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

Midnight Icecream
OKAMOTO'S Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

真夜中に訪れた
おさえきれずに爆発
たまらない欲望
オレの sweet sweet ice cream
あぁ今スグあぁ今スグ
はやる気持ち押し殺し
フタを開けてみりゃ
ピンクのストロベリー

笑ってる
あの娘を忘れてトリコになってる

オレの熱で溶けてきた頃
ベッド沈み込んで
口いっぱいほおばる
たまらないぜ
パパとママには秘密だぜ
Midnight ice cream 真夜中の
Midnight ice cream オレの楽しみ
今夜もあいつは手招きしている

がんじがらめで解けない
まだまだ平気さヤリ続けようぜ
