ONE OK ROCK Live in Bangkok, Thailand (This is not a live report)

ONE OK ROCK Live in Bangkok, Thailand (This is not a live report)
24 November 2013 at 00:18






No. I won't tell you the flow of One Ok Rock's concert in Thailand. Not even the set list. I won't tell you how the fans lined up patiently from 2 to 6pm before the start of the concert. I won't tell you about the new friendships we made during our stay in Thailand. I won't tell you what words we signed at the tarpaulin prepared by Thai fans for One Ok Rock. 

What happened there was almost similar to what happened in other countries that were lucky enough to witness the band's amazing live performance with only a bit difference in terms of the special gifts / items being thrown at the stage. For example, in Thailand, a Muay Thai boxer shorts with Toru's name was thrown at the stage and fans were able to see Ryota's sexy naked abs. Things like that. 

I won't explain to you guys how we fans were jumping like kangaroos and screaming our hearts out while singing almost all the songs with Taka. I won't tell you how much we fervently wanted to catch Tomoya's drumsticks, Toru's guitar pick as well as Taka, Ryota and Toru's water bottles. By the way, I won't tell you how much we wanted to especially catch Toru's water bottle because he drank his water first before throwing it to the audience. I won't even tell you how much we love to pinch Tomoya's cute naked (a bit flabby) abs. No, I won't tell you that, my dear friends.

It was all a dream. 

But, when we first heard the soft strumming of Toru's guitar and felt the vibrations of Ryota's bass and Tomoya's drums like a heartbeat, I suddenly woke up from that dream as if thunder and lightning struck me. I felt my salty tears trickled down my sweaty cheeks. 

This is what I wish to tell all of you — the dream, our dream of watching One Ok Rock's performance in person — turned into a reality. 

One Ok Rock was there at the stage. Flesh and blood. 

Taka holding the red mic and pouring out all of his emotions while singing;Ryota in his naked glory, jumping, turning and singing while playing his bad ass bass guitar; Tomoya and his smiling almond-shaped eyes, intensely beating his drums as if it was his last performance here on earth, and Toru, in all his pointless handsomeness, switching from one guitar to another for various songs(he used I think 5 guitars that day) and doing his routine like a real pro — turning like a whirlwind and air kicking while amazingly strumming his electric guitar… 

Nope. It wasn't a dream alright.
