The Beginning (One Ok Rock song)

The lyrics then written in mid-2012 after they were asked to make a song for a new live adaption of the popular manga Rurouni Kenshin that his friend, Takeru Satoh, was the lead actor.

[6][7] "The Beginning" is an emotional track with a powerful and loud sound, tells about a person's struggle to never give up and change for the better for the loved ones and risk everything to stay together in any situation and condition.

The tempo of the song then increases as the drum beats kick in, guitar melody takes on a heavier, fuller tone while the bass delivers quick jabs.

It then focuses on a young man holding what appears to be a diamond, as the song takes an intense drop while showing key frames of the phrases 'Take my hand' & 'And bring me back".

Vocalist Taka passionately keeps on singing while drummer Tomoya is often shown from a back perspective with the camera occasionally focusing on guitarist Toru and bassist Ryota.

Eventually the phrases 'Stand up stand up', 'Wake up wake up', 'Never give up' and 'Just tell me why baby' take over the screen and then leave a wide perspective of the band playing with quick focuses on Taka and the unnamed young man who keeps walking while limping.
