For a country dominated by Korean pop culture, inviting a huge Japanese band was never easy. I remember a conversation from a fellow JPop fangirl, that some agencies are not that convinced with our market to hold a concert or fan event in the Philippines. Hence, it will be too risky for them to have such investment.

But who would have thought that after numerous attempts and countless petitions of fans and supporters, our dream will finally come true.

ONE OK ROCK, a Japanese rock band consist of by vocalist / frontman Takahiro "Taka" Moriuchi, drummer Tomoya Kanki, guitarist Toru Yamashita and bassist Ryota Kohama, at long last held their first ever concert here in Manila last Janury 19, as part of their 35xxxv Asia Tour.
