Lyrics:
Go get what you want
Get hip to the signs and then you
Get lost in your thoughts
Just trying to prove, what’s with you?
Now, and again
The times I’ve tried to
Bow, and amend
The far and the fake, look sunlights fadin’
How can you say this is not for debatin’
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
I can’t be fake, when you're up and elated,
How, how can I say that you’ve got no problems too
Now tell me what’s wrong
There’s something behind your grinning
Been waiting too long
The show startin’ soon,
Head’s spinning ‘round
Not again
The times I’ve tried to
Bow, and amend
The far and the fake, look sunlights fadin’
How can you say this is not for debatin’
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
I can’t be fake, when you're up and elated,
How, how can I say that you’ve got no problems
I, I can’t take this, it’s not debated
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
How can you say this is not for debatin’
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
I can’t be fake, when you're up and elated,
How, how can I say that you’ve got no problems too
That I’ve got no problems too

New Hype

[@mickwritesmaui]

Can we take a minute to admire the COMMITMENT to the late 70’s/early 80’s aesthetic? Please Ginger Root, give us a behind the scenes. I’m dying to see how you put this all together.

[@Neuromancer23]

All the broadcast equipment, just as set pieces, incredible!

[@oioio-yb9dw]

It is an amazing thing what he does, I would gladly support him because he's really dedicated, the effort it takes to put this together. Admirable

[@CRneu]

The music is amazing but the video is blowing my mind. This is really a work of art and not just music.

[@Revima]

there's ways to make the footage look dated via editing.

[@iKnowaNoah]

​@Revima its more than just editing, though ofc thats a large part of it. everything down to the clothes and items theyre using are all so loyal to the era being emulated. it creates immersion and that's impressive, immersion is difficult to pull off, and takes a lot more than filters and editing

[@Bosco_Woo]

We are so sad to see you leave. I'm glad I bumped into you in the hallway 1:07 to bid you a final farewell. We at Juban TV wish you the best on your next endeavors. /s

[@MeOliver101]

Oh I thought you were the city slicker.

I love the symbolism. I think it represents him leaving his old self behind. At the same time, within the worldbuilding I think the Cameron in the black suit is actually Makoto, a mangaka within the Ginger Root universe.

[@gajidan]

Actually he's the Loretta 2 performer

[@grahamykins]

I left my job of 5 years literally today. This music video helped me realize I can still pursue my goals independently.

[@karlawanjiru3037]

I also really appreciate that this actually LOOKS like it was filmed in the late 80s/early 90s and nothing is overly detailed. (Huge pet peeve of mine when movies try this style but everything’s still way too detailed compared to how it was back then)

[@JimmyChen-fh5wh]

Still feel proud and excited ever since the Mahjong Room album. It's so magical seeing the growth of Ginger Root. Please come back to San Francisco & Taiwan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paolostefanoquintilianisaa6410]

[@haydenbsiegel]

"You can't just go around making things just for fun. It's a business.. show business.", damn good way to put that.

[@unconcernedsalad2]

the quirky DIY aesthetic of the ending, feels very faithful to the era you’re trying to emulate. so many movies at that time had gadgets and devices and home-made contraptions. seeing that same concept referenced here (whether intentional or not), really felt authentic. loved it !!

[@zacharybarteky3040]

The Ginger Root project is a testament to what is possible these days. We live in a golden age of creativity. Your love for what you do is evident in the high level of care and attention to detail on display. Looking forward to watching you grow as an artist. Keep up the good work, you've brought me a lot of joy in uncertain times.

[@brodeez]

i absolutely loved the loretta jokes, i know the last album was about imposter syndrome, but this one's story could be about feeling like you're falling short of what was your most popular song edit: some things to backup this idea, the idea of s1 of "meet you in the galaxy" flopping could be a feeling that nisemono "wasnt enough" and him not meeting juban tv's standard could be also referring to how he might feel that it paled in comparison to city slicker (it didn't btw) since both pieces of media are from those respective albums

[@nahuel_fernandez]

what- was it?

[@brodeez]

@@nahuel_fernandez if you're talking about nisemono, he says in the desc that it is, and if you think about it that way, it does show its themes through the MVs

Ginger Root's work ever since Nisemono always seems to parrallel Cameron's real life career to some extent
