In 2006 they independently released 2 mini albums. Because of their albums sales, their participation in relatively large festivals that summer and their energetic shows in the outskirts of Tokyo, they were noticed by a foreign record company.
In March 2007 Tomoya officially joined the group and the band finally made their major debut by releasing their first single 内秘心書(Naihi Shinsho) on April 25th.
The band's name, One Ok Rock, came from "one o'clock," the time that the band used to practice on weekends. However, noticing that the Japanese language made no distinction between r's and l's, they changed "o'clock" to "o'crock" (or "o'krock") which then was separated to become "ok rock".
On April 5th, 2009, Alex was arrested for allegedly groping a female prep school student. They were going to release the single 「Ａｒｏｕｎｄ ザ ｗｏｒｌｄ 少年」on May 6th but this was cancelled. The song was also going to be used for the drama 'God Hand Teru' but was replaced. Also, a nationwide tour was cancelled because of the incident. On May 15th, it was announced the Alex has left the group and the other 4 members would continue activities in the summer without him.
ONE OK ROCK continued as a four-member group and made a comeback with a live concert tour that started on September 5, 2009, titled Overcome Emotion. Their first release afterwards was their fourth single, "Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer", on February 3, 2010. The band followed up with their fourth album, Niche Syndrome, which was released on June 9. Their next single, "Answer is Near", was released on February 16, 2011.
The band released their first double A-side single "Re:make/No Scared" on July 20, 2011, the latter song being the main theme for the Black Rock Shooter: The Game video game. The band's fifth album, Zankyo Reference, was released on October 5, 2011. Their single, "The Beginning", which is used as a theme for the live action movie adaptation of the Rurouni Kenshin manga, was released on August 22, 2012. Their next single Deeper Deeper / Nothing Helps was followed by their 6th full-length album titled Jinsei × Boku = released on March 6, 2013.
Their song Mighty Long Fall from their 9th single was used as the theme song for the second movie adaption of the Rurouni Kenshin manga titled Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno. The bands 7th album, 35xxxv was released in Japan on February 11, 2015. Later in 2015 the band signed with Warner Bros. Records in America and released their debut album in the US, 35xxxv (Deluxe Edition), an all-English album.

ONE OK ROCK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕はそれを
失ってしまったんでしょう?
深層心理を探ったところで
何の意味も無くて
腐って落ちた果実
狂って実った現実
月が照らしだした方角
みんな全部しょい込んで
気づきゃもう今日が終わっていて
求めてた日々はこんなモンだっけ?
With my speechless calm eyes
Nothing is coming to rise
道しるべにと落とした小さい石
暗くて辺りが
見えなくなりそうなとき
迷った僕を軌道修正さ!
リセットなんてしなくたって
リスタート
ここはどこで僕はさぁ誰だ?
たまに分かんなくなんだ!だってさ
周りが思うよりも
ずっともっと凄いスピードで
物事は動いているんだ
そうだ!これは罠だ!
思わぬ落とし穴だ!
自分の夢探しのために
掘り進んできた穴はもはや
光すらささなくなって
落ちたら最後
生ける屍
何気なくつけたテレビに映る
愛想笑いしたその小さい子に
僕は実際一切癒やされることなく
自分を重ね合わせて
みたりなんかしちゃったりして
Ah
With my speechless calm eyes
Nothing is coming to rise
道しるべにと落とした小さい石
暗くて辺りが
見えなくなりそうなとき
迷った僕を軌道修正さ!
リセットなんてしなくたって
リスタート
In "欠落オートメーション" ("Lacking Automation"), ONE OK ROCK vocalist Taka sings of feeling lost and disconnected from the world around him. He wonders when and how he lost his way, and searches his subconscious for answers, only to find himself faced with a rotting fruit and a harsh reality. Despite feeling confused and overwhelmed, Taka refuses to give up, urging himself to reset and restart. The lyrics express a sense of frustration with the expectations and pressures placed on individuals to constantly strive for success and happiness, and the toll this can take on a person's mental health.
The song's chorus features the repeated line "With my speechless calm eyes, nothing is coming to rise," which suggests feelings of numbness and defeat. However, the small stone dropped as a guidepost serves as a beacon of hope, leading the way even in darkness. The bridge of the song introduces a metaphor of digging a hole in search of one's dreams, only to find oneself trapped and unable to climb out.
Overall, "欠落オートメーション" is a poignant exploration of the struggles many people face in modern society, particularly in Japan where the song was written and performed. It speaks to the pressure to keep up appearances and embrace a hyper-connected, tech-savvy lifestyle, which can leave individuals feeling empty and adrift.

The hole I dug to chase my dreams has lost all light and if I fall, I'll be a walking corpse
何気なくつけたテレビに映る 愛想笑いしたその小さい子に
The small child who smiles innocently on TV
僕は実際一切癒やされることなく 自分を重ね合わせて みたりなんかしちゃったりして
I can't actually find any solace, but I still imagine myself in that child
Ah
Ah

子供じゃない
テレビに映った小さい子
→若い時に利用されるアイドル
Takaも元ジャニーズ＝アイドル
愛想笑いに癒されない、アイドル時代の自分と重ね合わせる＝自分もあんな事していたのか
軌道修正→アイドルからアーティストでリスタート
売れないバンドじゃなくて、間違った気持ちで音楽業界に入ると馬鹿を見るって事
周りは物凄いスピードで動いていく→入れ替わりが激しい世界
その人気は罠、それが思わぬ落とし穴→アイドルでは賞味期限が短いし、続かない
欠落オートメーション→欠落した自動装置
大人が子供を選んで稼がせる世界、使えなくなったら捨てられて次の新しいのへ
その先にはNothing there(何も残らない)
No one there(捨てられて成功した奴なんかいない)
