At only 19 years old, this band is ready to fill the boots of the Ramones and become legends themselves.

With their unique style of psychedelic garage and a mix of R&B, Okamoto's have been likened to The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Stooges.

Okamoto's come with a message, barely 19 and they already have the fire and passion to take over the world questioning the forefathers of Rock itself. They do not simply know, but have the courage to ask Bob Dylan if in fact " The times have actually changed" and of course still maintain the punk rock mentality in asking why are they not learning about rock in school. They have the guts of fearless teenagers, scaring us one adult at a time. Live shows that make the blood curdle at the fact that they have only just graduated from high school, the old are afraid, the young are eating it up. They really are a horrifying band!

June of 2009 saw them release their debut album "Here are Okamoto's" and with over 100 live shows under their belt, Okamoto's are going to just get better and scarier with every step they take. So get on that "Rocket to Japan" because everyone is going to wanna dance with these guys

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to OKAMOTO'S's song "Beek" are in Japanese, but I can give you a general interpretation of the song based on the overall feel and context. The song seems to be about a desire for connection and communication with someone. The lyrics ask if the person would dance with the singer tonight, and offers to teach them a "bad game." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for possibly engaging in a rebellious or spontaneous activity, breaking free from societal expectations. The line "Leave me alone!" could indicate a sense of independence and a desire to be free from constraints.

The repeated phrases "Yeah! yeah!" and "教えてくれよ" (which roughly translates to "tell me") throughout the song suggest a plea for the person to open up and share more about themselves. There is also a reference to the person's frowning face being blown away, symbolizing the breaking down of barriers and revealing their true emotions.

Overall, "Beek" seems to convey a longing for connection, a desire to break free from societal norms, and a plea for the other person to open up and reveal their true selves.
