The band's name, ONE OK ROCK, comes from "one o'clock", the time that the band u
sed to practice on weekends. They chose to play at one o'clock in the morning be
cause it was cheaper to use the rehearsal space during such hours. However, noti

"OK ROCK".[3] In addition, ONE OK ROCK's name are expressed as "10969" (wan-o-ku
