ATARASHII GAKKO! - Tokyo Calling

[@Six_Strings]

It is so wild to see them go from their humble internet videos to the world stage. I love how accepting the American talk show crowd is of them.

[@brakey3065]

they are all stage.

[@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

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.

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

[@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.

[@FlewitMusic]

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

[@CarsonHawkins-v6u]

Their choreography is insanely mesmerizing. Like almost hypnotic. The music just adds to it. I don't feel like I'm listening to music. I feel like I'm being lulled into a trance. It's kind of insane.

[@NeonPixels81]

They do all of their own choreography, and if you visit their KZbin channel, they actually post a lot of their dance practices and choreography sessions on there!

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.

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.

So refreshing. I love their choreos. Unique and genuine and somehow they feel relatable and danceable while actually being really skilled and not that easy at all hahah. But that relatability, realness is there and that's a huge factor for me. And they're very imaginative and creative, with having a great attitude and a sort of philosophy/theme to them. 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.

すごい、凄すぎる！アメリカの超有名な番組でも臆することなく自分達のパフォーマンスをやってますね！！🙌 カメラワークも４人全体を捉えておくことが多くて良かった👏

[@コンポタ-j2f]

そうなんですよね！ 4人全体を撮っててくれるから魅力が伝わってきてすごくいい❣️

[@遠藤正美-o8v]

何が凄いって、日本語でガンガン歌いまくっても通用するって事です。 ジャンルを軽々ととに超えていることのまた凄い！ そしてまだ若いということとすでに8年のキャリアにもビックリ‼️🎉

Japanese music: Jmetal (Baby Metal) & Jrock (Band-Maid) have a growing following in the US. For Band-Maid alone they toured the US 3 times for 2023. And yes, their songs are all in Nihongo. Their music transcends language barriers.

​@@Bulbagaba992 Don't forget CHAI and Otoboke Beaver😊

[@shoyuramenoff]

I saw them perform live and they were incredible. Seeing them perform Tokyo Calling was one of the highlights of my night. But they just kept up the energy the whole night.

[@another486]

Tokyo Callingは回を重ねる毎に パフォーマンスが進化してる気がする！😳 めちゃくちゃかっこいい！

[@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!

[@AleXavierR]

I love that the crowd responded so well to them! Hard not to with the energy the carry! This group has jumped into my favorites recently.

AG is taking the world by storm! They could be the next big thing. I saw them in Chicago and their show is so much fun. A really amazing group of brilliant young women.

[@KingJaeTV]

Tokyo Calling is a banger!!!

[@BeansonsBeans]

[@metalimat94]

[@kokohike]

[@sorasore622]

I LOVE ATARASHII GAKKO ❤💝💖💓🌹✨🌟

[@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!

[@hardscape802]

Idk what that was but beats all American music now days. It’s hard to find anything decent bet to listen to now days, that was epic.

[@ManuelFresh100]

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

[@たぬき平八郎]

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.
