ALEX from ONE OK ROCK arrested
 
I don't know how many people know ONE OK ROCK,
but either way, I'm posting this.

ALEX, the guitarist from ONE OK ROCK has been arrested for
touching/groping a woman's thigh while on the train.
Apparently he was drunk at 8am and admitted to this.
There was also some information that it was going
on for 5 MINUTES before the girl actually
had went to call for help.

ONE OK ROCK's nationwide tour is now canceled,
their upcoming single is postponed
and they will not be the theme song for "Godhand Teru" anymore.

It's really becoming a big scandal now huh..
What's worst to me is that they were just becoming
more and more popular and I think that them
having the theme song for "Godhand Teru"
would has boost their popularity a lot.

omg. :weep
tbh, i don't know how to feel about this.

Beauty4123 8th April 2009 10:40 PM

i thought he mollested her or something? :P but i was surprised, too, when i first read the news. i don't listen to them, but it's a shame :( will they still be releasing music after this? :shrug

Hazuki 8th April 2009 10:57 PM

When I heard about it, I was mad, but now I'm disappointed.
Because he even said stuff like "I made a move on her" etc.

Nope! Not molested, it really was like thigh rubbing.. lol
I just don't get why the girl waited 5 minutes before doing anything.

Hopefully, they'll get past all of this crap and start new again.
Remember how UVERworld had a scandal too?
They went past it, now everything is fine!
I just wish it'll be like that for OOK.. :\

Beauty4123 8th April 2009 10:59 PM

....UVERworld had a scandal?! why didn't anyone tell me! :laugh unless it's that time where TAKUYA got arrested or something by the police? lol.

Hazuki 8th April 2009 11:03 PM

Yeahyeah! It's the police one XD
No other scandal than that one lol

happiholic★ 9th April 2009 02:46 AM

I doesn't seem like he did that much to deserve all that punishment. And that girl waited too long to respond. It sends the wrong message.

Beauty4123 9th April 2009 05:20 AM

yea, was she actually enjoying for 5 whole minutes? LOL. if i were being harrassed like that, i'd call 911 in one second :laugh

paper_doll 9th April 2009 05:30 AM

^ lmao!

But yeah, seems like harsh punishment for touching someone's leg when they don't call you on it right away.

AyUta 9th April 2009 07:08 AM

5 minutes to respond and call the police? Okay :irked

Hazuki 10th April 2009 12:23 AM

^ Seriously! I really don't get how that works :irked

But.. Things are different in Japan then it would be in USA or Canada for example.
I understand that touching someone's thigh like that isn't right at all,
yet it looks like it's being made into TOO much of a big deal >_<

And I hate how all the media is calling him "American born", "American", this, that.
Who cares..!!!

Consideing it's ALEX, I wouldn't mind. Hell I wouldn't even call the police :laugh

On a more serious note, this is Kuu comment-scandal-blown-out-of-proportion type deal. Hopefully it'll blow over soon.

brand new love 12th April 2009 04:44 AM

maybe it took her 5 minutes to realize who was groping her thigh, so she decided to turn him in for publicity :shrug

either way, how ridiculous. everything was canceled because he was touching her thigh? i'm sure it isn't nice having some random drunk man touching you, but this is being blown out of proportion.

i wonder if the rest of the band is pissed at him :innocent

Aisha_Angel 12th April 2009 05:57 AM

If the girl had never experienced such a thing, panic might have hindered her from calling the police immediately. I know I would've been paralyzed with fear if a drunk guy were doing that to me.

Then again, I'm not out in public late enough to be around those types of people so...

Kingdom 12th April 2009 06:45 AM

i personally wouldn't want to be groped unwillingly by anyone, celebrity or not. considering he was drunk, she might have been scared to get help.. but where does it say it went on for five minutes?

i feel bad for the girl and i'm glad that alex atleast admitted to his wrong doing.. that's so sick. :no

she was out at 8am, probably on her way to school :D

Hazuki 12th April 2009 04:31 PM

^ I agree with you~

Yup, the girl was out to get to school~
'cause I typed up a few stuff I read from multiple articles,
but only linked to Tokyograph since it's English :x

It's Nikkan Sports that said about the 5 minutes btw~

I can't remember which news said this:
apparently, the police officer was nearby.
And trains in Japan at 8am are very packed!
Like little sardines in a can.
Being touched accidentally is pretty common,
just not groping -_-

Maemi 12th April 2009 08:46 PM

LMAO!

Is Alex the guy that used to be in Johnny's? (JE / Johnny's Entertainment)

I remember one of the guys in ONE OK ROCK is from Johnny's before, I just hope it's not him! :/

Oh ok, I see! Thx for the reply.

I remember reading back awhile ago on Tokyograph that the main singer is the one who is from Johnny's, and both his parents are also singers.

I just didn't know his name back then, lol, but now I know! Hehe. :D

Here's an update, from Tokyograph:

ONE OK ROCK's Alex avoids prosecution

Model and musician Alexander Onizawa (21), better known as ALEX of the band ONE OK ROCK, will not be prosecuted, it was learned on Wednesday. Earlier this month, Onizawa was arrested for groping a female prep school student on a train.

On Wednesday, Onizawa and the woman managed to settle the matter out of court. However, this does not yet mean that ONE OK ROCK will return to normal, as Onizawa's management stated that his future activities with the band are still undecided.

Immediately after ALEX's arrest, ONE OK ROCK had to cancel a nationwide tour, as well as the release of their new single "Around the World Shonen" that was supposed to be used as the theme song in the drama series "God Hand Teru."

I'm glad he's not getting prosecuted at least.
I hope they won't take him out of the band :| :| :|

Thanks rookies~

Kingdom 23rd April 2009 10:58 PM

ka♡ri. 17th May 2009 10:40 PM
