Discovered them a week ago and I can't get enough of this song. They are awesome.

Yes, I get bigtime Saturday afternoon "Creature Double Feature" vibes from the video. The amazing model work for the city, the costumes, the horns in the music, all intended as a throwback to classic kaiju movies of the 60's with an uplifting message of positivity. Masterfully done. Atarashii Gakko No Leaders (leaders of the new school) are very talented singers and dancers. They are bursting with charisma, and it shines through in their dancing - all of which they choreograph by the girls themselves. Musically, they work with a lot of talented song writers and producers. This means they don't really have a set genre they are restricted to. For their more contemporary pop inspired *Snack Time* Ep they collaborated with Money Mark of Beatie Boys fame. The song "Pineapple Kryptonite' is a good example of this. Working with H. Zettrio steered them in a jazz/rock fusion direction with 'Koi Geba' perfectly demonstrates this style.

I believe this song is a call back to "London Calling" from The Clash. This song is telling people to go out and do something with your life other than work long tedious hours or even a life or job you don't want. Enjoy life more. There should be captions, watch again with them. Glad you like them!

Good observation!

[@bartonbagnes4605]

So much fun. Definitely modeled after Japanese monster movies.🏯🐉

[@JSAiKO]

You're pronouncing their group name properly don't worry 😀 I loved this when I first saw it, gave me Beastie Boys Intergalactic vibes 😅

[@jeffedwards9180]

Actually, they've worked with the Beasties producer, Money Mark. There is also a Atarashi Gakko video covering Intergalactic.

i sent this video to my brother and ask " why does this remind me of godzilla?" 4:30 pm channel 5 " the big show" followed by a short weather update featuring Bob Lobertini. ( only us old time Nashvillians will get this)

AG are not that controversial. Their comments on Japanese society are delivered with humor and grace. Something that BabyMetal has been doing for over a decade with regards to a women's role in Japanese society. Speaking of Babymetal, where are they on this channel?? A glaring omission considering they are the group that started the Japanese girl group tend that is recently so in vogue and they are still the innovators that are leading the way.
