This 50+ geezer witness your oaa performance in Pomona, California, a couple years ago at the Glass House. My daughter and I were blown away. It was a mesmerizing ocean of sound that I will never forget. I had followed the band for maybe 2 years prior. I've seen thousands of bands perform in and around Hollywood over the last 35 years, and I would have to say, that night is my favorite memory. Cheers to you and the band. I'm still in awe over your vocals. We'll done and thanks.

Lemme bend your ear. In 2018, I saw Oceans play at a tiny venue in the industrial sector of Salt Lake City. I was having an absolutely brutal time, my ex was hitting me, my sister had just died, was doing a lot of cocaine. But I’d never heard music like this at a venue like that. Never at a place with a nearly flush stage, never in a venue where merch crews and roadies nearly outnumbered the audience members. I still remember how heavy that pit was. Really changed my perspective on live music and threw me feet first into the modern metal scene on a whim. I’m super glad I walked into that show and paid the $10 door fee after walking away from my ex after a big blow up. Thanks for that, dude.

I'm glad you made this video because I've tried countless times to sing along to Hansha, but my voice can hardly keep up even when it's in its best condition. I thought honestly that it was easy for you to sing like that and I felt like I was not doing very well as a singer because I couldn't hit the high notes consistently. Obviously that's not the case and to be fair some of it was just insecurity in my own voice that already existed. But I needed this kind of vulnerability because it's so common for vocalists to do this sort of thing and I find it doesn't get talked about very often. Thanks bro. 🤜

I can definitely see why vocally this song is hard to perform especially as part of a set. By far will always be one of my favorite OAA songs though

This song got me hooked to the band. I did a drum cover of the song and probably have played it countless times already. I can only imagine how difficult it would be on tour, thabk you for the music is all I can say. Your music has definitely influenced me and my playing 😊

Hey man, I saw you live in 2018, and I remember you completely demolish the set, both cleans and distorted were amazing. It was in Italy so I guess you were half way the tour. A good trick for writing vocals in general, is that you should write stuff that is consistently easy to sing for you. If that is not possible in the scheme of things, you could rely on a dedicated warm up and a "smart" setlist, meaning a setlist that would make your singing duty easier. Example, put the most vocally demanding songs at the beginning when the fuel is still in the tank. TY for your work with OAA, I think Hikari is a very cool album. I'm also sorry for the events that occurred between you and the band, I'm not even near your level of notoriety, but had to go through similar stuff a way back. Breaking bonds sucks and rekindling them is not always possible and a lot of work, but I hope that it helped you grow as a person like it did for me.

I'm happy to know that you even that Hansha is a beautiful song, you're not as well happy that the vocals aren't 100% organic. However you definitely tried to perform it live. Something I would've recommend, maybe should done Hansha at the beginning of the shows. Before performing the heavy bangers and avoiding exhausting you vocals. Happy to see you being consistent on social media and back doing covers. Much love man🙌🏼♥️

Not boring at all! It's nice to hear your thoughts on the behind-the-scenes of it all too. As for questions, I can think of a few. Feel free to answer or not if you don't want to touch on certain things! 1. I'm pretty sure James wrote the lyrics for OAA songs while he was in the band from off-hand comments he made? Or at least a good portion of them. Who was behind the writing in Hikari? 2. Even if it's not fully joining a band since you seem very happy as a tattoo artist (big respect btw!), would you ever consider doing vocals as a feature if ever given the opportunity? (Maybe even with Livealie? :) It'd be a dream...) 3. Are you on good terms with (former) members of OAA? I know you and James mentioned each other here or there, are you two still friends or have kept in contact? EDIT: One more! Sorry for the bombardment... 4. Hikari was heavily inspired by Japanese culture, how did that direction for the album come to be? Is that something you have a personal interest in as well? Thanks!! Have a good day, man🙏

Your challenge in OAA is a rhythmic high note. from screaming and growling I think it's good, but the challenge is a must in OAA. I think songs like covert, hansha, escapist which have high rhythmic notes are heavy, but is the song that is the identity of Hikari's album in my opinion

That whole album is amazing! I think most people, and especially other people that play music in the crowd aren't that judgmental when they can tell a vocalist isn't having a 100% kind of day. That's me anyways. I'm just excited to see the band performing.

I love oaa a ton, but if I’m honest, as a drummer, I listen to their music mostly for Chris’s playing, except for Hikari. Hikari as a whole is just oaa’s sound perfected, in my opinion. I miss your vocals in their music man.

I remember under a lot of videos of Hansha live performances people in the comments were judging you very harshly which I thought was unfair. I mean, go ahead guys, try and hit all those C#5's abd B4's and stuff after full on screaming and singing the entire setlist for at least an hour.. and most of the live recordings I saw you very actually pretty spot on, but the one where you were completely tired was professionaly shot and had the most views lol
