Lovely influences. Great music always, thoughtfully inspired, and unmistakably you every single time. Thank you for making incredible music (and giving some Ram love, we all love Ram)
He pulled a whole ass sukiban show out of no budget. It’s like anti toku in the best way possible. How does every video make me love him more? Here’s to the endless 80’s.
@@Kskxjnsm00sukeban is a term meaning "delinquent girl". It usually refers to female gangs, but it is also a Japanese TV show and manga genre characterized by large female casts. On the other side tokusatsu, meaning "special effects" , often shortened to just toku, is a style of Japanese television show often featuring a largely male cast. Examples of a tokusatsu show would be Super Sentai or Power Rangers as it was known in the west, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider. Sadly, sukeban did not make quite as big a splash in the west, so it is very uncommon for westerners to have heard about many of the most popular sukeban media properties.
@@MooseEatsBear Oh actually I like tokusatsu a lot (thank you though, it could be helpful) but I don't get how this is "anti" toku. Maybe they're to referring to the low-budget (not that low imo)? Idk some tokusatsu series weren't that big, it was all about costumes and eventually special effects (Kamen Rider was kind of low budget too, atleast the first series/episodes)
Dear Mr. Root, while I was watching this, my younger sister came over and said "bruh, why are you watching some 80's show???" So I think your effect was accomplished! Great song and video as always!!!
@@unknowncontent2972i dont think thats what he means by "timeline" I think the term timeline here just means sequence of events, as shinbangumi happens after nisemono We know that because shinbangumi literally starts after "meet you in the galaxy"
Cameron does really understand a classic staging of Japanese Anime or TV series that rooftop of school is always open for students and students always experience something matters, despite it is where all students never step into in real.
@@ConnorJara They're saying that, despite it being a common trope to see student characters have a dramatic scene on the school roof, they're not allowed up there in real life.
@@Eloraurora Back in the 80s ? I have a acquaintance that visited Japan back in the day, and passing by a school he did noticed a lonely schoolgirl in the rooftop.
Despite only running for one season, Radio Sukiban Rooftop Rock Show was one of the most definitive examples of a Delinquent Rock Gang media available during its era. In fact it was the only example. But it’s still peak.
My 7-year-old son is a huge fan*, and he took the ending of this music video way too seriously. He thought Ginger Root was going to be finished by the evil CEO of Juban TV, and he cried. Dear Ginger Root, you better be indestructible in the next music video. *He literally made us play 'Better than Monday' for hours on our last road trip.
@@jp_ha_1 Thank you for the reminder! He really loved it! And he is still skeptical about the CEO - "He is still a bad guy. What would he want from Ginger Root?! ..."
I mean, she's playing 7 different roles in the same show: 1. Mother abandoning daughter with a guitar to grow on rock and roll 2. Protagonist (guitar girl in high school) 3. Villain / Rival kerchief afro lollipop girl 4. Henchman thug girl 1 (long black hair and darker lipstick) 5. Henchman thug girl 2 (short blonde hair and pianola) 6. Mysterious helper girl with glasses (ulterior motives for stealing guitar?) 7. Radio summoned long hair woman with glasses delivering the secret weapon, ultimate electric guitar That's quite impressive!
The guy at 1:55 looks exactly like my father, I'm completely serious. I called my sister and woke up my dad for this. I'm telling you that man is a carbon copy of him. I'm disturbed. He's my dad with a wig.
Seeing 80's Delinquent Schoolgirl TV's recreated with metaphorical music battles is some of the dopest, most creative stuff I've seen in awhile. It's all shot so creatively, with lots of really great visual storytelling going on. Can't wait to see the rest of the story, you guys have been absolutely crushing it so far!
Have you listened to some of his older songs too? I’ve been a fan since Nisemono but I listen to him a lot! Loving Slump and Multiply, those are probably some of my personal favorites
DUDE THIS IS SO COOL Ginger Root has a villain, a what was once an ally, and both parties have a goal to achieve. Love being subscribed to be able to catch these releases!
So, there I was...this 57-year-old ex hair metal keyboardist dude from the 80s (who grew up in the 70s) and I see a thumbnail about the Yamaha Reface series. In the video, they mention Ginger Root. Being naturally curious, I now find myself here in this glorious wonderland. The world needs more unicorns. Embrace it.
Shocked to see such a close match to (i assume) 1 inch open reel video tape. Even with the burn-in from lights. not to mention the fantastic replication of camera feedback (1:44).
You guys always release a hit when I'm going through it... your music always motivate me to keep pushing through these silly little slumps. I've been a fan since 2021, and it will stay that way till the end. Thank you Ginger Root!
How did the universe know that I needed Ginger Root in my life? Furthermore how have I lived without this? I am changed,rather profoundly. Mere thanks are inadequate.
ginger I have a very great appreciation for them because I listened to them when I was 13 years old at school, it was a beautiful time, and months later the pandemic happened and everything got worse, but their songs are a nice memory
I was looking for japanese surf rock music and I found this video. This is one of my greatest discoveries on TH-cam. Absolutely fantastic, both the music and the absurd story :)
I don’t know why ginger roots music doesn’t go much far… I think these songs are perfect and so much underrated…even this MV is so great… maybe it’s because if you first heard of this song you might find it not favorable but start from the second time you would find it legendary ❤❤
I love this dense pop sound! It reminds me of YMO's Naughty Boys period, and the theatrical portions evoke (to my hopelessly Western ears) the vibe of the skits on YMO's After Service. Simply fantastic. I look forward to hearing and seeing more! Thank you for this wonderful Ear Candy.
How did I end up discovering Ginger Root? I guess being on the indie music, vaporwave, & city pop pipeline led me to this! As usual, your music & music videos are awesome!
This is my favourite Ginger Root song. My girlfriend and I were both in the top .001% of listeners to it on Spotify wrapped. This video was the first thing I saw from this artist, and I was immediately hooked and became a Superfan. Obviously, the storytelling is with this one. But it wasn't the storytelling alone that hooked me. I wasn't thinking to myself, "Gee, I better stay tuned to the end to find out what happens!"

That explains teehee,, ~~we need yoyo reference though~~
Amazing again!! Another fantastic track!
Lovely influences. Great music always, thoughtfully inspired, and unmistakably you every single time. Thank you for making incredible music (and giving some Ram love, we all love Ram)
Ram as in, Paul McCartney Ram?
Dude this SOOO Sukeban. I love that show and that aesthetic. It's genius man. Sugoi desu yo!
He pulled a whole ass sukiban show out of no budget. It’s like anti toku in the best way possible. How does every video make me love him more? Here’s to the endless 80’s.
the context out of the context itself that he is actually producing a show with the 80s elements for the MV which is kinda insane
What do you mean "anti toku"?

Every time a Ginger Root video premieres, an angel gets their taxi cab

Angels driving taxis is another show I didn't know I needed to see.
A Travis gets their taxi cab.
Only in shibuya
I'm hard right now.
Dear Mr. Root, while I was watching this, my younger sister came over and said "bruh, why are you watching some 80's show???" So I think your effect was accomplished! Great song and video as always!!!
I hope you just went with it.
tell her, kid
the scene with the producer was amazing, the assistant moving the microphone forward so he could hear her better lmaooooo
Hmmmmm Hahahaha
And then...Ginger Root faced his greatest enemy...his former collaborator.
Ironic, since she was the one who brought him the fame
Uh Oh
[erased for misinfo]

Hi Kenny
Well played again, Kenny Lauderdale.
Loving the quality production of these music videos!
I didn't know I needed guitar sukeban school wars...
The Ginger Root Cinematic Universe is the best cinematic universe!
Let's not forget the fact that Ginger Root had to invent video-calls just to make the ending of this music video.

The dedication to recreating the visuals, sound, and feel of vintage TV is just beautiful.

Listen to some of his albums Mahjong Room, and Nisemono
I also know him because of "No problems" !!!

I have finally returned to the side of youtube that just recommends me bangers
Juban TV is going to be maaaaad
I'm convinced the ones who are behind it are yakuzas
過去にこんなドラマあったんって思うくらい再現度高くて笑う
I really surprised cause it seemed these kinds of drama was on tv actually 😂
This is one of those things that you've been wanting all your life but you dont know it until you find it.

I’m totally that first dude in the bar, chilling, absorbed in whatever wild things is on the tv
Another great job Ginger, this is the best saga yet.
This was great. As a fellow video maker and appreciator / advocate of 60's-80's Japanese TV - this rocked. Song was fun too :)

Wow, you nailed the nostalgia of a time period ... from the music, to the art and production style. So good 🙌
Omg the song is genuinely so pretty. Thank you Ginger Root for all the music, I can not wait for the album to come out!! ❤❤❤
Never heard of you before but this is exactly what I needed. Subscribed.
What the hell did I just watch as a rando suggestion on my YT feed? Whatever it is, I’m now a huge fan!
Same, I have no idea where this came from

Imagine you smoked too much and suddenly a friend puts this on their TV hahahaha. Good video
No need to imagine it here hahahaha!
The work behind this simple video must had been really complex. Its pure magic how it all fits together.
The special effect takes me straight back to those 70s Earth Wind&Fire MVs...superb!!!
I've watched this about two dozen times and starting to appreciate the great acting by the baby.
