Ginger Root - Loretta [YM2151 + SegaPCM]

[@emarceeqem4715]

Man. I thought this was lost media. I remember back in the 80s when I lived near the Juban district. There was this mom and pop game store. They had Loretta the video game bundled with a Sega Genesis for a discount my price. I'd been begging my parents for a Nintendo but when they finally broke down, they got me the Genesis instead. Really glad they did though. The gameplay of Loretta was really inventive for its time, there never was a game quite like it, and it was only on Genesis. It's too bad Juban TV's game division shut down after making only one game, but looking back I realize the market was saturated with many concurrently running Loretta projects at the time, almost like they were beating a dead horse on purpose. Loretta 1 was perfect as is. No idea why they had to go and make so many sequels. But the video game was still good.

[@megabaz9]

Yeah, everything went downhill since the second game and the movie came out, but I'm glad the original creator is working on other projects like the overdrive academy series despite all the struggles he had to go through

[@emarceeqem4715]

@@megabaz9 Ohh yeeeah. I've heard of Overdrive academy. I should go check my VHS collection to see if I still have it. I heard the lead role was Kimiko-chan. Her acting skills have really matured since her performance in Meet You in the Galaxy. It's shocking that she could pull off a sukeban role with such seeming ease.

[@JonSpeedArts]

I made the pixelart for this video using Warioware DIY for the ds

[@8squared007]

looks like art straight out of the series

[@SillyDogJoe]

That freaking rocks, it looks stellar and I love the bounciness of the animation

[@sack6oy]

OH SHIT Jon you did this?????? Ur animations rock dude!

[@spaalonebabuguuscooties]

i was just about to say how it reminds me of warioware

[@ty-and-co]

crazy

[@Laagy]

There are so few Ginger Root chiptune covers so I'm glad this exists

[@KryptoCon]

GOD BLESS GINGER ROOT

[@KrzysztofPikes]

It is so shocking how similar to the original this is, going crazy over this instrumentation, cannot express how much I love this :D!!!

[@megabaz9]

I got obsessed with it lol

[@spiritgirl.mp4505]

best cross-over ever

[@Ellactric]

YOOOOOOO GINGER ROOT X MEGABAZ???? truly amazing :D and great cover too!!!!! :3 love the use of pitch bending to mimic cam's singing :3

[@megabaz9]

It's my favorite detail haha

[@Ellactric]

​@@megabaz9 definitely a good one!!

[@questionablemotivegirl6054]

I can't believe this just came out, and its incredible! I literally just got into Ginger Root, perfect timing.

[@jhonatangdeuva]

Same dude. XD A friend did just introduce this masterpiece recently. And look where we are.

[@FizzyK-45]

Man, City Pop is such an unique genre, for some reason it can make me both happy and melancholic at the same time. 😅 Great cover, I need to listen to more City Pop artists. ❤

[@KurffyOfficial]

Loretta and Loneliness are my favorite Ginger Root songs 👀this was such a welcoming surprise. Thanks megaBaz!

[@clairenime]

DUDEEEE!!!! I love this song no way!!! Definitely an unexpected song to cover but man I’m so happy. This song used to be looped like crazy on my playlist.❤❤❤❤

[@spinobimkiii7443]

Thanks for introducing me to Ginger Root, man!

[@tipotimidoalt]

woah first kikuo, then ginger root! youre covering some of my fav artists! very cool

[@JenukiDa]

YEAHHH oh gosh I found out about Loretta / Ginger Root a while ago and fell in love with their music. I seriously love that you're tackling covers of these kinda artists (like Serani Poji)!!! Keep up the amazing amazing amazing work!!!! 🙏🤍

[@foofpilled]

MegaBaz? And Ginger Root? Goat recognize goat

[@FletcherVHS]

im so glad ginger root is picking up among all of my friends and favourite channels, this is such a joy.

[@ShineTermiten]

Man, now I kinda need an argumentative essay about how to go nuts every single time! Arrangements from your part bring a lot of quality to the table ❤ Keep going on...

[@MixAndMash]

Can tell you put a substantial amount of effort in the things you create! Keep on shining.. I love this

[@MultiUniverseVideo]

WE MUST DEFINITELY USE THIS !

[@megabaz9]

Just credit me!

[@MultiUniverseVideo]

@@megabaz9 YEAH !

[@quisken7793]

oh my god PEAK just dropped

[@BruteFM]

The attention to detail is outstanding. Well done! I wasn't aware of how great the bassline is all the way through and it stands out in your mix.

GINGER ROOT MENTIONED!!!!!

[@captaincomets]

WHAAAT i love ginger root!!! megabaz and ginger root… its a dream come true

[@saunter-music]

"First song that I ever made to practice how to use Furnace" (btw this got stuck in my head, deserves a sub) The song:

[@sack6oy]

The animation looks like one of those endless Rhythm Heaven minigames!

[@dolphin550]

This video single-handedly got me into Ginger Root. Thank you so much for allowing me to discover one of my favorite artists!

[@colinbrinkley]

I didn't know about the original song until you released this cover a couple of weeks ago. I've gone back and forth between this one and the original a few times now, and this is a stellar cover!

[@Maelthorn1337]

I just went and listened to the original song and now I appreciate this even more. Don't know if its as a result of listening to this first but I prefer your version. The samples used as well as having some of the melodies louder/more towards the front gives it a much more upbeat mood that just makes me want to dance.

[@bomatosauce]

how are we supposed to carry on after you drop such a banging cover piece

[@Brave-tamer]

Okay i wasn't expecting this but that makes it all the more a joy to listen to

[@MACHOLOR]

I like to listen to this side by side with the og, they're both very comforting ❤️

[@SakamotoIbuki]

I am so blown away at the quality and the charm this video exudes, so timeless!

[@Beauregard42]

I love it. Gonne put this onto an actual VHS tape. We all need more Ginger Root.

[@Noentiendo-qb3ve]

A match made in heaven

[@citronaide95]

I LOVE GINGER ROOT!!! THIS IS AMAZING

[@sandristas009]

bro always cooks the best videos

[@IcySandvich]

This introduced me to ginger root and now I listen to their music non stop, I sincerely thank you

[@ganduro6629]

It is WILD how accurate this is. Great job.

[@hmmkaythen]

heck yeah, yet another banger cover! the lyrics being included + the animation being perfectly timed to the beat (the snapping is on point) are the cherries on top!

[@megabaz9]

Syncing it to the beat was one hell of a task

[@BananaJuice-ue6pi]

Thanks for introducing me to this great song Baz!!

[@noonespecial311]

This sounds so good! And the animation is brilliant. You both did an amazing job on this. I always get really excited when you upload a new video. Amazing work

[@megabaz9]

Thank you :))

[@DeathPlayer2478]

This is so beautiful ;) nice work on it, the drop every once in a while is really good 👏

[@ArchDennam]

now would you even believe that i found this before i found ginger root? this showed up in my feed and for a couple days i didn't think too hard and thought this was just a sick tune, added a level of respect knowing it's a faithful rendition of peak modern city pop groove

[@summerlaverdure]

this is so amazing 😍 2151 is perfect for it, thank you for making this!

[@DiscoReptile]

Yet another one that I listen to the original of frequently! And this is a great tribute to it, all the little details I enjoy in the song, you picked up on. SO many cover artists miss my favourite little moments! You never disappoint.

[@megabaz9]

Thank you, seems like we have a similar taste when it comes to music haha

[@DiscoReptile]

@@megabaz9 Hahaha, my friends, flatmate and I sometimes let the algorithm decide what we listen to while we play card games or whatever, but there are a few (like this) that we go back to deliberately. I also ripped an MP3 of it and stuck it on my mp3 player a while back. I wonder if pixel/chiptune people like you and I are drawn to tracks that lend themselves to covers like this- not to discredit your own contribution of course. I have so many tracks I want to animate to if I only had the time. ...Anyway lol. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@fullofflair]

(starts tearing up profusely) this is so peak i cant believe my eardrums

[@kirbthulu3647]

It always seems i discover good songs when megabaz makes a new cover lol. Song and this cover are great. Time to listen to it on repeat for the next eternity!
