Information
The group came up with the name ONE OK ROCK because they would book studio time at One o'clock. The Japanese pronunciation of ONE OK ROCK (ワンオクロック) is wanokurokku which sounds like One o'clock.
In summer 2005, Toru with High School friends Alex and Ryota started the band. It started after each of them got their musical instruments. After that TAKA joined and they focused on performing lives in the Tokyo area.
In 2006 they independently released 2 mini albums. Because their albums sales, their participation at festivals that summer and their energetic lives in the outskirts of Tokyo, were noticed by a foreign record company. At their first One-Man Live done at LOFT in Shinjuku 500 people attended.
In March 2007 Tomoya officially joined the group and the 5 person group made their major debut by releasing their first single "Naihi Shinsho" on April 25th.
In April 2009, Alex was arrested due to sexual harassment, causing the cancel of the band upcoming single "Around the world Shounen" and it drama tie-in along with their 2009 tour.
Following the announcement of the scandal involving guitarist Alex and consequently the cancellation of all ONE OK ROCK activities, the band recently revealed through their official website that Alex is officially no longer a part of the band. After discussions regarding the future of the band, the four remaining members decided that Alex's departure would be the best thing to do to keep the band alive. From now on, ONE OK ROCK will continue as a four-piece group.
The band started a new tour, on September 5, named "Overcome Emotion". On November 26, the band announced on their website the release of their new and fourth single, "Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer".
