BIOGRAPHY
ONE OK ROCK was created in the summer of 2005 by Alex (Gu), Ryota (B) and Toru (Vo & Gu). Vocalist Taka joined the band after a short while and they started playing concerts around Tokyo. That December, one of their concerts completely sold out!
ONE OK ROCK was officially put on the market as an indie band in July, 2006. This was also when their first mini-album, ONE OK ROCK, was put up for sale. They started getting a lot of attention and soon they also started selling records in foreign record shops. Their upcoming concerts in September, gathered a lot of fans and in December they released a second mini-album. More than 500 people attended at their first oneman at Shinjuku LOFT, this was great news for the guys since they hadn't been around that long.
After almost two years without a drummer, Tomoya finally joined as their official drummer in March 2007. They released their first single, Naihi Shinsho, with the complete line-up in April 25. This single earned them a few plays on a nationwide radio, which gave them even more fans and also a record deal with the major company AMUSE. Their long awaited second single Yume Yume was released on July 25. In 2007, also their first nationwide tour started in August.
Being a young band as they are, there is still plenty of time for ONE OK ROCK to surprise their fans with more outstanding releases and performances, so be sure to keep an eye on them!
