Ono got his start in the 80s when he was the vocalist for the heavy metal band FORT BRAGG.
In 1992, he released his first solo single, entitled "Pure ni Nare", under the label Sony Records.
But it wasn't till his third single, "You're the Only...", that Ono got a hit song. The single helped him to win the Rookie of the Year award at that year's Nihon Record Taishou and an invitation to that year's Kouhaku Utagassen.
In 2009, Ono became the vocalist for the band GALNERYUS.

天使の微笑みで 連れ出して
孤独でも 一人じゃないさ
生まれてきたことに 必ず意味がある
優しさに 満ち溢れてる
青い地球にありがとう
You can smile again 太陽浴びて
You can fly away 世界は君の輝きを待ってる
大地を踏みしめて 君は目覚めていく
天使の微笑みで 連れ出して (you can smile!)
「始まり」はいつでも遅くないさ
何度でも立ち上がれ
最後まで あきらめないさ
やり続けることに 必ず意味がある
You just try again 闇を抜けて
You just go away 未来はいつも 僕たちを待ってる
大空駆けぬけて 海原越えて行け
天使の投げキッス 捕まえて (you can try!)
まだ誰も見たことない世界へ
飛び出そう明日
大地を踏みしめて 君は目覚めていく
天使の微笑みで 連れ出して (you can smile!)
終わらない冒険に出掛けよう
いつまでも どこまでも
流れ落ちる涙 勇気に変えていく
天使の羽広げ 舞い上がれ (you can fly!)
悲しみも痛みも包みこんで 強くなれ明日
大地を踏みしめて 君は目覚めていく
天使の微笑みで 連れ出して (you can smile!)
「始まり」はいつでも遅くないさ
何度でも (you can try!)
何度でも (you can try!)
何度でも立ち上がれ
In the lyrics to Ono Masatoshi's song "departure!", the singer addresses someone who is awakening and reminds them that they are not alone, even in their loneliness. The song emphasizes the idea that there is always meaning in one's existence, and that one should never give up on their dreams. The singer encourages the listener to walk the earth with confidence, step by step, aided by an angel's smile. The beauty and goodness of the world are emphasized, and the listener is urged to embrace the sunlight and take flight, as the world is waiting for their brilliance.
The song's chorus encourages the listener to keep trying and to embrace any setback as an opportunity to start anew. The idea is that every "beginning" is a chance to cast off the past and make a fresh start, and that it's never too late to begin again. The singer urges the listener to fly across the vast sky and boundless ocean with the help of an angel's kiss, into a world that awaits their discovery. The song's message is that there is always hope and that pain and sorrow can be overcome with strength and courage.
Overall, "departure!" is a song about hope, perseverance, and the beauty of life. It reminds us that there is always meaning and worth in our existence, even in moments of darkness and pain, and encourages us to keep trying and striving towards our dreams.
