Further reasons to love OOR
I went on an OOR picture hunting spree yesterday, and this is what I ended up with:
Dorks. Such dorks.
I think it's impossible for Taka to look normal in photos. No, seriously. Look at him.
On another note, most of you probably know that Taka used to be in NewS. I always wondered if the others make fun of him for his NewS days, because, well, just look at the NewS Nippon PV. I did some research (read: avoided doing university work again) and as it turns out, Toru and Ryota really don't have the right to mock anyone. The reason:
Toru and Ryota used to be in a hip-hop group called HEADS. They released six singles and even an album. And they were good at breakdancing. XD THINK LEAD (except younger, and better at dancing). You can listen to samples of their songs here and read an article about them here. I enlisted a friend of mine to help me, and she managed to dig up this video on youtube, in which Toru is 12 and Ryota is 11, and they breakdance and try to act all thug. Needless to say, it is insanely cute. I bet you didn't know Toru could dance.
Chibi-Ryota! And not-so-chibi-Toru.
The tiny one on the upper left is Ryota, and the kid angsting underneath him is Toru.
Excuse me while I laugh my ass off.
And now, for my personal favorite:
I'M SORRY. I love ONE OK ROCK, I really do, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to make fun of them. XD
All of this has lead me to the conclusion that ONE OK ROCK = no street credit.
Taka used to be in NewS, Toru and Ryota in HEADS, Tomoya just got a perm and Alex is... Alex.
