Even my English is not as good as Taka's. He's amazing.
Nothing to say other than I love Taka's English. Unlike a lot of Japanese people I know who say they want to learn English but are afraid of making mistakes so they never actually try, Taka has no such fear. Even if his English isn't perfect, it works because he just keeps on talking without making any weird, long pauses. The conversation is always flowing and I think that's key.
Looking forward to whatever ONE OK ROCK has in store for us. Can't wait to see them again in July!
Where are they going to be in July, in which country? And I totally agree with you about his English!! ;)

you know ive been following taka since 2015 and his english is improving greatly
@@alphonsuskevinimmanuel4676 Yesss, for sure. Taka said when he was invited to work on the Japanese version of Simple Plan's Summer Paradise in 2013, he felt super frustrated that he couldn't communicate with the Canadian band. So he worked hard to improve his English! Actually so inspiring for my own language learning, except I'm trying to start learning Japanese again!
Taka "u know" moriuchi 😂
Love him so much
Such a wonderful person Taka is! Very positive, confident, honest, no impression of arrogance whatsoever, considering he's very talented in many ways ♥️😍
I think one of Taka's power is: as a japanese singer singing in english with no accent and singing in japanese with english accent. His english is improved and sounds like native.
Taka: I want what I want. I want to try a new thing, Make different thing.
New song , new things , new genre , back and forth to rock to pop, and pop to rock. and now they can do any song in different genre. That is super talented
Taka, the purest person i've ever seen. my heart---
I'm back here in 2021 waiting for renegades 😍😍
OOR with a "new style" but still the same feeling,I love them,I love the old songs and I'm enjoying this new songs...it's ....One Ok Rock ♥️
I really love Taka’s english. He just speaks like a native and that’s amazing. 本当に素晴らしい！！♥️✨ love from Indonesia ✨
日本🇯🇵の大ファンです💐
ありがとうございます😭🤲🤲🤲🤲👍👍👍👍👍
I've been listening to ONE OK ROCK since 2010, started with hearing "NO SCARED" randomly on CZcams, then "じぶんROCK", "RE:MAKE", "完全感覚Dreamer", etc...Saw the LIVE footages of Budokan and became a fan. I saw them grow in Asia(I'm from Taiwan), but they grew REALLY FAST over the past 3 years in the Western countries, BUT THEIR GROWTH OF FAME STILL MAINLY IN JAPAN. To be honest I think the main problem they need to solve NOW is NEVER JUST THE CHANGE OF THE STYLE, but to USE MORE MEDIA OVERSEAS TO LET THE FANS OVERSEAS KNOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE. I mean they have to show people THEIR AMBITIONS IN OTHER LANGUAGES, like those interviews they had in JAPAN. I'm fine with the change of styles, they're ALWAYS a band like scientists inside a laboratory. What makes ONE OK ROCK my favorite band is that they DARE TO TAKE RISKS TO TRY NEW THINGS, achieving their goals NO MATTER HOW. Still, I gotta say they have to keep the OLD FANS stay, and LETTING THEM KNOW WHY, WHAT AND HOW THEY'RE DOING is the ONLY WAY for them be like REAL BIG.
THIS IS WHAT IMMA BOUT TO SAY
Taka has said that the band is selfish because they make the music for themselves. They know some older fans do not like the new sound but they want to move forward and try new things. I admire their courage in doing what they want to do and from when the band began in 2005, they always wanted to go beyond Japan. I think if more people outside of Japan heard their music, they would love them too so they need to be heard more. I only found them last year but loved them so much that I bought all of their CDs and DVDs. Heaven to watch them perform. They are the best!
Taka, rock isn't dead. Don't give up with world. Your rock style is a great thing I've ever seen. Bassist guitarist and drummer are perfect. I hope you keep stay with your old style and mix and match with new different colors you've tried in your album. Like you said, one ok rock still rock band. I'm happy to hear that. You know, i maybe we (old fans) love your screaming. I rock because you guys. I proud of you guys, i proud can listen rock that you brought. Please, don't give up with world. You grow up, improve life. And I still wait for new things from you guys. I love guitarist, bassist and drummer. (sorry, i hope you can catch my mean. My English is bad)
Its ok.. we understand what u mean, and i also love this band.. The drummer is epic!! Taka's voice is heavenly!! Toru and Ryota, 😍 they play the guitar so good!!
it's hard you know. Unless OOR's old fans are as loud as BTS fans, then no need to change their music style. Heck even BTS changed their sound to be more radio-friendly. The reason I compare these two because they're actually similar, they bring good messages in their songs and they came from asian background. Both of them got popular really fast within their respected hometown because of their music & the image they brought. OOR doesn't have the advantage like BTS because their audience target are completely different.
I know reason why taka change their style. Not about too much thing. Especially, The producer is different. Wkwk don't compare oor with bts, i like bts, but i hate army. Don't compare bts if you talking about oor with me. Hahaha and oor are getting old, they might be tired for screaming or jumping or moshing on the next years. Taka, ryouta, toru, tomo, in the ambitions interview talking about performance, healthy, etc.
@@panggilapinmiaw4304 it will be easier to make conversation if there's no personal feelings about certain fandom, i was talking about base facts just like how journalist would do. True, i know they want to slow down once they reached 30, but you must be fooling yourself if you think Taka doesn't want to be more famous in the west. He would do anything to reach his goal, and in this era it can only be done if they switch gears. Rock is not popular nowadays, but edm is. To reach broader audience, is only through mainstream media. They can't do that if they stay in the same genre like years ago, unless, i repeat, they have a solid and crazy fanbase who will keep supporting and hyping then. Eventually BTS makes similar sounds like any other Kpop (maybe with higher quality) but Armys are the one made it happen.
I don't like army. I don't like them. Stop comparing them. But, i agree with your opinions. Once again, i don't like army. Shut up talking about bts. I know bts too.
Taka looks so happy and excited about everything, it’s really great to see :’) I hope OOR can achieve everything they want to do, I love all their albums and I think their change in styles makes them more diverse music wise~
Taka has made such an exponential improvement as to English and music as well👏
Taka is right to try new and it's a natural progression for a band specially to these four talented people.
Taka is ♥️ forever
Love your new album! hope you continue to collaborate with other artists too!
Love you Takaa ❤
Waiting 😭😭❤️❤️

確かに英語を勉強すればする程理解しにくくなると思います。
英語に対する反応スピードは早くなってきてますが、文法や語順がずっとめちゃくちゃですので、ネイティブ達はニュアンスで彼の言っていることを理解している感じですね。
Whitest Black ほんとですか？？
If they released the Ed Sheehan song, they’d blow up. Then they can go back to make rock songs again
And they did
The song is called Renegades
What? Did I hear that right? Steve Aoki didn't like Taka's singing???
Ok. I totally caved. Promised myself never to post comments ever again. Coz I'm totally lame and dumb. Don't get likes either. Haha. Sorry.
But been dying to mention about that for so long since this interview came out.
And you're right. Aww...well...
Would've thought that Taka at least could impress anyone with his "singing" (well almost I guess).
I wonder what’s up with that tbh
@@marielang9474
👊 After 1 year? Got this reply. Hihi 🤗. Actually forgot i left this comment.
Ikr. Yea... like Steve Aoki collaborated with so many artists. Diverse. From all over. Thought it would've been great if he worked with them. Hmm...😔

so its true? sb19's josh really sounds like him!
I think taka's voice is kinda weird now.. Not same like 3 years ago or 5 years ago
his english really improves and he could act weird now unlike back then.
@@ryanarnaiz2526 I'm not talking bout his grammar or pronunciation... But the tone of his voice
@@Nakaberil When you've been singing for years and years. The tone of your voice will change post puberty(more prevelent in male singers.)
Thw same thing happened to me aswell. Hahaha
I saw OOR on stage two days ago and his singing voice is still the same. I think his voice is just exhausted, these guys have basically been touring nonstop, in Asia, in the US, now in Europe, in July back in the US, then they're going back to tour in Japan from September through til January.. I think his voice is just in desperate need of a break. I honestly have no clue how they do it all, especially Tomo and Ryota with their families.
