Some info on what this song's actually about: They're criticizing Japanese overwork culture. This is a brave act for them, and it's almost exclusively done by lesser known artists. So them doing this on an international stage is a huge deal.

[@autotuneless3382]

Kinda Ironic since seems like their record label is making them overwork their asses off...

[@jonathangonzalez9673]

​@@autotuneless3382not to mention "oh you are old? Well gotta replace it, hopefully they have full control of their stuff

[@lazyscholar7932]

The music video makes it very clear even without knowing Japanese.

[@desroth]

Also the title is play on words in Japanese, or rather a play on sounds. Tokyo Calling sounds like Tokyo Korin (descending on Tokyo), which works with the fact that they are clearly in a Godzilla set for the music video and they are playing the Kaiju and the Defense Force.

Came here hoping someone had pointed this out. I already liked the song but when I realized that it blew my mind. Great stuff.

[@daixer3156]

How long have they been around?

[@lovecandy4608]

Sorry to crush your excitement, but they are paid to be there.

[@Existentialprophet]

No studio audience is paid, in fact they wait in long lines to go for free though, and fans will sometimes get tickets through giveaways or try to go to a show bc they announce the schedule in advance. In New York people fly in from all over just to see their favorite artist perform outside the studio. Especially if the group hasn’t performed in the area before but still has a large online following. It’s not hard to imagine fans would turn out to support. This is obviously a group that inspires a following.

[@daixer3156]

@@brakey3065 what do you mean? FOBS?

[@einmalzweimal9495]

What's special about this group is that they have been designing all their own choreographies since they were 14. They now even design choreographies for other groups. They also don't have a specific music genre, they do a lot of jazz fusion and punk and more recently have been working with the Beastie Boys producer Money Mark for the western market. They are NOT an idol group. Some have even called them an art project since it's so difficult to define them.

[@SnackPatrol]

I noticed that about them after stumbling across them on KZbin one day. They seem a lot less "souless"/manufactured like a lot of other K-Pop/J-Pop bands but could never put my finger on why.

[@RahmatTantular]

I never thought that they're not, "idol group" but the definitely seems like one. The even do performance regularly in Japan.

[@takkiemon]

@@RahmatTantular When I think of idol groups, I think of a musical group where selling the idols is more important than making good music. They have weekly fan meetups and are really honing in on this parasocial relationship between the idols and their hardcore fans. AG seems like a group that wants to make art first and foremost so no, I would say they are NOT an idol group

[@VeloSims]

I met them in 2018, it was a small venue in Shibuya with maybe 200 audience members. They were so impressive in their performance even back then, I remember them really standing out from other groups. After the concert the groups were giving autographs and selling merch - Atarashii Gakkoo didn't have any staff with them, just the four members. They waved at me, shouting "haroo!" and I really liked them so I went over and bought a cd. I could only say "thank you" or such in Japanese, but I remember their bright energy. Seeing them become globally known is just amazing.

It may not be that this song is blowing up internationally (I'm unsure of that) rather simply that this is their current single and therefore what they're promoting.

[@user-id8rh8lh1n]

They are both cool songs, but I like Tokyo calling more because of the lyrics. Otonablue is about wanting a "adult love" as a student, and this is about overworking problem.

[@svallee]

I've never been interested in pop music, and I would never have paid attention to AG in other circumstances. But one day KZbin suggested that I watch the Tokyo Calling music video, and after ignoring it for a few days, I watched, and... Oh my god. I was immediately hooked. After listening to the song dozen of times, I started listening to more of AG songs. They started to grow on me, even as someone who don't like pop music normally, and now I'm a huge fan of the band and most of their songs. I know of many, many others like me. I think Tokyo Calling is a kind of open door, that brings in a lot of new fans that would normally not have paid attention to AG or J-Pop otherwise.

To all of the bitter Koreans in the comments section, please stop. Your country has produced many K-Pop legends, you don't need to take your political beef with Japan and use that to hate on them (I am aware of the sordid history between these two countries, however, this isn't the place for that).

[@petitbois2272]

I appreciate all of you who like and support AG. Koreans know that if they say a lie out loud in front of the public, it will become true. In the past, Japan tried to prevent its soldiers from committing crimes. We brought in professional women for the purpose of preventing sexual crimes. They were paid high wages. It may have been misogyny. However, it was effective in preventing crimes on the battlefield and controlling soldiers. On the other hand, there is a woman who claims that a Korean national was abducted by a Japanese military jeep. At that time, the Japanese military did not own any jeeps. One woman testified that a Japanese soldier told her, ``I heard there's a cute girl here!'' and took her there. Is it really necessary for a Japanese soldier to speak fluent Korean and say something like that? They are well aware of the fact that the first to speak wins. AG hasn't studied that much, so I don't want him to get caught up in things like that. I want people to be able to freely entertain many people in a purely Japanese way. I hope so.

It's just so awesome to see a group like this that isn't afraid to not do the usual basic dance choreos and pop songs, bordering on something straight from a strip club or something, but actually doing something genuine, skilled, and different choreos full of personality. Same goes for the music. It's all over the place, but always interesting and often not basic mainstream music. I just hope the worldwide fame won't change any of that in the future.

Japanese music is next level. I've been to Summer Sonic, the concert that is held there in the summer. You don't even need to understand the lyrics to appreciate it. It is all about how the music makes you feel

[@user-ov2xp6xd5k]

That's right. Even Japanese people can only recognize about half of the lyrics.

[@Wolta]

I used to listen to music that way, very nice! Until I started listening to lyrics and realize that some of them are f'd up. Like something I'd rather not support by listening to it. So I would definitely like to know what people are singing about. That being said, the story behind Tokyo Calling and its lyrics are outstanding. Especially for such a young group.

[@VinceValentine]

Look up the translated lyrics, it's worth it

[@shinrodanreviews4322]

@@WoltaWell, not everyone song is going to have happy lyrics 🤷‍♂️

[@alukuhito]

I'd like to actually see the musicians though. This could also be lip synched, which isn't cool. The sound is too uniform, so I doubt it's even them singing here to a music background.

I feel like japan should be added to eurovision 😂 this is a banger

[@JayVulture]

So talented! From the love of Godzilla and Beastie Boys and some incredible choreography, this group has been on my playlist. Hope they continue to shine!

[@Kayelle315]

The Beastie Boys homage was surprising, to say the least!

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

So awesome to see how far they've come! I discovered them around 3 years ago with some of their more "home movie" style videos. Definitely worth checking out all their back catalog of videos!

[@soth1sol]

yes. find a youtube playlist and hit play.

[@creamcityribbon7703]

You we're introduced to them, you did not discover them.

[@soth1sol]

@@creamcityribbon7703 re scope of one's own musical "adventure" ...a word like "discover" is all the way appropriate. that's cool tho, find words that have multiple meanings, pick one that ignores all other context... and then post about it as if you're the opposite of not very bright...

個性と自由ではみ出して、海を渡ってJimmy Kimmel Live出演してるんだから、最高にカッコいいですAG👍

[@nanan1295]

I love how unique this group is. I cant look away.

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

I love how we all in this world is singing about our uncertain future. Its almost as if we know our society is ending soon. Its not as blissful as it can be or used to be.

[@balkibartakumus5810]

So impressed with this performance! They deserve the exposure, such hard working women! RIN was so crisp. Her vocals and dance were perfect! SUZUKA is always my favorite. She didn't disappoint! Love you KANON and MIZYU, thank you for coming to the US 🇺🇸🤗🇯🇵

[@infinitesession5439]

Yesssss!

[@sparkingthebliss]

Im obsessed with them now. soo cool

[@gabstermaster]

Got a little teary eyed bc they are amazing! went to head in the clouds and was waiting for XG and they were performing on another stage and I couldn’t see them but the energy they had was crazy I hope I get to actually see them perform sometime in the future.

[@ab-hf9wk]

2017年初めて知ったグループがここまで来るなんてあの時は想像もできなかった。夢みたい。でもいつか来るべきの日だったと思う。you girls are the best!

[@tomohiro-rt9ft]

今までの普通の日本のアーティストならこの舞台でtokyo callingみたいな楽曲やったら間違いなく失敗してたと思う。でも新しい学校のリーダーズは違う。どういうタイプの楽曲でも感動もしくは衝撃まで昇華することができる。素晴らしい。脱帽です。

[@rckli]

Absolutely nothing Kimmel has ever played compares to this It’s just 4 girls waving their hands around and I loved it

[@magzire]

wow... what a performance

[@sorasore622]

I LOVE ATARASHII GAKKO ❤💝💖💓🌹✨🌟
