When city pop was rediscovered by a new generation, it was inevitable that someone would come up with new songs. Ginger Root definitely does the genre some justice here.
Shout out to the Ginger Root clones in the background who were created to make this video, and whose lives no longer mean anything or have any purpose now that this video has been completed. They're the real heroes.
Love it when musicians perfectly replicate the vibe of a certain era, you could probably go back in time and show this on TV in the 80s and people would be none the wiser
@@KaleLikesWaffles you can say its looks its pretty close to the 80's (the clothes and haircut, the colours and filtres) but there are some elements un the music that almost Scratch the 60's (like the voice) so id say its an aproach made from a mixture of elements from a blurry past time. After all, its almost impossible to determine when a trend started. You can say "i remember when i was a kid everyone used to wear a certain type of shirt" but can't Tell the exact moment when that wave started. To this thing web got to add that those kind of artist try to emulate a space of time when they werent even born so its pretty difficult ti be accurate on 100%
When this song first came out, my sister set it as my grandma's ringtone. Her name was Loretta. Whenever someone would call her, this song would play. She died last Tuesday, and now whenever I hear this song, I can't help but think of her.
I love how this is such unapologetic city pop worship, like the 80's Japanese live performances, as a lover of that type of music, I love how the old and the new clash
I found this song from his tiktok of him making the music video, and omg I’m so happy I found you. Your music is incredible and I hope more people find out about you, you deserve the recognition my guy. And I’m very excited for your EP coming soon
TH-cam: Here's a song you might like! Me: Oh cool, I've been listening to lots of CityPop as of late. I wonder what year this came ou- TH-cam: Last week.
That part where the guitar solo is jammin' and then the sax starts and he looks over and he cracks that surprised smile. This was made with a real love of the craft and it shows.
Technically no but, YES it's more of a early Chinese (mainly Hong Kong and Taiwan's 70s, 80s and early 90s) thing then a Japanese City pop but they're mostly the same style so I would said yes sorry if im being way too serious lol
Today I heard about you on the radio in Japan🇯🇵 It seems that you know well about Japanese Citypop in 80's or 90's and all of your songs made us really excited!! I wish I could explain how I was impressed by you in English😂 だいすきです！
Wow Japan, that's awesome. It's cool to see they're getting the radio time they deserve all over the world. I just heard this song in our grocery store today of all places and it blew my mind. Hope all is well over there.
@@jungkookiseverything6135 Good question. Back in the ‘80s it was simply called “Funk & Soul” in America, and “City Pop” in Japan. Today, people call it many names: Future Funk, Indie Pop, Vaporwave, etc.
@@jungkookiseverything6135 songs: dolphin in town, stay with me, plastic love, 4am, fantasy (by meiko), bay city, midnight pretenders and telephone number
I thought this music died, I’m glad it’s back. Recently I have been listening to Masayoshi Takanaka again and felt sad that I wouldn’t be able to hear music like that again that was new, and you my friend have not only brought it back but also crushed it!
Maybe I'm wrong, but weren't Ariel Pink, Neon Indian, Metronomy and others releasing similar music during the last years (the 2010's)? It's got that Lo-fi/ hypnagogic pop vibe, at least to me.
Coming from an ignorant American, I had no idea this genre of music existed until I found this song, I've listened to a few other songs like "Plastic Love" and "Bay City" but do you happen to have any specific recommendations?
If you dig this check out the rest of his catalog, dude has a real gift for creating catchy/feel good beats. The music bid for Juban District is truly a vibe
When Ginger Root was introduced as one of the foreign City Pop tunes in Mariya Takeuchi’s radio, I found myself pulled into Tokyo nostalgia and couldn’t help thinking of future City Pop tunes. She said she was sure that the sound like Loretta couldn’t be made without being addicted to her husband songs and I felt warm inside. ジンジャールート応援してます！

I have no idea who any of you are or why this was recommended to me but I’d be lying if I said that this isn’t one of the best goddamn videos I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing on this website
I don't think people realize that this track is actually a goldmine in terms of lore. Based on just the lyrics alone, we can deduce a ton of things about Loretta: - she can be seen walking now and then -she can be seen coming near -everything she says is a lie -she was fooled -she never won the fight
I would say that Loretta is a femme fatale, using her presence as if that is everything he needs, but he knows it is not true, so that is why he is the real one fooling her for a very long time, mockingly saying that how they are supposed to carry on because he is too tired of her attitude or sarcastically provoking her to use other methods to finally conquer him. He is winning the fight.

@@saur1232 yeah, that’s what I’m thinking as well. I know he plays the guitar, drums and keys but the saxophone solo is either a sample on a synth or a possibly uncredited guest musician he brought on.

@@lamasan.220 Yes, but the drummer and bassist are there as support for live shows. He still does most of the recording by himself and even sometimes goes on tour by himself.

Oh hey, I just got recommended to this song and this is my first introduction to Ginger root. If you don't mind, can you give me some recommendations of Ginger Root's songs? :D
Agree! I found him through this song, and all of the music videos and even non-music videos are all super amazing. The effort put into them all is insane for how many views they have, and I have been listening to him for the past few weeks non-stop, its amazing.
My little girl put me on to this song because she listens to it everyday all day and sings it around the house because it's her favorite song and I have to say that I really love the vibe of this song. It's so nostalgic!!!😊💙😊
@@aloevera420 trust me they do. Especially the ones who don't fit in or refuse to fit in. They'd be drawn to anything that enforces their originality. I was one of those.
lyrics Loretta, I see you walking now and then Loretta, I see you coming near Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper How are we supposed to carry on? Well I've got to for now Forget her, and everything she said, she lied I met her, morning noon and night Well I'd say I fooled ya So Loretta, you never won the fight Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper How are we supposed to carry on? Well I've got to for now (Loretta, I've got to) (Loretta, I've got to) (Loretta, I've got to) (Loretta)
This is one of those times I've had a song that fit so well into one of my youtube music radios that I didn't even realise I hadn't heard it before. Then it started appearing more, and I realised it was amazing. Now I love it and can't believe I didn't seek out the music video before, and even more than that I can't believe this is just one person. Truly a certified banger.
this is so impressive, i don't even undersand how you stitched the video together, or how you got such a perfect TV look, we need a behind the scens video! oh and great song.
@@acatindisguise Nah, this definitely has more of a '70s feeling to it. The genre may have been popular in the early '80s as well, but it undoubtedly originated in the '70s.
It's 2024 and I just randomly clicked on this video...I'm in love with the Japanese music scene these days and this video and song is pure gold...PURE .....GOLD. You should be proud.
Didn't know a side effect of the vaccine would be to become absolutely, insanely obsessed with this song. In my head 24/7, I can't stop saying "Loretta" randomly at any moment of the day. Somebody help mE
You're not alone. When it dropped I whistled it all day at work for a week. A co-worker finally asked what song it was and I immediately belted out "🎵Lorettuuuuhh!🎵" My workplace weirdo cred has risen.
Just wanted to say this is one of the most vibey songs that I've heard, and the music video is so iconic. Glad to have been recommended this before it reached 1 million views.
As a westerner, this was really fascinating to learn. That japanese performers in a certain era had a way of performing. It is different from how we performed in the 70s, but still similar in a way. Thank you for this newfound knowledge. ❤
I love how we have a lot of great technology today, but one of our biggest tendencies as young people is to replicate or recreate this “vintage” records and stuff, quite ironic I might say
why is this one of his only songs that gets this many views?? everybody should listen to the other great music this man has to offer, like, is awesome how much of his music is fantastic

@@lamasan.220 Yes, but the drummer and bassist are there as support for live shows. He still does most of the recording by himself and even sometimes goes on tour by himself.
One of my favorite music videos ever. Even the conducting is accurate!
The algorithm has blessed me this day.
Lighten up my day
oh, now THIS is criminally underrated
right !?
PREACHH 🙌🙌
Your mother says odd things
The whole band is!!! Check out their other stuff!! They're so good
This is so Japanese in the 80's - reviving the City Pop genre!
I'm Japanese.
I agree with you.
I ♡ Ginger root so much.
私は日本人です。
あなたに同意します。
私は姜根が大好きです。
Big Tatsuro Yamashita vibes
The music video was based off that I believe 🥰
@@VGx7 yes, reminds me of Big Wave
this sounds more like funk/indie rock to me but there's definitely similarities!
I just now noticed that Loretta has almost 2M in views. I've been listening to Ginger Root since Weather came out and I'm extremely hyped seeing more people enjoying their music. Please people; keep listening, Ginger Root deserves the love.
This song is a banger though.
Oh hey, I just got recommended to this song and this is my first introduction to Ginger root. If you don't mind, can you give me some recommendations of Ginger Root's songs? :D
@@nururu3233 all of them ( the music videos are all really funny, and the music is all very decent too)
When I first started listening to ginger root he was at like 5K youtube subs, now this man is almost at 100k, good for him
Agree! I found him through this song, and all of the music videos and even non-music videos are all super amazing. The effort put into them all is insane for how many views they have, and I have been listening to him for the past few weeks non-stop, its amazing.
Currently playing Elden Ring and found this song before a certain boss fight. Played on loop the whole fight.
groovy
I agree mister radioheadfan69
My little girl put me on to this song because she listens to it everyday all day and sings it around the house because it's her favorite song and I have to say that I really love the vibe of this song. It's so nostalgic!!!😊💙😊
How old is your daughter? I didn’t think the younger gen would enjoy this music but looks like some of them do!
@@aloevera420 Well yeah! I’m 18 and I enjoy this and many other genres including the old and new stuff
@@aloevera420 trust me they do. Especially the ones who don't fit in or refuse to fit in. They'd be drawn to anything that enforces their originality. I was one of those.
@@aloevera420 I'm 16, and i do enjoy this kind of music
@@aloevera420 I'm an embryo, and I enjoy this type of music.
This song has that “driving around beach city on a Saturday Night” and I love it!
It's called "city pop" and if you google that term you will find many songs with the same feeling. Happy searching.
Keep Beach City weird!!!!
Why is there an identical comment directly below this one but from a different person
@@tissuepaper9962 thanks I appreciate it
@Elisha Martin The Channel Ronaldo, is that you??
lyrics
Loretta, I see you walking now and then
Loretta, I see you coming near
Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper
How are we supposed to carry on?
Well I've got to for now
Forget her, and everything she said, she lied
I met her, morning noon and night
Well I'd say I fooled ya
So Loretta, you never won the fight
Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper
How are we supposed to carry on?
Well I've got to for now
(Loretta, I've got to)
(Loretta, I've got to)
(Loretta, I've got to)
(Loretta)
I just saw him live today and he was so funny and had an amazing stage presence. Definitely the highlight of the music festival.
Was he multiplied?
@@Only.D.G. Of course.
Can I just say this band has improved my life by at least 63%. Your sound is what I have always been looking for
ikr? I remember the first-time hearing this with my sister, wish i can go back.
dreampop
That’s an oddly specific number
what happened to the 47% after 7 months lol
@@eulala267 you clearly don't know your math
Director: How many instruments you want to play?
Ginger Root: Y E S
Plot twist: He IS the director
This is one of those times I've had a song that fit so well into one of my youtube music radios that I didn't even realise I hadn't heard it before. Then it started appearing more, and I realised it was amazing. Now I love it and can't believe I didn't seek out the music video before, and even more than that I can't believe this is just one person. Truly a certified banger.
This is so amazing, I literally cannot believes this exist! I'm so glad City Pop is making a comeback.
this is so impressive, i don't even undersand how you stitched the video together, or how you got such a perfect TV look, we need a behind the scens video! oh and great song.
its called editing ..its really not that hard
@@psychoblack1411 no shit, a behind the scenes would still be fun.
Give us a tutorial then
@@6DADADA maybe outkast or Paul McCartney have a behind the scenes videos you can watch
@@psychoblack1411 that's what you should've replied to Clark with the first time
you can see a fair amount of people worked on it in the credits.
i agree it looks positively fantastic.
I'm loving this wave of faux 70s music. This aesthetic is absolutely magic.
actually it's faux 80s music - its inspired by japanese city pop which is a decidedly 80s genre
The love boat....
@@acatindisguise honestly sounds more 70s to me
@@acatindisguise Nah, this definitely has more of a '70s feeling to it. The genre may have been popular in the early '80s as well, but it undoubtedly originated in the '70s.
@@BIGAMBERFAN It's early 80s post-disco for me. There was still a lot of disco flavor in music from the early 80s.
Ginger Rootという名前を姜根と表すセンスがとても好き
This is sick. Can hear a lot of Masayoshi Takanaka and other 70s/early 80s Japanese City Pop artists in this. Such an awesome sound!
the starts really sounds like one of takanaka's songs, maybe he sampled it?
YES! I tried looking through his music to see if the first part was sampled since it sounded so similar.
that the guy who went to brazil?
I get a lot of jack stauber vibes from this
all the city pop is here
My boy ginger root literally cloned himself to make a bop. I'm here for it.
Oh wdup obn, who knew I'd find you here?
YOOOO FANCY SEEING YOU HERE OFF BEAT!!! BUMP BUMP BUMP
this is giving me paul mccartney "coming up" vibes
Thank you for making great beats obn.

I'm very proud Ginger Roots music is getting recommended to everyone, I hope everyone enjoys their music as much as I do and enjoy the vibes :)
It's 2024 and I just randomly clicked on this video...I'm in love with the Japanese music scene these days and this video and song is pure gold...PURE .....GOLD. You should be proud.
I don't know who Loretta is but she deserves to be thanked, without her this masterpiece wouldn't exist. Glad this was recommended to me
Didn't know a side effect of the vaccine would be to become absolutely, insanely obsessed with this song. In my head 24/7, I can't stop saying "Loretta" randomly at any moment of the day. Somebody help mE
You must carry on
damn gobment giving me good taste in music
@@cedar4539 HAHA
You're not alone. When it dropped I whistled it all day at work for a week. A co-worker finally asked what song it was and I immediately belted out "🎵Lorettuuuuhh!🎵"
My workplace weirdo cred has risen.
WOW
Hey kyuuwaii nice to see you here
You teasing something here? O-O
Hello mr kyuu
IKR😤
My man had a guitar solo AND a saxophone solo. Who is this angelic voice with smooth fingers?
Just wanted to say this is one of the most vibey songs that I've heard, and the music video is so iconic. Glad to have been recommended this before it reached 1 million views.
My mothers name is Loretta, she just passed and this song means so much more to me now.
Music has its ways doesn't it
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss friend

Sorry for your loss 😢💔
This song was randomly selected for me and now I have it on heavy rotation 🙌🏾
Just found this gem as well. 😍
Can I join the club? Just discovered this a week or 2 ago and can't get enough!
SAME!
True

40歳の韓国の方ですね。これまで何もない日々が続いていたとのことですが、私の歌を聴いてちょっとした幸せを感じていただけたとのこと、本当にありがとうございます。私の歌があなたにとって20代の大学生時代の思い出に戻るきっかけになれたなんて、とても嬉しいです。もう一度、ありがとうございます。
20代の中国系米国人ですよ
@@neutra1405 私は韓国人です。翻訳が間違って伝わったようです。
突然オススメに出てきて一気に好きになりました。
古くて新しい
ヴォーカルの遠さやキーボードが年代感あるけどどこか新しく
それが不思議な魅力になっていそう。
Masayoshi takanana vibes
８０年代前半の松田聖子、その雰囲気（音）を醸し出しているじゃないかと思います。
とにかくいいですね。
この昭和感溢れるステップに、時折なよってるような振り付け、四方に手を振って愛想振りまく締め方まで、明らかに欧米人ではやらない日本人ミュージシャンならではのパフォーマンス。
演技指導した人がいるのか、ルーの日本研究の賜物なのかはわからないが、日本人でも気付けないような鋭い観察眼に本当に頭が下がります。
Se ve claramente cultura J-pop en este video. Excelente!!! Hermoso video
As a westerner, this was really fascinating to learn. That japanese performers in a certain era had a way of performing. It is different from how we performed in the 70s, but still similar in a way. Thank you for this newfound knowledge. ❤
Obrigado por indicar isso aleatoriamente TH-cam, viciei em Ginger Root
Olha quem achei...rs MangáQ mano!
krl vc por aqui ,salve grande evandro kkkkk
evandro, sou fã demais do seu trabalho kkkkk
vc e foda, bom te encontrar por aqui!!!
Também viciei, simplesmente bom demais
O TH-cam fez a mesma coisa cmg kkk
This song is a vibe.
I love how we have a lot of great technology today, but one of our biggest tendencies as young people is to replicate or recreate this “vintage” records and stuff, quite ironic I might say
I'm from the era it's replicating and I wholeheartedly approve! X-D
if ain’t broke don’t fix it i guess
Perhaps it reminds us of what our parents or other grown-ups listened to when we were young.
@@TheGroovySideOftheTube That's actually interesting, I can see myself in the future getting hyped too if it's the same case lol.
I think it’s because it evokes simpler times
80's Japanese pop music, mostly resembling the sound of Tatsuro Yamashita but brilliantly giving his own signature of a different vocal style!
Got a favorite Tatsuro Yamashita song?
@@Mr.mister.J I am still looking for other of his masterpieces, but I personally vibe to "Sparkle" more!
'Merry go round' for me. Take care & enjoy your day/night.
@@Mr.mister.J I’ve always been partial to Kiss
@@go2yanks I love that song. Tatsuro never misses.
That growl tho when he says finally in “to turn back and finally whisper” chills my guy
AGREED😆🙌
why is this one of his only songs that gets this many views?? everybody should listen to the other great music this man has to offer, like, is awesome how much of his music is fantastic
GOATED
Mister Eggdog Man extends his blessing.
Well hello zamsire
Oh hey wyd here
If this can be in an eggy video that'd be wiiiiilde
Omg i love you
1:07 Look at the level of detail where the drums showing both Cameron's through and the reflection of the back singer one. High.Level.Production
At 2:00 where keyboard Cameron watches lead Cameron duck and leave
I’m confused why someone would ever dislike this. This song is so nice, especially the way you sang it
一人で全部演奏して、歌って、作詞、作曲！
凄すぎる😯
