Best of One Ok Rock

The Best of ONE OK ROCK

One OK Rock, is a Japanese Rock Band, formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2005. The band currently consists of Takahiro Moriuchi, Toru Yamashita, Ryota Kohama, and Tomoya Kanki. They play many different styles of music, with songs ranging from alternative rock and emo to post-hardcore and pop rock. Their experiment with US Style Pop-Rock mix has been quite successful.

One Ok Rock has released 9 Studio Albums, 2 EPs, 22 Singles, 12 Video Albums, 6 Cover Versions, and 32 Music Videos. Their 3 Studio Albums have peaked at #1 on Oricon Japanese Charts as well as 3 Gold and 5 Platinum Certifications by RIAJ.

I personally noticed the band after hearing their song "Mighty Long Fall" from the album 35xxxv which played during the end credits of live action movie adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin - Kyoto Inferno. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 & Oricon Japanese Charts. Similarly, "The Beginning" was used in Rurouni Kenshin and "Heartache" in Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends.
