ONE OK ROCK’s World Tour Kicks Off:”Conquering the Globe” is No Longer a Dream

Celebrating 20 Years: A World Tour and Global Conquest

Even after the members left the stage, the excitement in the venue lingered, with voices calling for an encore transforming into a singalong of the intro to “Answer Is Near.” Shortly after, the four members of ONE OK ROCK returned to the stage. They performed a total of three songs, including the surprise debut of an unreleased new track, “Let’s Take It Someday,” alongside “Wasted Nights.” Whether it was the new song or a familiar anthem, the audience’s energy showed no signs of diminishing, reflected in the height of their raised fists throughout the set. As “Wasted Nights” drew to a close, a stunning display of fireworks erupted, as if sending off a band about to embark on a world tour, signaling the end of the opening show. After each member waved to the audience as they left the stage, Taka, the last to remain, confidently stated, “Stay tuned for the upcoing album.”

With Oasis’s reunion tour on the horizon for 2025, it looks set to be another year where rock music takes center stage. In Japan, as this momentous year approaches, we have ONE OK ROCK, a band celebrating its 20th anniversary and dedicated to the mission of conquering the world with their ever-evolving sound.

The tour title “Premonition” carries a powerful sense of something imminent, hinting at a restless energy beneath the surface. ONE OK ROCK, with their global presence, surely understands the weight of the word. As they launch their world tour and prepare to release a new album, the band is charging ahead, and it’s impossible not to anticipate their next bold move on the international stage.
