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

OKAMOTO'S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And bring the noise!
I could see the firey ocean
Flashing green and
Red and yellow
Can you feel it now?
Dangerous feeling
Quiet silent
I don't care inside their eyes
Go on try to dig what we all say
Come on move it up moving down
(Move it up moving down)
Come on move it up moving down
(Move it up moving down)
Come on move it up moving down
(Move it up moving down)
Come on move it up
Moving down
Peal it up and look right
Through it
They say I'm insane
'Cause I'm not like the others
That's the way they say
To the latest one
That's the way they say
To the youngest one
I don't care inside their eyes
Go on try to dig what we all say
Come on move it up moving down
(Move it up moving down)
Come on move it up moving down
(Move it up moving down)
Come on move it up moving down
(Move it up moving down)
Come on move it up
Moving down
Don't know what's going on
Don't eaven want to know
Gonna get what I want!
Gonna get what I want!
Still don't know how to get
It's on tomorrows papers
Get me a kicks kicks kicks kicks
Give me a kiss kiss kiss kiss
Turn the lights off
And burn it up
'Cause I don't care inside their eyes
