One OK Rock Celebrate 20th Anniversary With G-Shock Collaboration In Conjunction With Release Of New Album “DETOX”

Announcing a special collaboration timepiece celebrating the 20th anniversary of ONE OK ROCK, one of Japan’s most iconic rock bands, renowned for their global influence and distinctive sound. The timing is also in conjunction with the release of their latest album DETOX and brings together the band and timepiece giants CASIO. Available from April 10 within Japan and scheduled to be released gradually after April for markets outside Japan.

Under the supervision of bassist Ryota and designed by Swedish artist Emil Öhlund, a close collaborator of ONE OK ROCK, the watch features a beautiful cherry blossom gradation across the dial and a katana-inspired indicator hand, blending Japanese tradition with elegance.
 
The back cover is also engraved with the ONE OK ROCK logo and presented in a special packaging, this carefully crafted G-SHOCK collaboration is truly exceptional and a must have!

Founded in Tokyo during 2005, the quartet —Taka [vocals], Toru [guitar], Tomoya [drums], and Ryota [bass]— have unassumingly emerged as a global phenomenon and one of Japan’s hottest exports with dozens of international gold and platinum certifications and billions of streams. Beyond six consecutive Top 5 entries and three #1 debuts on the Japanese Top Albums Chart, the group’s global imprint has grown with a foothold stateside. They stand out as the rare force of nature who can tour alongside either The Smashing Pumpkins or Ed Sheeran — with whom they co-wrote “Renegades” for the film Rurouni Kenshin: The Final. Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), ONE OK ROCK’s most-recent studio album Luxury Disease debuted at #1 in Japan marking the band’s fourth straight chart topping album in their home country following the blockbusters 35xxxv, AMBITIONS, and EYE OF
THE STORM. Luxury Disease was highlighted by the singles “Save Yourself,” ‘Let Me Let You Go,” and “Vandalize,” the latter of which featured as the ending theme for SEGA’s Sonic Frontiers.
