I just saw Atarashii Gakko in Chicago a few days ago. They played this video before the show started, much louder than my home stereo. Was strange going to a show with no instruments being played as an old metalhead. Was a great show and the crowd was LOUD! Pineapple Kryptonite and Suki Lie are fun songs.
This is an EPIC collaboration between the legendary MtH & my favorite free spirited ATARASHII GAKKO!!! One thing for sure, these four unique and very talented ladies are never afraid to try new things. They're experimental, versatile and do not let themselves be boxed in one genre only. This is one major reason why I admire them so much. Kudos MtH & AG! 💥🔥🤘
J-Mello on the Japanese channel NHK World did Nemophila and Atarashii Gakko on same episode. It was cool to see AG head banging to Nemo. And, Saki mentioned she liked watching the recent concert AG did previously to the interview.
This collab was absolutely fire. Shimi was already a fav, but AG added an extra layer. The imagery in this was phenomenal. Grungy, post apocalyptic, industrial, crows flying, traditional Japanese culture, even some Japanese horror movie elements (The Ring or The Grudge come to mind). The beating heart under theur blouses in Kanon's solo was fantastic.
I love both band and this version of shimi so much! If you're down to react atarashii gakko, i recommend otona blue in the first take, tokyo calling or koi geba! Great reaction
Thank you for this reaction, guys! MTH and Atarashii Gakko just became my favorite japanese groups. They are so different, but at the same time both of them share this awesome and crazy energy that captivates me. Please, react to Sepultura - Ratamahatta.
Great reaction. Thought AG did a good meshing with Maximum the Hormone here. If you plan on reacting on anymore of Atarashii Gakkou I'd recommend maybe trying one of their older songs such as, "mayoeba toutoshi". Thanks :).
For more Gakko goodness, please check out their songs Seishun wo kirosakuhado, Tokyo Calling, and Otonablue (First Take version). Yes, in that order. Thank you 😊
@@Samurai_Stoner Tokyo Calling was the very first AG song I heard, and I was totally blown away. Apart from its overall ominous vibe, I really dig the song's mesaage of trying to break free from the stupor of city life. Best of all, I love how it's a nod to London Calling by The Clash which has a similar lyrical and musical theme.
You know about MTH so I'll concentrate on AG! and you said their name pretty much spot on. Atarashii Gakko are the four women in the school/sailor uniforms. Their name means "New School" and they are a song and dance group who are becoming quite popular. Their original name was "Atarashii Gakko no Leaders" which means "Leaders of the New School" but they have dropped the "no Leaders" part to avoid confusion outside of Japan. AG! formed back in 2015 and are managed by Asobisystem and 88Rising. Mizyu (two hair bunches and shown "playing" the shamisen) had already worked with Asobisystem as a backup dancer with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Suzuka, Kanon and Rin joined her. Mizyu is three years older than the others and so was sometimes called the leader by journalists, and the others still look to her in some circumstances, but Suzuka's extrovert personality and strong voice make her the obvious front woman - she's the tallest and has the first solo in the video. Still, AG! are always quick to say that they have no leader. They are all trained dancers and do all of the choreography themselves and work with various producers on the songs including H ZettM, Money Mark and Yonkey. Their artistic input sets them apart from most J-pop and K-pop idol type groups and their stage shows are performed with a unique joy and flair. They set out to subvert many of the conventions of idol groups so they are often described as alternative idol or idol adjacent. They just released a new album called "AG! Calling" and are on the second half of their first World Tour. AG!'s music is all over the place, but their style is always entertaining and fun and for an intro to them have a look for "Atarashi Gakko, Otona Blue, The First Take". Make sure you turn on the English subtitles. The music is not metal, but the performance can be appreciated by everyone.
That was a shamisen NOT a sitar. Shamisen is a traditional 3 string Japanese instrument sitar is a traditional multi string Indian instrument. Other than that GR8 reaction guys
Great reaction! Atarashii Gakko no Leaders (the full name of the group) translates to "Leaders of the New School". Theyre a singing and dance group who do their own choreography. They conbine many different genres, and even tho they dont do metal, their attitude certainly is very metal. Theyre intense, energetic, and confident, never afraid to seem silly or too intense. If you'd like to check them out, id recommend starting with their song Otonablue, the First Take version
This is really a perfect collaboration that we never expected, as the bands are musically very different, but similarly crazy. We're still hoping for a collaboration between MTH and Hanabie, but with a completely new song that both bands will compose together.
If you decide to check out more Atarashi Gakkou I'd strongly recommend listening to pre-2021 songs first. post western debut they completely changed their sound. so reaction-wise it's two totally different groups My guess would be that some people probably prefer their new songs so it's worth checking out too but please start with the original, they were really unique and interesting
The second song in the "ad", after Shimi, was "ChuChu Lovely MuniMuni MuraMura PurinPurin Boron Nururu ReroRero" feat ano. There's no music video for it (yet) and I don't know if they released the single on any platform. MTH still don't have a lot of their catalogue on Spotify or YT, so it's never a given with Warner Music Japan, who absolutely still live in the early 2000s, as seen by the frequent copyright strikes and blocks on every video if you're not careful. I don't know if you already did, but ano is also worth checking out. She has a lot of rock-y stuff, even though most of it is more in the JPop range of music. But she herself is absolutely punk and anti-conformism. You could check out "ZeZeZeZettai Seiiki" from the First Take, feat Lilas Ikuta from YOASOBI and written by TK (you know, he wrote Unravel) or the MV of 普変 (Fuhen) but you should turn on CCs for that one because the lyrics are great as well.
Eh? My previous comment is gone. Here are some suggestions to listening to Atarashii Gakko. * Otonablu (First Take) - very good * Otonablu (Original) - good * Nainainai - good * Night before exam - good * Suki Lie - good * The edge (animated) - good * Pineapple Kryptonite * Hanako * Janaindayo * Maningen * Tokyo Calling - nope, boring
Ah! I forgot the ones that do not have western names. They are actually better! * 恋ゲバ - this one is very tough, its about teacher having an affair with a pupil in a very bad way * 最終人類 - good * 迷えば尊し - very good Then I also forgot all the fantastic dance practice * Candy - good * Fantastico - good * Giri Giri - good * Nainainai - good * WO!GO - good * オトナブルー = Otonablu * Hanako
I saw Atarashii Gakko in San Francisco, and they played the original version of Shimi before the concert. None of us knew what it was since they didn't release this video until the day after.
hi chris and sam good news, brand new, vob just release the new single the official lyrics video of mighty island song just couple days ago, need you reaction.
The best to check out for Atarashi Gakko is Otonablue performance at First Take. Personally I find Tokyo Calling to be totally uninteresting, no good melody and nothing interesting happen, do not know why people like it. Maybe just easy to remember the name.
They are striking channels for reacting to this one (there have been multiple reactors with strikes), I would be very careful. Maybe just ignore MTH stuff, they hate reactors and are very similar to what Metallica used to do with pirating software and such. I think they see reacting and youtube as the same thing.
@@smward87 It's the RIAJ. But since they represent most Japanese record labels, it can only come on request of someone involved with the band or almost all Japanese music reactions would get a strike. Btw, they have killed channels years ago with their strikes, they are notorious for it. Check "Maximally Moronic ...how to alienate online communities with copyright strikes" for more info on that as one of the people there his old channel is gone because of them. Also, check "Party Like A Rockstar" about the strike he got now for more info on who sent the request.
You may want to delete this before you get a copyright strike guys. MTH is handing them out like free candy for this video from what I hear.That's a shamisen, not a sitar. 😁
It's Warner Music Japan, not MTH. They do this with all of their artists. Too many 60+ year old dudes in their management that don't know what YT is because they don't know globalization, I guess.
@@ANDOR- According to Howard from Baka Broadcast, the strike he got had an email attached to it that was directly linked to one of MTH's websites, so who knows? Either way, it's not a good idea to react to them.
@@billb.5183 Yeah, I just know that Warner Music Japan still lives in the early 2000s with a lot of their artists, so it wouldn't surprise me. Also a lot of blocks and strikes come from labels/agencies, even though some of the artists even enjoy seeing reactions to their songs. But, as you said, it could be either way and either way it's pretty dangerous with MTH.
@@ANDOR- Party Like A Rockstar got an email from the RIAJ, which is representing basically all Japanese record labels, but you would think all Japanese reactions would get strikes if it's on the request of the band (or I guess the label). Also with the past stuff with Baka's Broadcast's old channel getting killed by strikes by MTH years ago and now getting emails from an address that is linked to MTH (check the Ears To The East discussion "Maximally Moronic ...how to alienate online communities with copyright strikes"), I would say MTH has more to do with it that you would think. Especially since they have always been extremely harsh against copyright stuff (including their track A.L.I.E.N.) and just having a similar stance to Metallica back in the day. Yes, Warner Japan is a pain to deal with from what I have heard, so it might be them, but it's strange to me that it happens so often with MTH tracks. Edit: Btw, I was contemplating getting the physical release for a while, but this whole thing makes it so I don't want to get any of their stuff any more. So whoever did it, they at least lost one sale, probably a bunch of them depending on how long they will keep going.
@@MaartenT I've heard that thing with RIAJ before somewhere. I have no idea how they work, but I agree that it's probably by request, otherwise nobody would be able to react to any Japanese artist. It wouldn't surprise me either way because Warner Music Japan and MTH are pretty much anti-streaming and globalization in general it seems. As long as they can live in their early 2000s world and sell CDs in Japan, they're happy. It is (was) the same with BiSH and WACK, they're super quick to hand out blocks and strikes as well. If you don't have a single video with English subs on your official channels (for all groups) and even block merch sales for people outside of Japan, even though their overseas fanbase wasn't small by any means, then you probably don't give a shit about western fans or want to even shoo them away. It's the same with MTH, I was stunned to see Shimi actually had English subs, maybe it was by request from AG, who knows.
Honestly it is almost a perfect example of how to do a collab. Remixed the song in a way that updated it for them by highlighted the style of AG. There is a weird amount of metalheads who are fans of them, myself included
God Nao looks just so damn elegant in her vocal section.
Love atarashii gakko so much

Was strange going to a show with no instruments being played as an old metalhead. Was a great show and the crowd was LOUD! Pineapple Kryptonite and Suki Lie are fun songs.
Just saw em in DC and they blew those speakers OUT. Great show
Just saw AG in Austin tonight and it was nonstop energy. They had the speakers set to 11. Great group to see live!
This is an EPIC collaboration between the legendary MtH & my favorite free spirited ATARASHII GAKKO!!!
One thing for sure, these four unique and very talented ladies are never afraid to try new things. They're experimental, versatile and do not let themselves be boxed in one genre only. This is one major reason why I admire them so much. Kudos MtH & AG! 💥🔥🤘
Love ATARASHII GAKKO!!! Please 🙏🏽 they deserve more love!
AG! are really aweome (especially their older, jazzy stuff f.ex. "Night before the exam (Single take performance)"), one of my favorite groups.
their versatility is insane, it's no wonder they're able to match up with a band as chaotic as MtH so well
リアクションありがとうございます😊
That instrument is a shamisen, not a sitar. It only has 3 strings.
yeah, a sitar has to put it politely "a fuck load" of strings
J-Mello on the Japanese channel NHK World did Nemophila and Atarashii Gakko on same episode. It was cool to see AG head banging to Nemo. And, Saki mentioned she liked watching the recent concert AG did previously to the interview.
This collab was absolutely fire. Shimi was already a fav, but AG added an extra layer. The imagery in this was phenomenal. Grungy, post apocalyptic, industrial, crows flying, traditional Japanese culture, even some Japanese horror movie elements (The Ring or The Grudge come to mind).

In speaking of Kanon, was she the girl who did the helicopter hair headbang at the beginning?
First reaction that someone actually knew the original song, this is one of my favorites from mth its so good, this whole og album was so good man
I love both band and this version of shimi so much! If you're down to react atarashii gakko, i recommend otona blue in the first take, tokyo calling or koi geba! Great reaction
I was waiting for your reaction to this!

Me too. I just discovered them April of this year. Then I found out they played at a festival in Manila February 2024.
Essa Hoisa! Atarashii Gakko! No leaders! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥🙌
I do love 'pineapple kryptonite', but my favourite Atarashii Gakko! song is their live version of Otonablue on 'the first take'
More Atarashii gakko pls!

The instrument is called Shamizen. Its a kind of Banjo that is played with a huge plektrum.

Definitely recommend Tokyo Calling
🤘MTH x AG!🤘
New School Leaders are touring the US now. Deep Ellum on the 17th. Not your papa-san's idol group fer sure.
Finally MTH have proper English subtitles 😂
The pronunciation is correct.
If you want a Sepultura song that few people know, try to find their cover of "Angel" by Massive Attack. ;-)
Up next, TOKYO CALLING🗣️

Can we get a silhouette reaction, by Thrice?
How were yall able to post this? I got blocked for showing this video.
hi chris and sam good news, brand new, vob just release the new single the official lyrics video of mighty island song just couple days ago, need you reaction.
Sam , you nailed the pronunciation
I think some reactors have gotten strikes for this one.
FYI, reactors are getting strikes with no warning on this video. Be careful.
DeepL Translate is more accurate for translations.
It's not a sitar.
Nemophila covered this song. MTH uses three vocalists in their original version. Mayu does it all. It's freakin' great.
The best to check out for Atarashi Gakko is Otonablue performance at First Take.
Personally I find Tokyo Calling to be totally uninteresting, no good melody and nothing interesting happen, do not know why people like it. Maybe just easy to remember the name.
I concur!!!!! Their personalities really come out too.
I wonder why this old one that disappeared came back?
