It took 10 years for a popular Japanese rock band to release a music album in both English and Japanese.

This is my dream, said Takahiro Moriuchi, one member of One OK Rock. Two of the band's four members spent time in VOA's music studios last week. They were tired after a long trip from Japan. But they spent some time talking with Larry London on (VOA's) Border Crossings.

Moriuchi and Toro Yamashita say they hope to spread the band's message in both languages to fans around the world.

Singer Moriuchi, 27, told VOA their message is that everyone should try their best to succeed.

That's my opinion, but it's really simple. Just never give up, dream come true. One OK Rock joined together in 2005. In the past 10 years they have released seven albums. Their seventh album, 35xxxv, reached the No. 1 spot on the weekly Oricon albums chart in February. Oricon measures the success of albums in the Japanese music industry.
