Taka’s MC in Jakarta translation (2026.05.16)
pls note that my translation might not be 100% accurate so sorry in advance for any mistakes🫠
"We have been a band for 20 years. It wasn’t easy… fucking running 20 years. But I feel like time has flown by incredibly fast. And it feels like fucking fast. All right…
But you know, even though I have gone through so many downs and failures myself, I am standing here now, having crossed the borders of countries, cultures, and languages. And the fact that such a massive number of diverse people could come to love me—that is probably the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and it will stay in my heart forever. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful to my band members, my friends, and most of all, to all of you for bringing me here. Thank you so much.
On stage, we might actually look like supermen. But the moment we take one step off it, we are just ordinary people, no different from any of you. Even so, precisely because we have been given this kind of life, we have the opportunity to do what we must and are meant to do.
I have already made enough money. I don’t really care about material things anymore. That is exactly why, as long as this voice holds out and as long as I have the physical strength, I want to give all my soul, my screams, and our music to all of you who love us.
As you get older, you get more sentimental and teary-eyed. And I don't know if it's because of age... Or if it's about how rough, brutal, and thorny creating this album was for us. I can't really give you an exact answer right now, but at least...There’s one thing to know for sure: there is so much happiness in having created this album and getting to perform these songs for you. And even though these moments, where feelings get overwhelmed and eyes tear up, might feel a bit embarrassing to look back on—every single one of them will absolutely become a priceless treasure.
During this tour, we... well, I was constantly snapping at the staff. Honestly, I was just completely losing my shit at them in a completely one-sided way. I kept worrying: ‘Are our voices and our songs seriously not getting through?’ There were so many moments when I thought: ‘Why am I singing from this stage to all these people? What is the point of this message anyway?’ But every single time, we all pulled together, held on to each other, and that's how we made it to this very day.
Unfortunately, our shows in China fell through. It’s a huge disappointment. No matter how much this world tries to move things through politics, music is originally supposed to stand in a completely different place. That’s exactly what we were thinking when we made this album. But we will absolutely, definitely come back again to meet all of you in China.
Let me say just one last thing. The next song is going to be our last. No matter how many 'beautiful words' musicians say from the stage, the world won’t change because of it. The only ones who can change it are every single one of you. All we can do is stand at the front and broadcast our words, our stance, our songs, and our feelings through a microphone. We can't do anything beyond that.
Please don't forget this. Every single one of you will play an incredibly important role in this world in the future. Whether it’s through music, your work, your loved ones, your family, or your friends—please keep on proving that.
In this chaotic world—and in the even more chaotic future waiting for us, a world where what used to be right suddenly becomes a mistake, and what was the truth is pushed aside or stays wrong forever—in a world like this, please, make sure to find the meaning of life for each of you.
And if you ever run out of courage or hope, we will always be waiting for you right here on this stage, and we’ll keep shouting for you.
Thank you so much for today!
We are ONE OK ROCK!
See you again!"

Saat keluarga menjemput jenazah Rheza, mereka dipaksa menandatangani surat pernyataan bahwa kematian ini dianggap “murni musibah” dan tidak akan menuntut pihak mana pun.
Rheza Sendy Pratama, dibunuh dan masih difitnah "murni musibah"
Some clarification to our Twitter friends:
- The summary was NOT done in 3 hours and by the people in that phone call only
- A dozen of organizations (I can share the list) worked together to come up with that
- When I reached out to Andovi and Abigail, they connected this whole thing to Jerome and Malaka friends
- Then we finalized the narrative rather quickly because we thought it needs to get out by Monday
- No, it wasn’t meant to be a COMPLETE list but more as a prioritization exercise, though we do appreciate inputs on all the bills and reforms that are not included
- Let’s fight the fundamentals together, *then* we start addressing ALL the issues one by one
I really am trying my best to love and do something for this country I know you guys are too.
🤯🤯BREAKING: temuan wartawan dibalik dalang penjarahan. 🤯🤯
Kesaksian oleh "paid actor" yg ketinggalan rombongan bernama Ahu:
-4 mobil konvoy berangkat bareng dari cimahi, terus lanjut jemput orang di bandung, bandung barat, sukabumi, cianjur sampai bogor rombongan 600 motor.
-Mampir ke tanggerang dulu, kamis nyampe senayan lemparin molotov.
-Sebelum berangkat, diperintshkan membuat dulu bom molotov. “Ada 160 botol dibuat,” isinya minyak tanah.
-Botol itu kemudian diangkut ke kendaraan minibus putih. “Macam Alphard tapi bukan, saya lupa namanya,” kayaknya hiace ya?
-Di DPR ketemu rombongan lain yang direkrut dengan cara yang sama dari daerah jawa & bekasi.
-Sebagian kelompok beraksi di DPR, rekan-rekan Ahu yang lain membakari halte-halte Transjakarta.
“Itu pakai molotov yang dibuat di kampung,”
-Sebagian dari anggota rombongan, kata dia, ditugaskan mengunggah siaran live di TikTok.
-Dapet brief penjarahan ke 4 rumah, Pimpinan rombongan memberi tahu ada empat rumah yang bakal dijarah dan lokasinya mulai dari priuk. tapi ga berangkat karena kepencar dari rombongan.
-Saat diperlihatkan video penjarahan sama wartawan Ahu mendaku mengenali sebagian penjarah. “Itu yang baju biru juga rombongan saya, Bang”

Sore, 12 Mei 1998. Enam mahasiswa Trisakti ditembak saat sebagian besar dari sekitar 6.000 mahasiswa sudah kembali ke kampus sepulang dari demonstrasi. Empat mahasiswa, Elang Mulia Lesmana, Heri Hertanto, Hafidin Royan, Hendriawan Sie meninggal dunia.
Analisis forensik menunjukkan empat mahasiswa ini meninggal karena tembakan dari senapan steyr. Senapan berdaya ledak tinggi dan hanya dimiliki segelintir unit polisi. Kapolri sendiri mengatakan orang2nya cuma menggunakan peluru karet.
Lambat laun, terkumpul bukti bahwa tembakan itu bukan dari polisi. Tetapi dari unit khusus yang menyamar, menggunakan seragam polisi. Serangan diperhitungkan secara matang untuk memprovokasi mahasiswa.
Memang berdarah dingin...

#Indonesia: We are following closely the spate of violence in the context of nationwide protests over parliamentary allowances, austerity measures, and alleged use of unnecessary or disproportionate force by security forces. We stress the importance of dialogue to address the public’s concerns.
The authorities must uphold the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression while maintaining order, in line with international norms and standards, in relation to the policing of public assemblies. All security forces, including the military when deployed in a law enforcement capacity, must comply with the basic principles on the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials.
We call for prompt, thorough, and transparent investigations into all alleged violations of international human rights law, including with respect to use of force.
It is also important that the media is permitted to report on events freely and independently.
