Featured Japanese Band : One Ok Rock (In the Spirit of Rurouni Kenshin)

In the spirit of the very inspiring and awesome movie, Rurouni Kenshin Live Action now showing on all SM Cinemas we would like to present to you a Japanese band which is behind the song, "THE BEGINNING".  The Beginning is featured in the official soundtrack of the movie and is the latest single from ONE OK ROCK!

ONE OK ROCK is one of the most promising rock artists in Asia according to latest reviews.  Their previous singles had entered the Oricon charts and their songs are quite popular.  This Japanese rock band is formed in 2005 and is composed of Taka, Toru, Ryota and Tomoya.

The band's name, One Ok Rock is inspired by the English term "one o'clock."  This is also the time that the band used to practice on weekends.  Since they wanted to be remembered for that and also for being a rock band their transformed it into a term which we all know is typical of Japanese for "r" and "l".

One Ok Rock's first dounle A-side single was "Re:make/No Scared" on July 20, 2011 which then became the main theme for Black Rock Shooted: The Game.  Their latest single no doubt, "The Beginning" was used as the main theme for the live action adaptation of the epic anime and manga, Rurouni Kenshin.  The single was released on August 22, 2012.



ONE OK ROCK - The Beginning lyrics

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..
