'''One Ok Rock''' (stylized as '''ONE OK ROCK''') is a [[Japan]]ese rock band formed in 2005, composed of four members: [[Takahiro Morita|Taka]], Toru, Ryota, and Tomoya. They originally consisted of fifth member, Alex, but he has left the group since.


== Information ==
The band had various singles that entered the [[Oricon]] charts, catapulting them as one of the most promising artists in the [[Japanese rock]] scene. They have released four albums as of 2010, and with the success of their latest album ''[[Niche Syndrome]]'' they solidified their [[J-rock]] status in Japan and across the globe.
There has been many rumors circulating to whenever he actually left the agency on his own will or if he got kicked out thanks to him being issued in a tabloid magazine with a woman. The official news that went out was that he wanted to "focus on his studies".<ref name="dailysports">{{cite web|url=http://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2007/03/09/0000265474.shtml|title=森進一長男Takaがメジャーデビュー|language=Japanese|work=Daily Sports Online|publisher=[[Kobe Shimbun]]|date=March 10, 2007|accessdate=February 20, 2011|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20070312114841/http://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2007/03/09/0000265474.shtml|archivedate=March 12, 2007}}</ref> However in this agency there's a strictly no dating policy.

In 2005, he changed his last name from Moriuchi (森内) to Morita (森田).<ref name="dailysports" />
==History==
The foundation for ''One Ok Rock'' began when Toru Yamashita, then a high school student, wanted to start a band. Toru told his friend Ryota Kohama, who had been a fellow member of [[hip hop]] dance group, Heads, to learn the Bass and asked Alex to join. After seeing Taka, a vocalist, perform in a cover band, Toru saw him as the best possible candidate for a vocalist in their band, and insisted that he join. Tomoya, the last member to join, joined One Ok Rock as a drummer in 2007.<ref name="Jame Interview">{{cite web | url=http://www.jame-world.com/uk/articles-4982-interview-with-one-ok-rock-in-tokyo.html| title=Interview with One Ok Rock in Tokyo| accessdate=2008-12-14}}</ref> Tomoya had played with the band on all their albums but only became an official member when they debuted.


They released their first Indies CD in 2006 and got signed by [[Amuse, Inc.]] whom they made their major debut with.
The band's name, One Ok Rock, came from "one o'clock," the time that the band used to practice on weekends. However, noticing that the [[Japanese language]] made no distinction between r's and l's, they changed "o'clock" to "o'crock" (or "o'krock") which then was separated to become "ok rock".<ref name="Jame Interview" />


==References==
After Alex left the band in May 2009, the band released the single "[[Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer]]" on February 3, 2010. It was featured 9th in the Weekly [[Oricon]] Charts. They released their fourth studio album titled ''[[Niche Syndrome]]'' on June 9, 2010. Their next single "Answer Is Near" was released on February 16, 2011.
