Honestly, their stuff is generic pop/rock. There's nothing special that stands out about them IMO. The stuff Avril was doing back on UMS were done different and worked well with her and her voice. She does well when she is in charge of the melodies. She probably chose something that she knew would work well with her and her voice. Nope thire newer stuff maybe but not thire older stuff. They are very hardcore.

They aren't bad, but they aren't exactly my type; the music is alright but there's something about the vocals that puts me off a bit. Anyway, I'm really excited to hear this song. Didn't Avril tweet about One OK Rock before? I think they met or something. I can't remember correctly. I need my memory refreshed. EDIT: Yep, even found a photo. This was 2013 I think. Didn't they open for her or something in Japan/Asia leg of BST? Or am I suffering from Mandala effect? They could have?? Maybe that's how they managed to meet for an interview.. I'm not sure now. I take Avril's definition of "rock" with a grain of salt. To me "rock" means like UMS, but I also remember her literally saying songs like WTH and RNR were rock songs so "rock" may mean something different to Avril than it does to most of us. I think she just likes songs with energy and attitude. That is probably what she meant. To be fair RNR does have some rock elements in it althoughhh it's very forced rock elements Should have been called "Poppy-Rock N Roll" I agree though, I think she means something more energetic, and honestly I don't see her going back to a UMS sound, or anything similar to it for that matter, even if it's on someone else's song really.

One OK Rock isn't even remotely metal. They sound more like Linkin Park or some shit. And if anyone says Linkin Park is "metal"... Wait... Linkin Park is Metal ;D They're like one of the highlights on 00's nü-metal/alt-metal music, thought they got more into alt-rock later

I really want to know what "metal" bands you guys listen to if you insist on making this connection. I don't have time right now to carefully explain myself, nor should it be necessary, but One OK Rock (and Linkin Park for that matter) are about as metal-influenced as Avril. That is to say, not much. Loud music with distorted guitars does not a metal sound make.

Based on pre-orders and current Amazon positions, I think that the album will debut at #1 in Japan...

There are always stores that sell albums before the release date. But as I said before Japanese people don't really leak albums. A few years ago Britney had a new song as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of her album and the song didn't leak until her international fans got the Japanese CD. Their laws are pretty hard when it comes to illegal downloading and putting copyrighted material on the internet.

Their laws are pretty hard when it comes to illegal downloading and putting copyrighted material on the internet. Indeed. The penalty is rather convoluted, but it involves Godzilla, a katana duel, and some untoward tentacles. In all seriousness, yeah Japan seems to have a zero tolerance policy on illegal file sharing, especially uploaders. There are threats of BIG fines and prison sentences. Whether anyone has ever faced the full extent of the law for leaking an album is another matter, but I'm sure people just don't want to risk it.

You still need a Japanese credit/debit card or a Japanese gift card to purchase music. But if the song doesn't like we can rip the 90 seconds preview. The album will be released in 24 hours btw.

You can skip that and enter in an iTunes giftcard. But I'm sure there are easier ways, like switching it on Spotify or something then ripping it with Audio Hijack or something.
