Eye of the Storm DVD booklet commentary summary

Received photos of the EOTS booklet from my friend D (since I have yet to order my own copy haha) and to return the favour I summarised for her what the members were saying when they watched the DVD together (side note, as cute as I think the booklet is, I wish they would do this on video again like they did with Budokan waaaay back, actually seeing their reactions on screen was so nice). This is NOT a 1:1 translation but a summary of the highlights, so I felt free to paraphrase pretty much everything, please keep that in mind.

“Head High” Commentary Translation

A friend of mine was kind enough to send me some pics of the booklet that came with the Eye Of The Storm DVD. From what I understood, the members sat down with someone, watched the DVD together and commented on what’s happening on screen. Anyway, the Head High comments were quite interesting because Taka and Toru were out there spilling some beans, haha. Love their relationship so much.

ONE OK ROCK “Field Of Wonder” Concert Translation

The anon from a few days ago asking what was said during the concert made me consider actually translating it. Luckily enough, it was fairly easy to understand! I wonder if I may be bending the rules a little too much with this one, but on the FOW website they only state that the distribution of picture and audio material is prohibited, so fingers crossed. I skipped through the concert, so it may be possible that I missed some tiny adlibs.

Important: I’m no Japanese or English native, therefore there might be translation errors in this as well as odd grammatical structures. Please also take into account that since I had to rely solely on my listening skills for this one, it may be possible that I misheard one thing or two. Apologies for that.

Four days?

Never even once in my life I'd thought that I'd got this much of a worries over someone I have never even met..

But the more I think of it, the more it didn't feel weird..

I have known ONE OK ROCK ever since I was in middle school, thanks to my cousin for putting Answer is Near, Wherever You Are, and Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer in my phone.

And even though I've been listening more of their songs from then, I only started to stan as a fan in my high school years. It was when I watched their performance in Yokohama Arena in 2014.

ONE OK ROCK songs did save me from being miserable and pathetic.. They did help me to stand on my own..

Hearing the latest news about Toru, Leader and guitarist of ONE OK ROCK, I actually got the anxiety more than I thought I would.

And there aren't any update of his condition, last time they said that he's stable.

I prayed everyday, for his well being, for the other three's health. For people around me too.

I trust him, I believe he will survive. He will come back to Taka and ONE OK ROCK will come back to us. Bringing more songs for us.

But the fact that we knows nothing about his actual current condition still gave me worries.

Yesterday someone said his fever had gone down, tho I don't where that came from, I believe it. I'm glad that he's getting better.

He will recover. And be healthier than ever. I believe him.

[cezforcez]

I woke up to my friend's chat that said Toru goes trending on Twitter.. I haven't even opened the chat yet, so I rushed to opened IG. Thinking he's update his IG or that maybe he's got the same Dating Rumor, just like Taka few days ago..

But it isn't

Toru of ONE OK ROCK, the founder, the leader, the guitarist, have tested positive for Corona Virus.

I always woke up in hunger.. Today, I feel like throwing up. My brain loaded too much shock that it started too hurts..

I am one heavy oorer, never have been in my life I thought someone I know would get infected by this goddamned virus..

This news got the whole fandom in chaos, and I do think all oorers deserve to knows, so that we all can pray for the Leader's recovery.

And not just that, I really hope this didn't worsening Taka's condition. It hadn't been long after Haruma Miura's passing away. Now this... I can't imagine how shocking this is for him.

We all knows how close Taka to Toru is. It isn't even about the Toruka I usually being nosy for. It's reality.

I hope Taka, Tomoya, and Ryota are doing well and I hope Toru will recover.

It's already good that his condition is stable, and that he'll be getting better each day.

He wil survive this virus

And we will pray for him, we will believe in him.

You guys should also take care of your health, don't wanna miss Toru's recovery news aren't you.

Wear the fucking mask, fucking wash your hands.

It's your right to believe in this pandemic or not but please do think of others and follow the health protocol.

Will’s voice dropped. “Everyone makes mistakes, Jem.” “Yes,” said Jem. “You just make more of them than most people.” “I — ” “You hurt everyone,” said Jem. “Everyone whose life you touch.” “Not you,” Will whispered. “I hurt everyone but you.”

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

This post is old, but you are STILL ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF TUMBLR STAFF in an emergency: this just happened to me recently. All you have to do is email [email protected] and they will handle the situation for you. Thanks for passing this along, guys!! xo Kate

Two different ways of Taka saying Toru’s name. 😏

I bet he has a lot more ways to say his beloved man’s name

[justselina]

After messing up "Change" lyric, Taka turned back and looked at his man leader with that awkward-but-still-cute smile. What do you think he's trying to express?

a. I'm so embarrassed, help me Leader-sama

b. I'm sorry, I messed up (again)

c. Please don't punish me Toru-san

I think it's the last one 🙊 but you know what Taka-chan, don't be tsundere, you like the punishment don't you? 😏

[justselina]

Don't you think that they seemed content with each other? 😍

By the way, do you know what's going on in my mind every time I watch this moment? Here, this scenario:

Taka went home with a very bad mood. He felt so drained and exhausted. He barely had energy to open his apartment door.

He stopped walking when he saw Toru sitting in the living room. They stared at each other for a moment before Taka moved toward him.

And Toru, who knew something's bothering Taka, got up and went to him as well.

When they're close enough, Taka naturally put both of his arms around Toru's neck and rested his head on Toru's shoulder. He felt Toru's hand on his back, making comfort gestures.

"I have a bad day", whispered Taka.

Toru nodded and replied, "I know. It's okay. I'm here."

And Taka believed him.

Because it's always like this. Just by hearing those few words from Toru, all his bad feelings went away. As long as Toru's with him, he knew that everything will be alright.

*INTERNAL SCREAMING*

Okay I’m dead. Bye~

[justselina]

Do you see the determination on Taka's eyes? Isn't it a finally-I-am-gonna-have-moment-with-my-beloved-guitarist look? 😏

[cezforcez]

the way Toru shake his head at the end tho 😭😭, and we all know he's sorta smirking while facing Taka

[justselina]

I know, right! 😭 I guess he's also internally muttering "about the damn time" when Taka finally coming to him with that intense stare. 😏

[cezforcez]

YAASSSHHH 😭😭 He's even turning his body immediately a second before Taka stoped moving

[justselina]

Yup! 😭 Those gestures scream everything. 😭 Is it just me or there's always thick tension (so thick you could cut it with a knife) every time they face each other?
