Taka from ONE OK ROCK Talks About his Experience in America

 
As many of us already know, ONE OK ROCK recently broke into the American market with an all-English deluxe version of their most recent album, 35xxxv. They embarked on their first American tour shortly after, as well, playing alongside popular American bands like All Time Low and Sleeping with Sirens. Recently, however, vocalist Taka sat down with Cayem Interviews to talk a little bit about what this whole new experience in America has been for him and the band.

During the interview, Taka talked about the differences of producing an album in America compared to Japan, his friendship with All Time Low and Sleeping with Sirens, and the meaning behind the album title for 35xxxv. They also talked about more trivial things like Taka’s favorite place to eat in America, and what he likes the most about the country.
Personally, what struck me the most about the interview was the great improvement in Taka’s English. I, alongside many commenters on YouTube, were astonished to hear such great improvement from him. He still has a few grammatical errors here and there, but his improvement is, without a doubt, amazing. It just comes to show how seriously he took ONE OK ROCK’s break into the Western rock world.
