Monster Energy has teamed up with a number of artists and athletes in the past and is excited to add ONE OK ROCK to the Monster family. “I’m excited to participate in big events with Monster in the future,” said lead vocalist Taka.

Keep an eye on ONE OK ROCK to see how this new collaboration will come to fruition!

Rock band ONE OK ROCK has released a DVD and Blu-ray of their first acoustic live concert ‘Day to Night Acoustic Sessions,’ originally performed from July 22 to July 25, 2021. The band performed at Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater at the foot of Mt. Fuji and the show was applauded globally across social media last year. 

 
The band previously uploaded a series of teaser trailers and behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube to tease the new release. On April 20, the full live video of the band performing Mighty Long Fall appeared for a limited time on the video-sharing site.

The limited-edition version includes a CD of the concert, a first for the band, which many fans have praised online. These special editions will be discontinued as soon as they sell out, so fans won’t want to hesitate. The included booklet also includes interviews with the members and crew, as well as more information about the group’s next album and upcoming projects. This is the first release for ONE OK ROCK in 2022, and there’s no telling how they’ll surprise the fans next!

DONUTS and ASOBISYSTEM will begin reprinting the legendary fashion magazine Zipper starting March 23, 2022! The commemorative first issue will feature girls group BiSH on the cover, and the girls will also take center stage in a six-page special feature.

The first feature will feature plenty of what Zipper is known for–Harajuku street photography. The magazine is filled with unique talents who are looking towards the future of Tokyo’s style. The theme, simply put, is “I decide what’s fashionable!” 

The grand prize winner of the Zipper model audition will also be announced in the first issue. Seven finalists were selected via a live streaming audition and a professional photo shoot. The winner will work as a Zipper model for a full year.

Rock band ONE OK ROCK will release a DVD and Blu-ray of their acoustic live concert ‘Day to Night Acoustic Sessions,’ originally performed from July 22 to July 25, 2021. The band performed at the foot of Mt. Fuji and the show was applauded across social media last year. The DVD and Blu-ray will be available on April 20, 2022.

All songs performed during the concert were rearranged specifically to be played acoustically. Bringing together strings, keyboards, chorus, and percussion, the venue was enveloped in a unique acoustic sound not typical for ONE OK ROCK. This was the first time in a year and a half that the band had performed in front of a live audience due to the pandemic, and the number of fans allowed at the venue was extremely small. Since so many fans weren’t able to attend, this release has been highly anticipated! The limited-edition versions include a CD of the concert, a first for the band.

During the live show, the members performed the setlist from their first concert. The group’s breakup was announced at the end of the show, and although it’s a sad time for fans, the members promised to make 2022 the ‘Year of BiSH’ with an expansive number of activities announced.

Comment from Cent Chihiro Chicchi

BiSH will disband in 2023. 

We started here at Nakano heavysick ZERO, a live house with only an 80 person capacity. We’ve been so lucky and so happy to have the support of so many people.

Thank you for loving us and giving us a place to be ourselves.

On our way to 2023, we’re going to give back to our fans with tons of exciting projects. 

Each of us has a distinct personality, and I think that BiSH was a place where we could each be ourselves without restraint.

We promise to make 2022 our best year ever. Before we hit the finish line, there’s so much we want to do!

We hope that we can properly convey our gratitude and love during our live performances. Everyone, come out and party with us until the end!
