Japanese rockstar bassist Ryota Kohama from the popular band One OK Rock recently announced that he has already tied the knot this month during a concert at Japan’s Shizuoka Ecopa Arena.
“I got married this month! Her name is Michelle! I’m pleased to announce that we’re husband and wife,” Ryota revealed at a dramatic moment during the opening of their concert on February 18.

Lavigne is known for her fondness of Japan and its culture. When One OK Rock released their latest album, Ambitions, in the U.S., Lavigne was even featured on of the tracks called “Listen”.
As musicians, Avril and One OK Rock have met several times in the past. The first time was when they both appeared on the same Japanese music TV show in 2013. They would later cross paths again when the band was performed in Canada in last year during their North American tour.
