ALEX from ONE OK ROCK arrested

Hazuki · #1 8th April 2009, 08:49 PM

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

i thought he mollested her or something?

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?

Hazuki · #4 8th April 2009, 09:57 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 · #5 8th April 2009, 09:59 PM

....UVERworld had a scandal?! why didn't anyone tell me!

unless it's that time where TAKUYA got arrested or something by the police? lol.

Hazuki · #6 8th April 2009, 10:03 PM

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

happiholic★ · #7 9th April 2009, 01:46 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 · #8 9th April 2009, 04:20 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

paper_doll · #9 9th April 2009, 04:30 AM

^ lmao!

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

AyUta · #10 9th April 2009, 06:08 AM

5 minutes to respond and call the police? Okay

Hazuki · #11 9th April 2009, 11:23 PM

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

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

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 · #14 12th April 2009, 03:44 AM

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

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

Aisha_Angel · #15 12th April 2009, 04:57 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 · #16 12th April 2009, 05:45 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.

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

Hazuki · #17 12th April 2009, 03:31 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 -_-

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! :/
