Jinsei×Boku=

Jinsei×Boku= (人生×僕= Jinsei Kakete Boku wa, lit. Life Times Me Equals) is the sixth studio album by the Japanese rock band, One Ok Rock. It was released on March 6, 2013 and reached second place on the Oricon weekly chart. This album brought ONE OK ROCK to worldwide popularity, especially after the first single, "The Beginning", was selected as official soundtrack in the live action adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin. The song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and stayed for 45 weeks. The next single, "Deeper Deeper/Nothing Helps", was featured on the DmC: Devil May Cry ("Nothing Helps") game and used for Suzuki Swift TV commercials ("Deeper Deeper").

A DVD special bundled with the album released for limited pre-order only, consists of an acoustic performance in the studio of "The Beginning" and "The Same As...".

The song "The Beginning" can be heard in the 2012 film Rurouni Kenshin. "Clock Strikes" was featured in the PS3/PS4 Sega game Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin!. The song "Be The Light" was used in the animated film Space Pirate Captain Harlock, starring Shun Oguri and Haruma Miura.

Background and development
After their first two nights live in Yokohama Arena, One Ok Rock stated that they "wanted to begin recording a new album." Songs like "The Beginning" and "Clock Strikes", had been made long before Zankyo Reference was released. In mid-2012, they were asked to make a song for a new live adaption of the popular manga Rurouni Kenshin. The single "The Beginning" was used for the live adaption movie.

Promotion
One Ok Rock held their first national arena tour in 2013, engaged more than 100,000 audiences, six cities and 11 days, started from 11 May to 6 June 2013. They recorded 22 songs from their second day in Yokohama Arena released on Blu-ray and DVD, entitled Jinsei×Kimi= (人生×君=) Tour Live&Film, together with a one-hour documentation of the tour.

Later the band conducted their first world tour, consisting of concerts in 11 countries of Asia and Europe from October to December. Additional dates were added for Los Angeles and New York in early 2015. In the spring of 2014, they participated in Vans Warped Tour, successfully reaching new audiences abroad.
