51. The first live Toru went to was RIZE in 6th grade when he was dancing and RIZE just happened to be at the exact same location (So he went to a free concert at twelve?)
52. Never forgets to take his iPod/Phone along with him during tours
53. 2013 was a rich year for Toru
54. Sees 2013 as a year where they gained affections from the world for ONE OK ROCK
55. Toru found Taka at one of Taka’s live performances in his old cover band in 2004
56. In ONE OK ROCK’s earlier days, Toru would boss the other members around such as telling them how to play their instruments “correctly”
57. The thing about Taka that caught Toru’s attention was Taka’s vocal range because while other guys in the area could only sing in low pitched tones, Taka could sing high pitched tones and the fact that they were the same age helped with Toru’s attentiveness towards Taka (I wish I had his confidence to make friends just like that)
58. After Toru first introduced Taka to Alex, Tomo (their old drummer who dropped out which I’m actually kinda glad because we wouldn’t have Tomoya), and Ryota, the band members got mad at Toru since Taka was rude and moody at the time
59. Once had pink hair (not surprised if he goes with green sometime)
60. When Alex left Toru was the most emotionally stable out of the band
61. Comforted Taka when Alex left after Taka felt like the world was collapsing around him again (That just shows how strong their friendship and I find that beautiful I think everyone deserves a friendship like this)
62. Likes Linkin Park
63. Along with Tomoya, the two did not attend any American interviews during Warped Tour due to their lack of understanding of English
64. Toru is known for not talking as much in ONE OK ROCK and keeping a straight face (thus, the gachapin face)
65. During the beginning of ONE OK ROCK Toru used to walk back home with Ryota from the studio and tell him constantly to break out of his bubble and talk in the studio instead of being so silent
66. Couldn’t speak Mandarin correctly during their Taipei concert
67. Got a perm during their 人生 × 君 = tour (people called it his ramen hair)
68. Usually gets a strawberry cake when ONE OK ROCK celebrates his birthday
69. Made a song called 69 with ONE OK ROCK
70. After their 人生 × 君 = tour Toru’s trademark fruit is a banana due to the random appearances of bananas throughout the film (I made sex jokes everytime it appeared)
71. Coincidentally, a book that Ryota found says that people who are born on September 4th (Ryota’s birthday) and people who are born on December 7th (Toru’s birthday) are people meant to be good friends
72. States that the song Thousand Miles (a cover that ONE OK ROCK did for their Yokohama Stadium live) was a really weird song and that “he had a hard time feeling it with his body” (alright clear your dirty mind, clear the dirty mind)
73. Mentioned that he cried at his brother’s wedding (tears of joy I hope)
74. Usually goes out for a smoke during tours at either a designated spot for smoking or just goes around at random depending on the current situation
75. As surprising as this may sound, Toru didn’t follow Avril Lavigne on Instagram right away, he didn’t follow her until like one month later (could be because of the hair thing)
76. Updates his Instagram the least out of ONE OK ROCK (probably not much of a social media person)
77. In 2012, a fan in Japan stopped Toru just to tell him to update the ONE OK ROCK blog (and he did update the blog)
78. Made a MC during their 人生 × 君 = tour in Yokohama Arena about how his hair stuck up during their 残響リファレンス tour in Yokohama Arena on the previous year (and he also asked if it looked great and it did)
79. Usually during acoustic performances like the Studio Jam Session, Wherever You Are, or Heartache (my favorite so far) he plays his acoustic guitar while Ryota plays his acoustic bass (just incase if people needed that cleared up since the two looks very similar)
80. While Toru does backup vocals for some songs he also provides backup screamo like in songs like NO SCARED (his screamo skills is average)
81. Debated with Ryota on whether or not if he went to the Avril Lavigne concert at a festival with Toru (Ryota claims that he did but Toru says no)
82. Tried to watch the Avril Lavigne concert from the sidelines (like the side of the stage) but the guards pushed him and Tomoya away (and possibly Ryota but who knows)
83. Taka likes to tease Toru about Toru’s fantasy of dating Avril Lavigne and for the fact that Avril Lavigne got married twice to two different vocalists that Toru also really admires (I need to stop with the Toru and Avril Lavigne facts)
84.
85. Got sick during the beginning of their South America tour
86. Toru’s favorite song from 人生 × 僕 = is Ending Story??
87. Still trying to work at getting better with playing the guitar after Alex left since Alex was the lead guitar and Toru was the rhythm guitar (he’s doing pretty well)
88. Along with Taka and Ryota, Toru also likes wearing a fedora from time to time (I’ve never seen Tomoya wear one so somebody correct me if I wrong)
89. During the earlier days of ONE OK ROCK Toru and Ryota lived in the dormitory of Amuse
90. Toru played a part in Takeru and Taka’s friendship by talking to Takeru after ONE OK ROCK’s concerts and letting him in backstage (it’s not a huge part but it helped Taka meet Takeru so I guess maybe it is big, idk I guess that’s something of personal opinion)
91. Back to the earlier days (this is really scrambled up), Toru arranged ONE OK ROCK’s first studio two weeks after he told everyone that they were going to the studio
92. Made Ryota learn bass within two weeks
93. Unlike Taka who seems like he threw away his button up shirts, Toru still wears them
94. Taka, Tomoya, and Ryota often talk about how Toru makes a good leader for ONE OK ROCK
95. Usually in his roles for tv shows, Toru is often casted as the guy who takes pleasure in messing with people, laughs alot, and insane
96. Once when asked what was his favorite body part in 2007 or so, Toru answered nothing (which is really sad but oh well people have their own personal opinions about themselves but that was also a long time ago when he was asked so things could’ve changed)
97. During ONE OK ROCK’s bonus tracks, Toru usually plays a male student or teacher
98. During their first LA concert, Toru and Taka pointed at a seven year old kid that attended their concert
99. Mighty Long Fall was the only music video as of NOV.22.14 that has Toru’s warped tour look.
100. Toru describes himself as somebody who owes a lot to ONE OK ROCK, who is able to experience hardships and happiness due to the band.
THE HISTORY OF ONE OK ROCK
Band Members:
Vocals: Taka Morita- 17.APR.1988/Tokyo (Current Member)
Bass: Ryota Kohama- 4.SEPT.1989/Osaka (Current Member)
Guitarist: Toru Yamamshita- 7.DEC.1988/Osaka (Current Member)

In 1995, Toru Yamashita and Ryota Kohama where in a hip-hop group called, “HEADS”. (Don’t ask my why) They performed along with two other fifth and sixth grade boys and often performed in Shibuya. They participated in many dance competitions and won first place in the majority of them. They often sang together in their songs while breakdancing with Toru being the “rapper of the group”. With a singles coming out and keeping this group alive and active, they took the year 2003 to improve their skills.
Meanwhile in 2001 in October, Takahiro Moriuchi joined Johnny’s Entertainment (A Japanese Music Company) and made his first appearance on TV Asahi’s Music Station. Now okay so you gotta remember, he is the son of Shinichi Mori (Birthname is Kazuhiro Moriuchi, thus the surname of “Moriuchi”) and Masako Mori (Real surname is Morita, thus the surname switch to Takahiro’s name in the future) and they were the leading figures in the music scene in Japan back then so Takahiro was kinda like a Jayden Smith. So anyways the 13-year old child started his career and became a really well-known child. Present-day Taka noted that he was always afraid of his father but his mother was always kind to him (Taka also noted that “he bullied the hell out of his brothers”). Once Takahiro wanted to be a comedian but his dream was laughed at by his dad due to it not having anything to do with his father. In September 2003, Takahiro finally joined Johnny’s new unit, “NEWS” and became the 9th member of the Jpop group. At the time he was attending Keio (A university-affiliated school) but was dropped out due to failing grades and at the same time Takahiro was rumored to be dating a girl in a magazine and was said to be kicked out of Johnny’s as a punishment. (I believe that it is against the rules to date girls or something)
Back to Toru and Ryota, after one year of inactivity of their hip-hop group, HEADS, they merged into one super group called, “GROUND 0” with seven other members. They continued to with GROUND 0 despite their quiet activity in 2004. It was said that this was the point where HEADS or GROUND 0 was pretty much over.
With Takahiro, he joined some cover-band called, “Chivalry of Music”, in 2004 while working a part-time job to maintain his home where he lived alone. His first home was said to be 180,000 yen ($1,715 US Dollars), his second home was 70,000 yen ($667.30 US Dollars), and his third home was 130,000 yen ($1239.27 US Dollars) where present-day Taka said, “he could be noisy”. Still at the time, he was lost in his life, not wanting to go back home to his family and was confused and scared about his future, being kicked out of Johnny’s Entertainment.
In 2005, HEADS or GROUND 0 finally broke up. There was no specific reason recorded though one reason could be because of lack of popularity or lost of interest in the group. Toru and Ryota started to try out acting careers (A notable Toru drama is called, “Sh15ya”, a drama about these 15-year olds living in a generated world or something.) but they stopped after a while so Toru decided to form a band purely for fun. On such a short notice, he told Ryota to learn how to play bass in two weeks so then they could start going to this rented out studio. (Ryota had said that he was emotionally unstable about this idea) While Toru got his friend, Alex, to play rhythm guitar and to be Toru and Ryota’s guitar sensei, Ryota got his friend, Yuu (or Tomo), to play drums for the band. Then all they needed was a singer and that’s when Toru started searching for a singer…
2005, Takahiro is still with the cover-band, playing with his head down with no confidence and unsure about his future. As he noted, he felt as if every live performance was sloppy and just a mere exciting recital. One day, that Toru kid who decided to form a band showed up at Takahiro’s live performance. From what present-day Taka said in an interview, Toru said, “I’m also in a band”. On another performance, Toru came to another performance and said to Takahiro, “Do you have fun singing while staring at the floor even though you’re performing live?” Seeing that Takahiro would sing with his head down. Finally one day, Toru somehow found out where Taka worked and came to his part-time job and said, “Come to my band rehearsal” But Takahiro refused so then Toru said he wouldn’t leave until Takahiro agreed to do so (This is the persuasive power of Toru, learn from him children.) and to Takahiro’s surprise, Toru really stuck to his word and didn’t leave Takahiro’s part time job so he finally agreed to go the band rehearsal and Toru finally left. Though after a few days, Takahiro didn’t show up thinking that Toru forgot about him but Toru didn’t, he showed up at his part-time job again and said a little more forcefully, “Everyone is waiting for you, we’re playing today. Call me when you arrive!” So when Takahiro did show up, he was a bad tempered child and didn’t get along with Ryota, Tomo, and Alex for the first time (Taka noted that Toru got some booing after Taka left) but even so, Toru had every little ambition to get Takahiro into the band, noting that, “If they didn’t get a vocalist fast, they’d be in trouble”. So after a few other visits, Takahiro decided to join the band after finding that him and the other members of this band had similar goals in their lives. Though in the amazing year of 2005 when ONE OK ROCK was born, drama was still in Taka’s life (This was when Takahiro started to call himself “Taka”), Taka’s parents divorced after countless arguments about his father controlling his mother too much and his mother not doing enough housework and so on. As a result, Taka was in his mother’s custody and got his surname changed to “Morita” while his two younger brothers, Tomohiro and Hiroki, were still in his father’s custody. Though this was a drastic change for Taka, Taka said he liked his new surname better due to the traumatic memories he had with his old surname.
In 2006, the drummer quit ONE OK ROCK after countless complains from his parents saying things like, “What are you doing playing in a band that may or may not sell, get real” and not showing up at their lives. ONE OK ROCK signed into Amuse without a drummer then. After several live performances without a drummer, they got to know a teacher from ESP (a musical academy) who recommended this one kid who was about the same age as ONE OK ROCK but was in a band that wasn’t doing that great and from then, they scheduled a meeting with this kid at Shinjuku Station. At the meeting, the entire band had the energy of Toru’s persuasiveness flowing inside of them all. They waited for 15-20 minutes before their possible drummer showed up. When he did show up, ONE OK ROCK noted that he walked as if he was lost and he was dressed in green from head to toe and that he gave off this good feeling with his good personality. The meeting was filled with fun as they got to know this kid named Tomoya Kanki as they went bowling and went out for someplace to eat. Seeing his amazing drum skills and finding him very passionate about the band, they decided to let Tomoya join the band. Taka noted that Tomoya was a little lost about leaving his other band but despite that, he stayed at Taka’s place until he left the other band.
After releasing out singles such as “Naihi Shinso” and “Yume Yume”, they finally released out their debut album, “Zetakubuyo”, in 2007 when Tomoya Kanki officially joined ONE OK ROCK as their drummer. ONE OK ROCK started to grow as a band, having their music videos air on MTV often, starting to perform around cities in Japan, and having managers of venues hand out business cards for them to perform there. Audience started to change as more guys started to appear rather than girls in heels and as the audience number began to grow. Their 3rd album, Kanjo Effect, was the point where Taka became more known as the vocalist for ONE OK ROCK rather than the ex-pop idol. As the two years went on, they became more and more close and started to exchange more ideas to each other about songs. Everything seemed so bright until one event twisted the future of ONE OK ROCK.
