vancouver.
3.11: Be the light
Today marks the 8th anniversary of the Tohoku earthquake. It happens to be the first anniversary of this website as well, and it’s a total coincidence but the first song I added to this site was also Be the light. I had selected the song simply because I had the Jinsei x Boku = album in front of me and I wanted a song that had only English lyrics so I could quickly type it up and test the look of the site. It was after I began tinkering with the settings and added a hit counter that I realized what date it was. Funny how things work out…
In commemoration of the website’s first anniversary, I’ve put up a translation of an interview with ONE OK ROCK’s manager Yoshitaka Goto. It was published nearly two years ago but I think it has some interesting information. Read the translation here.
The Eye of the Storm North American Tour is in full swing and we’re already halfway through! I saw them in Denver last month and they were amazing, even though the set list left a bit to be desired considering they only played half the songs off the new album. Still, it was great fun and I look forward to seeing them again in Vancouver (VIPPPPP)!
Today I’ve got another interview for you guys, this time with Wasted Nights MV director Kyle Cogan. Kyle was so kind to take time out of his very busy schedule to answer my questions. Check it out here!
New album, new photo of my collection! The front page has been updated with a new photo.
Yesterday, Ed Sheeran posted about ONE OK ROCK opening for his tour in Asia, to which late night host Jimmy Fallon responded, “Come to New York. Come on. One song?” He was obviously talking to Ed, but that didn’t stop Taka from replying to Jimmy, telling him to contact him whenever he wants, haha. Inspired by this, I decided to create a Change.org petition to get ONE OK ROCK invited as guests on The Tonight Show. I posted about it on my IG and Taka–the Taka–actually liked the post! Yeah, I lost a lot of sleep because of that, haha.
Anyway, please go sign the petition and help spread the word about it on social media! These boys deserve the opportunity to show off their talents in front of a national audience.
Lyrics for the international version of Eye of the Storm are now up on the website! You can find them over here!
Also, yesterday ONE OK ROCK announced that they will be special guests on Ed Sheeran’s Asia Tour, and today they announced their European Tour for May! Go check them out if they’re playing at a location near you! FYI, Taka has mentioned on the radio several times that their Japan Tour will be in the fall.
Eye of the Storm has been released!! All lyrics and translations for the Japanese release can be found here. There may be some tweaks made to the translations within the coming days.
Just a few more days until the release of Eye of the Storm! From February 9 until the 11th, the album’s cover art by JonOne is being displayed at the “One Museum” at Omotesando. I went the first day and have written up a report here. So excited for EotS!
The site’s gotten a face lift with new colors inspired by the band’s current artist photo! How does it look? Pretty slick, huh?
If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the incredible orchestra version of Stand Out Fit In! There’s less than a month left until the release of Eye of the Storm. HYPE!!!!
Happy new year, everyone! With Eye of the Storm releasing in mid-February and a North American tour already announced, it’s going to be a great year for OORers!
2019 is kicking off the right way here at the ONE OK ROCK Lyrics Repository! Last week was an interview with director Peter Huang, and today I’ve got for you an interview with the star of the Stand Out Fit In music video, Steven Chau! Check it out here!
Merry Christmas!! Got a real treat for you guys today.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Peter Huang, the director of the Stand Out Fit In music video! Huge thanks to him for taking the time to answer my questions. Check out his responses here! The interview is available in English and I’ve also translated it into Japanese.
Hope you like my Christmas present! Perhaps there is still more to come…? ^_~
