ONE OK ROCK, a renowned band with over 20 years of global appeal, is launching its first arena tour in the Tri-State area to spotlight political and social issues. Lead vocalist Takahiro Moriuchi asserts the importance of using music to transcend language barriers and connect cultures. Moriuchi emphasizes the need for musicians to amplify voices against discrimination and self-serving political agendas. The band, influenced by notable political rock bands, focuses on creating music that engages with current issues, aiming to resonate as everyday citizens rather than partisans.
"As a musician, I want to say something stronger than before about the state of the world and the situation going on politically... it's time to say something political as a musician."
"I think a person who has a position to say something should speak out their thoughts and share it with others."
ONE OK ROCK is using their platform to speak out against discrimination, believing music can transcend language barriers and connect different cultures."
Drawing influence from bands like Green Day and Rage Against the Machine, we've kept an eye on the political landscape... decisions made in the U.S. reach Japan."
